Tildesleys built these rigs for the agricultural contractors who travelled from farm to farm. This tractor is a Model N Land Utility, new in November 1939. Its got the faster 3rd gear for road travel, rear view mirror, under slung muffler, and generator to power the lights.
The plough is a Cockshutt #10, imported into Britain by the famous Lister gas engine company. Oliver & Cockshutt ploughs were very highly rated here compared to British built Ransomes.

The trailer has lockable front box to store spares like shares, oil & grease & gas [for starting the tractor]. The barrel holds the Vaporising Oil; note the springs on the trailer axle.
