Trial of light alloy plough mounted on three point linkage of a Caterpillar? Tractor on Moss Morran, Blairadam Forest. The plough is making a very smooth cut in the soft deep peat and turning out a well formed turf for planting. Note how the plough depth and stability is regulated by a large side skid.
