Syracuse hillside plows made by John Deere are available in areas of the country where John Deere was the primary implement dealer in the first half of the century (Figure 17). These plows are generally 20 to 30 lb (9 to 14 kg) lighter than the Oliver and Chattanooga, and they do not have a jointer knife and gauge wheel. The hillside draft is also controlled at the handles on these plows. Syracuse plows were made in an assortment of sizes from 6 to 12 in (150 to 300 mm).
