Multiple plows that are connected together and operated simultaneously to plow several furrows at once, increasing farm efficiency.
From 'gang' (a group working together) + 'plow' (a farming tool). The 'gang' concept emerged in Middle English to describe multiple implements joined together, evolving from Old English 'gang' meaning a going or journey.
Gangplows revolutionized agriculture by letting farmers work multiple fields at once—one team plowing what used to take many workers, which is why this farming equipment helped feed growing cities during the Industrial Revolution.
