But what I have had to do, was give you just one episode.Helping Dad Dad drove the tractor while I operated the drawn scoop. Then he handled the mouldboard plough (sometimes called a road plough) while I drove the tractor.  The single mouldboard and plough shear was next (behind an adjustable skid plate which gave the depth of cut). Behind that were two iron handles by which the operator held it upright and against the countering effect of the mouldboard. It required strength and a certain skill to be managed in hard ground.Gone Cop can be purchased from Amazon KindleLike a Book in Your Hand?These books can be found at:Cunningham's Newsagency in Charters Towers,Woods News in AyrRhonda's Refits in ToowoombaBoolarong Press Don knows how to tell a good yarn.
