Photograph at Tullieallan Nursery showing the Gunn lifter attached to a Ferguson 20 tractor (grey Fergie).
The Gunn Lifter could be used either;
1.To loosen the transplants for easy hand lifting or
2. To undercut transplant roots by adjusting the angle and depth of the large underground cross blade.

Normally for lifting the plants tines were bolted to the back edge of the blade then removed for under cutting.

The tractor is the American made Ford Ferguson which came before the Ferguson 20's.The distinctive rear wheels would only fit the large diameter Ford hub
