You could burst your ribs plowing with a double shovel in
new ground. New ground is ground that has trees cut off of it and has been
cleared for planning crops. It is easy enough to cut trees down. But the roots
of the tree go everywhere across the ground. Some of the roots are deep enough
that you don't have to deal with them. It is roots close to the surface that
give you the problems. When you walk behind a double shovel you walk in between
the handles. These handle strike you about the middle of your waist or just
about where your ribs are. The horse is a powerful animal and when he is moving
along at a good clip and one of your plow blades hits a big root causes the
plow to go sideways the axis being the blade of the plow and the handle pops
into your site at a terrific force. I've had this happened to me several times.
Sometimes I would have to stop for a while to regroup.
