Tine plough and tine ploughing heather and bracken knolls in Glentrool Forest (Glentrool Valley near Stroan Bridge, Caldons Road) for P55 planting.
The tractor is a Fowler registration number JXK103 and FC No 0302 which has appeared in previous images.

The tine plough is still built up from a large ripper tooth to which has been added the land side and mould boards. Unusually there is no disc or knife coulter on the plough.
