No information on this image and the year is questionable. Possible early version of the Begg Forestry Plough. Note the additional cutting wings on the plough sock and at this stage no soil grip bars on the wheel which has the ratchet plough lifting mechanism. However holes are in place on the rim and would probably added once plough was delivered.
