Mounted tine on D4 Caterpillar working on hard stony ground in Dalmacallan Forest in 1952. This was one of the early prototype mounted tines and the different mounting position for the hydraulic ram to tighten up and lift the plough should be noted. This system was not as neat as the system developed for the TD 9 tractors but may have been a stage on the way.

Does anyone recognise the driver and any comments on the machines?
