Summary[edit]

Description
English: Balance plough at the Great Dorset. A balance plough glides down hill being pulled along by a cable winding onto a steam traction engine at the bottom of the hill whilst the winding engine at the top of the hill is feeding out. When the end of the run is reached the plough operator re aligns for the next pass and re balances the plough for the opposite way. A toot on the whistle from the nearest engine and the cable slack is taken up and the engine at the other end of the field starts winding. A high degree of trust and skill is required because wire ropes under tension are not very forgiving.
