Heavy load dropping

At the beginning of the Test Pilots video (http://www.pprune.org/military-aviation/369246-fighter-pilot-bbc-1981-merged-again-5.html#post9582957)
there is a sequence about a C-130 dropping a 30,000 lb tractor.

Besides the main parachutes, there is a smaller one. What was that for?
