Hanomag Drott operated by George Henderson has just slipped over the edge of the new road formation and awaiting a pull out. The location is Rannoch Moor Forest.
In the back ground is some single furrow tine ploughing on hard stoney ground and possibly the top of a ploughing tractor cab sitting in a small valley.

I think that you will find that this is not a Hanomag drott but an International BTD8 with ripper. I was mobile mechanic for Rannoch area till 1970 and there were no Hanomags in that time.
