A series of photographs taken at Parkgate Engineering Works owned by the Murray family who manufactured almost all the forestry ploughs from the 1950s through to the 1980s. This photograph taken by George Taylor in 1968 shows a fully kitted Parkgate beam fitted with two full sets of side coulter discs, mounting for centre cutting disc and hydraulic ram with hose and connector. The old wire cable pulley mounts at this stage have not been discarded.

The PDF shows the side view of the same plough beam CN172
