Roadless Traction built these Ploughmaster 6/4 tractors in 1963-65. Based on the Super Major fitted with 90HP 6 cyl diesel Ford truck engine and uprated clutch. The front axle is modified GMC 6x6 US army truck front axle. The axle was mounted to give the same shorter wheelbase of the 4 cyl Ploughmaster to give tighter turning circle and weight of engine gave more traction to the front axle.
