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 Donald Thomson in 1976 shows a standard Parkgate plough fitted with double mouldboard deep tine head D60/T90/t. It is not clear from this angle whether the beam was strengthened or had double hydraulic rams fitted.

Note the name on the workshop behind. Can anyone name the crane lorry?
