Summary
Publicity flyer advertising the Sunray Disc Plough which emphasizes its strength and suitability for farming conditions in Australia. The flyer explains that "with this plough, there is no need to wait for the rain before ploughing; it is guaranteed to plough the hardest soil." The leaflet also states that the plough can penetrate and turn over soil when it is baked stone dry and almost brick hard, and is therefore largely used for fallowing. It is described as working successfully where a mouldboard plough is useless and doing surprisingly well in ti-tree, grass tree, or in tussocks. It is equipped with both hand and team steering gear. It contains a photograph illustrating the product.
