Tom and Elsie Bremner in the stack yard of No 3 Forest Worker Holding standing in front of a partially built corn rick. At that time the ground must have been well worked and a great deal of effort put into cultivating small areas of corn and grass. Can any one say what machinery and tractors did each FWH have?

Note the shed on the right had side with ladders leaning against it. This was valued at £15 in 1974 as shown in list in the PDF attached to this image.

The PDF shows the valuation in April 1974 signed by Mr N Tewnion of the handing over items on FWH No 3 when Tom Bremner gave up tenancy of the Forest Worker Holding. The total valuation is the sum of £105 estimated by Aberdeen and Northern Marts Limited, Huntly (Name of valuation firm provided on the 2nd sheet).

The tractors I remember were a Fordson model N I think, then a David Brown Cropmaster and the last one was an Allis Chalmers Model B all petrol/paraffin , the ploughing was latterly done by a contractor Sandy Simpson with a Fordson Dexta . Comment left on 04 October 2021 at 15:21 by Mike Bremner
