It is also fitted with a disc or revolving coulter for making the vertical cut through the soil. It was more common in the nineteenth century to use a knife coulter. At the front of the beam, the plough is fitted with an iron foot. This could be raised or lowered to adjust the depth of ploughing but, unlike wheels, could not be clogged by mud.<P> 53/54</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV>
