The photographs are courtesy of Donnie Stirling, Tomich, who was a ploughing tractor driver for a number of years. Photographs provide with help from Sandra Reid.

Deep draining plough badly bogged in deep soft. Jocky Banks is out of his machine and checking where the winch rope is attached and how pull it so that the plough hitch emerges from the peat to enable a winch rope to be attached to it.

The A837 road heading for Ledmore Junction can just be made out by a darker line in the middle distance. The rising hills of Ben More Assynt are in the back ground.
