Local Tuscan ploughs have a horizontal ploughshare and are composite tools with all the basic parts: plough stock (in oak, olive, apricot, cherry, mulberry), plough-beam (elm, chestnut), handle (single or double in chestnut, ilex, elm, oak or almond), handgrip, (elm), double yoke (ash, walnut, service tree, cherry, mulberry, elm, olive).

The yoke is connected by a ring to the front beam and has the typical hole for the ropes at the centre and the ends. The presence of a depth regulator is widespread, normally consisting of a sort of metal screw or sometimes a wooden peg. Nose rings, horseshoes, muzzle, stockwhip and cattle prod are widespread.
