Scottish built version (at Parkgate) of the Irish Glenamoy tunnel plough mounted via Ede Linkage onto a wide extended tracked Bogmaster Fordson County Tractor and ready to start experimental draining/ploughing work on Flanders Moss, Loch Ard Forest in experiment 10. The photographs show a well built plough, the beautifully engineered Ede Linkage with its double acting hydraulic ram about to start operations in the drain cut previously by a Priestman Cub drag line excavator.
