Aspects of the present disclosure relate to dewatering methods, systems, apparatus, and associated components thereof. In one implementation, a plow for a sludge dewatering system includes a blade. The blade includes a leading edge, and a first wing swept downward in a vertical direction and outward in a first horizontal direction relative to the leading edge. The blade also includes a second wing swept downward in the vertical direction and outward in a second horizontal direction relative to the leading edge. The second horizontal direction is opposite of the first horizontal direction.
