Harvesting Demonstration In East Lothian 1950's - Cropmaster, Fordson, Nuffield, Ferguson, Whitsed

This is a nice piece of footage showing various agricultural machinery being demonstrated to what looks like a group of potential buyers or dealers.

Machinery includes tractors by David Brown (Cropmaster), Fordson (Diesel Major), Nuffield, and Ferguson. Harvesters include a Whitsed produced by Root Harvesters Ltd of Peterborough.

The field where at least part of the demonstration takes place has been identified as "Well Park" at Kilduff Farm near North Berwick. This would make sense, as Geo. Henderson Ltd had a branch at Kingston near North Berwick, before relocating to Haddington.

More information is revealed as you watch the video.

I have a lot of great information on this video, thanks to David Wood, Kev Welsh, Borders Vintage Agricultural Association and others...full credits at the end of the video.
