Hi Lift Snowplough The Cuthbertson Fixed Vee “Hi-Lift” Snowplough was designed and manufactured by James A. Cuthbertson O.B.E. and is one example of the many innovative designs he created during a long engineering career. Born at Skirling on the 23rd April 1907, he was well known and admired for his contribution to the design and manufacture of hill drainage and forestry machinery, peat harvesting equipment, snowploughs, specialised tracked and wheeled vehicles, railway cable laying machinery and for his work in Canada for the “D.E.W.” line defence system. He received his O.B.E. on 1st January 1953 for his contribution to agricultural engineering. James A. Cuthbertson took an active interest in his engineering company in Biggar until his death on the 27th October 1993. This 2/3rds scale version was manufactured by James A. Cuthbertson Ltd in 2002
