Walsh and Clark Ploughing Engine CF6537
Walsh & Clark Ploughing Engine, regn. CF6537. Powered by a two-cylinder internal combustion paraffin engine, the Walsh & Clark ploughing engine, operated in pairs to pull a reversible plough across the field to be ploughed, in similar fashion to the contemporary steam ploughing engines. Developing 25-30 hp, it represented a step toward the modern diesel engined tractor, but was soon overshadowed by paraffin, oil, petrol and diesel powered tractors ploughing directly.. Date: 1970s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Walsh & Clark Ploughing Engine, registration number CF6537, in action during the 1970s. Powered by a two-cylinder internal combustion paraffin engine, this heavy agricultural machine represented a step towards modern tractor technology. Operated in pairs, the ploughing engine pulled a reversible plough across the field, similar to contemporary steam ploughing engines. Developing 25-30 horsepower, it was an alternative to steam engines, but was soon overshadowed by paraffin, oil, petrol, and diesel-powered tractors that ploughed directly. The Walsh & Clark Ploughing Engine, with its paraffin engine, was a transitional technology that bridged the gap between steam and diesel-engined tractors. Its use was not limited to commercial farming operations but was also employed by smaller farmers and rural landowners for their agricultural needs. This image offers a glimpse into the evolution of farming machinery and transportation technology during the 1970s.
