Date Added: 25 January 2014 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1961 Picture No: 2298

Some images taken by P J O’Hare in 1962 of Glenamoy Experimental Station in Co. Mayo showing the Glenamoy subterranean drainage plough from the details of which a similar model was made in Scotland by Clark of Parkgate for use in some wet sites in Scotland.

The photographs show the plough up on its hydraulic linkage fixed to the rear of an unknown tractor type with extended tracks and also some views of the extruded peat ribbon or lumps, the surface of the ground after drainage work has completed.
