The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 44

5.—Particulars of Plant, &c

5.—Particulars of Plant, &c.

The agricultural machinery and implements purchased are to be delivered in good order, or compensation allowed. Most of them are nearly new. They include two 10-horse power and one 8-horse power steam engines, one 12-horse power water-wheel, several new reapers and binders, double and single furrow ploughs, harrows, mowing machines, rollers, blacksmiths' and carpenters' tools, and everything of the kind necessary for carrying on the business of the Company.

There are also two valuable saw mills on forest lands belonging to the Estate, with engines, saw benches, planing, tongueing and grooving machines, tramways, &c., all in thorough working order, and two teams of working bullocks. These Mills have been found of great benefit in supplying timber for all purposes for the use of the estate. The Company will have the right of cutting timber in the Crown forests for a nominal payment.
