Cuthbertson Buffalo tractor and draining plough with wheel extensions crossing some difficult looking peat next to what could have been a place where a machine had been debogged. In this view the plough head has been lifted and the weight has pressed the large running wheel deep into the soft peat causing it to sledge along. A close up view of the hydraulic ram and plough rope under tension.
