In animal-drawn mouldboard plough, which of the following part is used to control the depth of the soil and has convenient handles for easy operation?

  • A.Gauge wheel
  • B.Share
  • C.Landside
  • D.Handle

Answer: A

The key names the Gauge wheel.

On an animal-drawn mouldboard plough the depth of furrow is set by the gauge wheel, an adjustable wheel carried on the beam. Raising or lowering it changes how far the share can sink, so it limits the depth of ploughing and also helps in transport. That is the part the question describes as controlling the depth of the soil worked.

The share is the cutting edge that penetrates and cuts the furrow slice, and the landside is the flat plate that takes the side thrust and keeps the plough steady against the furrow wall. Neither sets the depth. The handle is the part the ploughman holds to guide the plough and to lift it out at the end of a furrow, so it is the part that has handles. The stem joins two descriptions in one clause, and the keyed reading follows the depth-control function, which belongs to the gauge wheel; the handle controls steering rather than the setting of depth.
