No other information on this photograph. Ploughing is quite shallow possibly because the ground is hard and stony. The tractor must be ploughing on site alone, hence the presence of a ‘banksman’ walking with it.
Note the old style square frame and metal wheels which seem to be giving a bit of a problem as the rims slip into the previously ploughed furrow if the driver goes a fraction too close.
