Plows/Farming Simulator 17
< Plows
A Plow is a tractor-towed device that uses metal blades to dig into the ground, preparing it for sowing crops. In order to maximize crop-yield, plowing is required every 3 crop cycles (by default). After a field is plowed, it will need to be passed over with a cultivator or a sowing machine that cultivates as it goes. Plows are absolutely required for the task of creating new fields to sow on, as well as joining two existing fields together.
The base game offers 5 different types of Plows. The Big Bud DLC adds 1 plow and 1 hitch adapter. They differ each other primarily in working width.
While not technically a plow in its right, the Grégiure Besson Trailed Lifter provides a three-point hitch adapter for tractors without one.
