This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2009-10-12
General Products LP18 Grav Plow v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The LP18 Grav Plow is actually a contragrav rotary tiller, but on most worlds in known space nobody makes such technical distinctions. The LP18 consists of an open seat mounted on top of the narrow engine pack and an 18' axle with rotating tines. By flying, the agricultural machine avoids soil compaction and simplifies maneuvering at the edge of the fields. A simple avionics package helps the operator to keep a tight pattern.
