Stump Jump Crescent	Stump Jump Plough	Australian Invention
Designed by brothers Richard and Clarence Smith of Yorke Peninsula, the Stump Jump Plough allowed farmers to cultivate land without removing rocks and stumps.  The Stump Jump Plough revolutionised farming worldwide.
Widespread land clearing in the 1860s and 1870s meant a vast number of mallee stumps were left in the ground posing an expensive problem to farmers wishing to plough their land. The Stump Jump Plough was designed to jump over stumps and rocks, therefore protecting machinery and avoiding the cost of stump removal.
