Glenamoy Drainage ploughs at Co. Mayo, Eire
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 another version where the extruded peat is pulverised by rotating teeth of a rotor driven by the PTO shaft. No reason given for pulverising the peat ribbon.
