Drain formation and cleaning with the County Lincol adaption to a short County tractor. The full depth drain was made in several passes. Very innovative set up but required two operators one on tractor and other as the Lincol operator. Possibly not as expensive as it first appears as banksmen would have had to be employed in lone working situations.
The cutting teeth are not seen clearly or the belt system supporting them but could be the weak point and not built to deal with large stones?
