Sheep feeders by Clack Lane A large acreage of Ridge and Furrow land lies by the A14 to the south of Bythorn therefore making good sheep grazing pastures.

A solitary Oak tree in the ridge and furrow Farm land to the south of Bythorn has a good show of the historical ridge and furrow farming system. Next time your passing Bythorn west bound on the A14 look to your left and you'll see it, passengers only please.

Old cultivator beside Clack Lane To the left are a set of Petitt disc harrows that used to be manufactured at Spalding. Excellent tool to create a seed bed for cereal crops but a pig to deal with if they blocked up with wet sticky soil. No hydraulic lifting wheels to drop down. The cultivator on the right looks to be a Ransome's of Ipswich ripper cultivator and may well be from the traction engine era or more likely used with early crawler tractors. Both implements appear to have been "rested" for a few years.

Clack Lane towards Bythorn Before the A14 sliced through the countryside, Clack Lane ran right up to Bythorn when the old A604 trundled through the village. Now access is by a pedestrian, horse and farm machinery bridge slightly to the west. The farm implement is a wide set of harrows in transport mode probably manufactured by Parmiter.
