Overview

A black and white photograph of three men driving tractors with ploughs hitched to the tractors. The tractors all have metal wheels, and two of the ploughs have seats which indicate that the ploughs would have been used with horses.
The wheels of the tractor in the left foreground appear to smooth and the plough is a five disc plough. The man is wearing a hat and white shirt and is clean shaven.
The man driving the tractor in the middle of the picture is also wearing a hat and white shirt. The tractor that he is driving has metal spokes on the back wheels and the plough does not appear to have a seat on it.
The man driving the tractor on the right of the picture is wearing a cap. The tractor that he is driving has metal tracks going over both the front and back wheels (like the tracks on a bulldozer). The plough has a metal seat for a driver on the plough. The photograph is mounted on a pale yellow card.
