Jim Connell on his ploughing tractor KYH544 with looks like an International TD 9 hitched onto a Cuthbertson Plough frame with single furrow tine head. He was ploughing at the Barracks part of the Rannoch Forest area and this shot shows clearly the winch rope hoisting system for taking the plough head out of the ground in the days before small hydraulic pumps, spool blocks and pipes on the tractors.

Again, this photo would have been earlier than 1965. Jim had his new Fiat 60 by the time I started with the F.C. in May 1962.

Also note the Carco winch as fitted to all the Internationals at that time.
