Debogging Kockums 84-35 at Fort Augustus
Photograph is courtesy of John Ireland, who is currently based at Lochaber Forest District.
Alan MacDonald operating his Kockums not far from the Forest District Office on the flat area next to the River Oich on a very soft boggy site with little brash to keep him above ground.
Here Jackie MacDonald (no relation I believe) a regular ploughing tractor operator has been called in with the Conservancy debogging tractor (Fiat 100 with special extended tracks – extra plates welded on the outside) with powerful mechanical drive winch to assist. The Fiat registration number is MGNL514L.
The PDF shows Alan beside his bogged machine.
