David Phillip Head Forester Lour Estate, Forfar
Photograph courtesy of Leslie Phillip, Perth showing his father extracting some timber using a Ferguson Tractor’s three point linkage system. The cross bar can be lowered and raised and thus able to lift the front of the log off the ground to aid easier haulage. The logs were hauled to the Estate sawmill.
David Phillip worked on the Estate for 42 years where his son Leslie also started the first 7 years of his working life.

note the lights on the back of this tractor, these were used to help with the rear mounted snow plough keeping the estate roads clear day and night, rear wheel chains were also used.
