At the GDSF in 2019 we watched the steam ploughing for hours 😎

This fella and his grandson were of particular interest. Great to see those old skills passed down the generations ☺️

Spent my school summer holidays back in 1974 ish down on a farm lake where they were using Two engines and a bucket to dredge a large lake, I think it was Luggs from Billingshurst they did a lovely job way before we had Amphibious 360 machines like C J Gray have. The link below shows Clives home page with some great pictures of his machines.

Love these pictures. One grandfather ran a ploughing set, the other was an ‘ossman. My Dad ploughed his first furrows with Shires before he decided an International starting handle was less scary than spending all day worrying about when the horse’s tail was going to twitch.

friend of mine just outside of Aber had a very big fishing lake dug with two engines, circa '93 in a convenient hollow on his farm .. didn't take 'em long at all !!
