(historical) Russian ard (a type of wooden plough with high, horizontal draft-poles and usually two metal-tipped ploughshares, originating in Northern Russia in medieval times and widely used in Russia and nearby countries until the early 20th century).
As stony soil predominates, and as it is necessary in many localities to plough lands cleared of forest, special types of implements have been invented in Russia, namely the sokha and the borona-smyk.
Moreover, the methods of cultivation were suited to either slash and burn or to field tillage with the sokha.
Use sokha when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
