Examples of agricultural engines, especially heavy tractors, on the farms of Ray Cottis.
A Triple D Tractor (two tractors linked together for extra power) pulls a cultivator. A rear-mounted reaper cuts peas, which are loaded onto a lorry by mobile elavator. The lorry takes the load to the farm. Shots of wheatfields follow. A Massey Ferguson combine appears in a harvesting sequence. The grain is loaded into a trailer and taken back to the farm. Bales of straw are loaded onto a trailer and taken to be stacked. A portable pump is used to drain the yard. The farmer's son cuts the lawn, a crawler tractor pulls out young trees and bulldozers scrub.
