The LP18 Grav Plow is actually a contragrav rotary tiller, but on most

consists of an open seat mounted on top of the narrow engine pack and an

This one really is science fiction......
Plows need traction... Kinda like a Grav powered bulldozer. Not efficient at
all.
Now, as a no-till device it works fine
I don't see why it needs traction. As long as it can provide equal
forward thrust as a "traction" tractor it should be able to do the same
work.
It could also anchor or pull itself on the ground with one set of blades
while plowing/tilling/cultivating.
