Forestry personnel casting a critical eye as Fowler tractor (distinctive track plates) pulls a square frame Cuthbertson frame single furrow plough through some deep peat. The narrow wheels of the plough break through the surface and sink deep into the peat. The Fowler tractor driver is releasing the hitch and also the winch brake and pulling forward to then winch the plough out. Note the Buffalo tractor with mounted plough in distance.

Can any people be named?
