Series of views of scale model of forestry plough made by David Ross who was a Forestry Commission forester. See details in Andy Neustein’s History of Plough Development in British Forestry. David Ross's plough was never manufactured but many of his ideas were incorporated into ploughs made by Cuthbertson etc.

His first version appears to have been made about 1942 but this may be a later version made some years after. Can anyone provide details?

See PDF for more views. Note the second spare head which appears to divide the furrow into two.
