Probably taken in Parkgate Engineering Workshops where this new Forestry Commission plough has been fitted to the tractor with the latest heavy plough double pivot mounting mechanism. The plough beam obviously lifts up and down on one pivot but it also swings left and right to allow the plough head to pass immovable rock or other obstacles when ploughing. The double springs dampen this movement and also keep the plough in correct line behind tractor when lifted.
