The Ferguson Tractor Story

The little grey Fergie was the machine that finally replaced the horse on many farms and it became Britain’s best-loved tractor. At the heart of its success lay its unique hydraulic system and three-point linkage – a concept that brought tractors and their equipment together as a unit.

This highly illustrated account covers the full history of Harry Ferguson’s tractor developments from the Belfast plough, through the Ferguson-Brown and Ford Ferguson to the massive production run of the TE-20 at Banner Lane. The story concludes with the days of Massey-Harris-Ferguson and the FE35 tractor. Overseas production, prototypes, variants and industrials are fully covered, as is the use of Ferguson equipment around the world.

In the course of his extensive research, Stuart Gibbard has unearthed much new archive material and has interviewed many of the surviving Ferguson personnel. He has been able to give a fresh insight into the development of the models and accurately chronicle the changing fortunes of the companies involved. The book also looks at Harry Ferguson, the Ferguson System and the implements that made up Ferguson's complete vision of mechanised farming.

Hardback book, 275 x 215 mm, 168 pages, 250 photographs.

The Ford Tractor Story Part1

Stuart Gibbard

Starting with the early experiments that in 1917 led to the Model F at Dearborn, Stuart Gibbard's absorbing text is accompanied by a wealth of photographs, many rare and previously unseen.

His book follows the development of Ford tractors on through the Model N and the E27N to the widely successful Diesel Major and the Dexta.The author's meticulous research provides one of the most detailed accounts ever written about Fordson production in Britain. It covers both Cork and Dagenham, and makes full mention of the personalities involved. One of the outstanding aspects of the book is that many of the little-known prototypes are described and shown for the first time.A major section of the book is devoted to the American tractor line, re-established in 1939 with the 9N built in collaboration with Harry Ferguson.

The book concludes in 1964, just before the introduction of the 'worldwide' 6X range.

Hardback book, 275 x 215 mm, 192 pages, 366 photographs
