A trial of a Jelbart oil tractor at Mr C.H. Ensor's White Rock Station
[26 Feb. 1916]


The tractor is shown from the front, showing the automatic stearing gear and patent grippers on the driving wheels. Along the straight stretches no attention had to be paid to either the motor or the plough and only one man needed to work. The Jelbart tractor was built by the Jelbart brothers who originally emigrated from Cornwall, England in the 1800s and established a foundry in Ballarat, Australia
