The credit for making the reversible plough for the first time cannot be given to anyone because many researchers have made improvements in it from time to time. However, according to the data, Reversible Plough was first patented by John Huxtable in 1877. This plough quickly became popular due to its efficiency and usability.

A reversible plough is very easy to use and is similar to a traditional plough. You have to connect it to your tractor and set it manually or through hydraulic controls to achieve the desired depth in the soil. With the end of the field row, you can easily change its direction with the help of its hydraulics.

The reversible plough, like other conventional ploughs, makes the soil fertile, softens and improves soil aeration and compaction. Also, its hydraulic reversible system helps in ploughing more land in less time and also reduces the process of re-assembly to change the direction of a plough.

The price of a reversible plough depends on several factors. For example, if you go to buy a plough from a reputable brand, you will get it at a higher price whereas a local brand provides you this product at a cheaper price. Because there is a difference in quality. Therefore, we can assume the average price of the reversible plough in India to be ₹45,000 to ₹2,00,000.

Reversible plough is useful in softening hard soil, in weed control and in improving the fruiting property of the soil. This plough is most suitable, especially on problem fields like irregular shapes or when frequent turns are required.
