Ferguson
Tractor Specifications
The TE range of Ferguson tractors was introduced in England in 1946, marking the culmination of 30 years of development of the Ferguson System, including the innovative three-point hitch. Harry Ferguson's work began during World War I and led to several partnerships and developments, resulting in the influential Ferguson Black tractor and later collaborations with David Brown and Henry Ford. The Ferguson brand merged with Massey-Harris in 1953 to become Massey-Ferguson, which continues to be used by AGCO today.
Harry Ferguson initially sold Waterloo Boy tractors during World War I and began refining ways to attach implements more effectively, leading to the invention of the three-point hitch. This system integrated the tractor and its implements into a cohesive unit, significantly enhancing farm equipment efficiency. After demonstrating this innovation with the Ferguson Black tractor, Ferguson partnered briefly with David Brown to produce the Ferguson-Brown tractor, then collaborated with Henry Ford to develop tractors incorporating his hitch. This partnership ended in 1947 with a lawsuit, leading Ferguson to work with the Standard Motor Company to produce his own TE range starting in 1946. In 1953, Ferguson merged with Massey-Harris, creating Massey-Ferguson, a brand that remains significant in the agricultural machinery market under AGCO's ownership.
