Another, a period photograph of a traction engine used for ploughing, possibly also a Fowler? |

Very nice! The old photo shows indeed a Fowler Ploughing Engine. Looks like a machine from the 1920s with a 22 n.h.p. engine like this one: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/pictures/2007/holcot/DSC_1126.JPG |
