Ferguson-Brown Model A tractor (produced 1936–1939) Massey Ferguson Tractor. The Ferguson-Brown Company was a British agricultural machinery manufacturing company formed by Harry Ferguson in partnership with David Brown. Ferguson-Brown produced the Model A Ferguson-Brown tractor incorporating a Ferguson-designed hydraulic three-point linkage ...
Ferguson and his colleagues developed several innovations to this device (e.g., the hydraulic lift and depth control) which made the system workable, effective, and desirable. In 1938, after almost two decades of trying to sell Henry Ford on using Ferguson's system on tractors mass-produced by Ford, Ferguson finally convinced Ford.
The Ford N-series tractors were a line of farm tractors produced by the Ford Motor Company between 1939 and 1952, spanning the 9N, 2N, and 8N models. [1]The 9N was the first American-made production-model tractor to incorporate Harry Ferguson's three-point hitch system, a design still used on most modern tractors today.
The sale encompassed all construction equipment from Massey. It was then purchased by Case Corporation in 1997. [28] In 1994, Massey Ferguson's worldwide holdings were purchased by the United States–based AGCO Corporation for US$328 million in cash and $18 million in stock. [29] [30]
It marked a major advance in tractor design, distinguished by light weight, small size, manoeuvrability and versatility. The TE20 popularised Harry Ferguson's invention of the hydraulic three-point hitch system around the world, and the system quickly became an international standard for tractors of all makes and sizes that has remained to this ...
Henry George Ferguson (4 November 1884 – 25 October 1960) was a British mechanic and inventor who is noted for his role in the development of the modern agricultural tractor and its three point linkage system, for being the first person in Ireland to build and fly his own aeroplane, and for developing the first four-wheel drive Formula One car, the Ferguson P99.
It is a fully mechanical version with a depth wheel (a small wheel that sets the plow depth). By 1926, Ferguson and colleagues had developed and patented the modern hydraulic three-point hitch. Ferguson sold his hitches and implements during the 1920s and 1930s and worked with David Brown to produce Ferguson-brand tractors. In 1938 Ferguson ...
The Ford N-series tractor helped revolutionize modern mechanized agriculture with its Ferguson three point hitch. A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery such as that used in agriculture, mining or construction.
