Ty'n Llan Farm

Mechanisation had come to this north Wales farm by the mid-1960s in the form of a contraption for lifting bales high on the stack and a wood saw driven by a band attached to the tractor. The sawing operation would be unlikely to satisfy health and safety requirements nowadays. Of interest are the two classic tractors: a Fordson Major, which would have been relatively new at the time, and an older David Brown Cropmaster behind.
