The GilpinSulky Plow was not the first successful sulky design, but it becameone of the most popular in the country by 1880. In fact, the MolinePlow Works factory could hardly keep up with orders, despite havingreached annual production of 75,000 plows in 1876. By the 1880s, theJohn Deere Plow Company employed almost 800 men in its Moline PlowWorks factory.1890 John Deere came out with the Riding Gang Plow.With six good horses on hills, or four good horses on level land, sixacres per day could be plowed. It was universally used for the nextthirty years. The Panic of 1893, touched off by a New Yorkstock-market crash, begins the worst depression of the 19th century.As business sags, competition among implement makers for decliningorders turns cutthroat.[http://www.antiquefarming.com/john-deere-history-2.html]
