Ploughing The Seagulls are having a feast behind this plough.  The tractor has a box on the front to act as a counter balance to the weight of the plough and the soil. Usually the front of the tractor has weights fixed to it but if the tractor if used for other non cultivation jobs most of the time these weights are discarded and other things are used. It is also possible that the tractor driver was gathering rocks from the land while ploughing.
