The Caterpillar D6 Reg No GFS132T is pulling a special wide carriage with a single furrow plough attached. This frame appears as though it had been modified from one that was previously used to pull two plough heads for complete ploughing or one plough head and a ripper bar for sub-soiling.

In this case the plough head with deep tine and relatively shallow mould board has been set far over to the right to allow the tractor to run clear of the previously overturned furrows in this complete ploughing Experiment (iii) CS. It seems to have done an excellent job as can be seen in the PDF.
Can anyone name the driver?
