Do They Still Make Plows

It just ran accross my mind. Is anyone still making a "plow"? You know the conventional agricultural moldboard plow. I'm thinking not?
 
Many companies still make large drawn type to small 3 point 1 bottom plows new. The dealers may not have any on their lots and have to order them.

Large switch plows and drawn type:

1 & 2 bottom plows
 
To expand on what was said earlier Deere makes the 3710 trailer plow for large horsepower tractors. I believe it runs 8 bottom and up. Then the 900 series two-way plow. Up till I checked it today they had the 2810 under the build and price section. The 2810 was a 4 to 6 bottom semi-mount that was supposed to have been discontinued before but was not till now. I suppose a dealer could tell you about remaining inventory. After that you have the Canadian manufacturer Salford with semi-mounts and trailer plows for larger tractors. Then you go European with Kuhn or Kverneland with a wide variety of plows and I am sure there are others.
I know a lot of people are down on Deere plows but they will turn a furrow if you absolutely got to have a brand new plow. The issue I have with the imports is they are fickle in the US market. They are aggressive one year then look like they are ready to pull out the next. I think Kuhn is the most stable here in my opinion. Plows are expensive and have a pretty steep depreciation curve to them. Hate to spend 40000 one year and find out they are only worth half that in a couple years. The local dealer used to have Wil-Rich but have not seen any product there for some time and don't see any literature out. Wonder what happened?
