A series of great images of a TD9 (Registration JHT770) tractor with a mounted hydraulic tine on the rear and a front frame with self powered ploughing disc on the front. Quite an unusual combination but assume the disc was for use among old stumps which would have trapped the plough head.

Rear mounted plough on TD 9 in raised position. Shut off valve allows front or rear plough to be used. Note the elegant plough beam lifting solution by the extension of the ram shaft.

Can anyone name the driver?
