MASSIVE machines will be ploughing the fields for Harvest together for the first time in more than 60 years this weekend.
Steam engine fans are expected to be out in force on Sunday when a pair of Fowler AA7 ploughing engines rev into action at Old Hall Farm in Bouth.
Alex Sharphouse, proprietor of the 19th century historic working farm near Ulverston, has restored the ploughing engines, 15563 and 15564, and is looking forward to seeing them in action in the fields.
He said: "They have not been run together for 60 years. Nobody has seen it before in this generation. We've had lots of people say they'd like to see that.
"We need to have two engines as they always work as a pair.
"They should be working all day Sunday."
The pair of historic machines were on display at Cumbria Steam Gathering at Cark Airfield, near Flookburgh, earlier in the year but this will be the first time they are used to plough fields in more than six decades.
