EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a significant moment in agricultural history as two Creeping Grip or Bullock tractors undergo tests coupled together at Burton on Trent in June 1915. During the First World War, the need for efficient and reliable farming methods became increasingly important as food production was crucial for the war effort. In response, experiments with new tractor technologies were carried out to improve productivity and reduce the reliance on horses and manpower. The Creeping Grip tractor, also known as the Bullock tractor, was a unique design that utilized a caterpillar track system instead of wheels. This allowed the tractor to move more effectively in muddy conditions, making it an attractive alternative to traditional farming methods. In this image, two of these tractors are joined together, likely for the purpose of testing their combined capabilities. The date, June 1915, marks an important time in the development of these tractors as they were still in their experimental stages. The Great War brought about numerous innovations and advancements, and the testing of these coupled Creeping Grip tractors at Burton on Trent was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination and innovation that drove agricultural progress during the war years. This image is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the significant role agriculture played in supporting the war effort during WW1. It is available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a must-have for anyone with an interest in agricultural history, WW1, or the development of farming technology.
