- Geddes Triangular Hinged Harrow, circa 1845 - Farmers have long used harrows to smooth soil and break up clods following plowing, and for light weeding. Triangular harrows were popular in frontier America, because they could negotiate obstructions such as stumps better than the traditional rectangular harrows. George Geddes patented this expandable triangular harrow, which worked well on row crops such as corn or tobacco.

- New York Dutch or Hog Plow, circa 1780 - This light-draft, single-handle plow was used by Dutch farmers of the Hudson Valley of New York well into the 1800s, despite being surrounded by English communities. A key feature of this traditional plow, the distinctive pyramidal plowshare, was adapted by English neighbors to create the "Carey" or "Connecticut" plow, which became popular across the new American nation.
