ABC of Ferguson System

Let's go back to 1951 and see the correct way to plough, wearing a suit and tie on a Fergie TO-30.

    Love the fact how these types of films present the product from engineering perspective with arrows indicating forces and resistance. Today's product videos are all flashy and dandy without any pedagogical aspect at all. I'm sure there are a bunch of farmers who have no idea how the ferguson system really works.

    This was fascinating. Things that we take for granted in 2022, were revolutionary at one time. I enjoy the simple but straightforward production of this film. It reminds me of the old educational films we had in school. Of course who doesn't like seeing the operator wearing a suit and tie doing field work? Reminds me of Green Acres in the 1960s.

    la veste costume-cravate du démonstrateur de ces époques me fait sourire ; c'est le gentleman-farmer sur un tracteur maniable ,insalissable et sans cambouis ! En France pendant ce temps on ne fabriquait que des VIERZONs où le chauffeur ressemblait plus au cheminot de locomotive avec des gros bras,les mains noires ne serait-ce que pour le démarrage, et faire les manoeuvres, sans parler de sa colonne vertébrale qui ressemblait à des silen-blocks !! le TE20 date de 1946, mais bien avant guerre le F 9N sortait en grande série avec le ""System 3 points'' numéro 9 pour année de sortie 1939, la couleur grise comme la Navy remplace le noir qui reprend le Black-Brown précédent. Des aller et venues entre Ford et( David Brown qui lui n'avait pas compris l'enjeu du tout porté arriere (ferguson A) d'un petit garagiste au génie, mais qui ne voulait pas se faire manger à la soupe Ford petit-fils et devenir indépendant après le 2N , le divorce conduit Ford à perdre le procès en justice, et Harry Ferguson obligé de trouver un partenaire financier s'associer avec un ancien fabricant de bombardiers(de Havilland), pour devenir la Standart Motor Company de Coventry, Angleterre.

    I miss the ole Ferguson tractor. Grandma had one on her farm. We lived next to the farm on a small plot of land. That tractor did it all, from cleaning the barns & loading it into the manure spreader, to baling the hay for the cattle. When Grandma passed that tractor went to my uncle, who restored it fully. I got to drive it occasionally, on his Christmas tree farm. One day I hope to find one similar to that one to acquire.

    Mr. Ferguson was a prolific inventor. He was the first to adapt four wheel drive to the common road car, as well as face cars. His 3 point hitch system was used by Ford after their agreement had lapsed. This ended up to be the largest out of court settlement at the time. Ferguson was a fascinating man.

    First vehicle I learned to drive was a Ferguson, back in the 1970's in Scotland about 8 years old. I pulled a trailer up and down the fields whilst others collected the stones and threw them on the trailer. It was the oldest tractor and the simplest to drive so just about everyone I knew learnt on them back then. Great machines, still practical for smallholdings today. Charlie 🇬🇧

    Some comments. My Grandmother's Grandad was an Englishman. He farmed in Texas wearing what we would call a suit and tie. Just look at some old photos of workplaces. I learned to drive, driving Ford 8n and 9n tractors in the hayfields of East Texas in the mid 1950s. My Uncle worked at a Ford Tractor dealership at that time. When I worked in the shop, I was immersed in Ford tractor literature and talk. My Uncle was so Ford be-sotted that when I bought a GMC truck in 1987 he was mad for weeks. Of course as time went on, I finally learned of the partnership of Ford and Ferguson. As near as I can tell, Ford just stole Ferguson's patents and ideas. Ford was good at that. A boyhood friend said that even when they were doing things, Henry always seemed to be directing instead of doing. Engineers were aware of the forces at play. I have an old textbook for use in Agricultural and Mechanical colleges, published about 1903. It describes the settings, adjustments, and implement choices for farm horse drawn equipment. It shows the forces involved and how to adjust for them.

    I wouldn't say Henry Ford "stole" Fergusons patents, they had the famous "handshake agreement" in which Ferguson was responsible for further development, distribution and sales, Ford was responsible for manufacturing and a sales organization in the US (possibly all NA- not real clear on that). That was all fine and good for 10 yrs or so- till Henry Ford died When his grandson took over the company- his accountants and executives convinced him to break that agreement - and went on using Ferguson's design....

    When I was a little boy of 3-4 years in the mid 50's, every summer was spent on my grandmother and grandfather's farm in Hvedstrup, near Roskilde, Denmark. My grandfather had got a tractor, an amazing machine that could do anything. It was simply the best tractor in the world. At least I was quite sure of that. It was a Ferguson. And now I have found this old movie which documents my claim. All other tractors were subsequently licensed on the Ferguson system, so they could be (almost) just as good. But they did not become a real Ferguson.

    @@MrHansenDenmark so we've gone from "all other tractors" to "farming tractors" and now to "modern agricultural tractors that are used for field work" but you're still defending the claim? I'm no expert on agriculture but Case used something called the Eagle Claw hitch and Allis Chalmers developed their Snap Coupler single-point hitch, just for 2 quick examples. Lots of ag tractors have a drawbar hitch, some only have it, especially those that use drag implements with their own lift cylinders. The uber-famous Big Bud 747s are one extremely well-known example model of these. The Allis Chalmers G is a toolcarrier tractor with no 3 point that was so successful in vegetable fields that it's been copied into modem versions like the Oggun, Kult, Tilmor, and others. I could go on but I don't need to because even a single valid example would've been sufficient to disprove your claim of "all other tractors."

    The TEA 20 coventry, the first tractor of the farm in France , arrived in 1946 before I was born (1950). For children of 10-12 years, the steering wheel was easy to handle, and even with short legs one could press on the pedals with all the weight of the body. For the Farmall M arrived 5 years later, it was necessary to push forward the pedal and it was hard, the release sometimes brutal!.On the other hand, the braking system (drums getting wet) was not very good. The IH was strapped on the reducers: one could block one of the wheels and turn like a top. The fergie never braked despite a tribe of specialists who came to analyze the defect, nobody solved it. 12 years later my father with a very mechanic employee put the tractor on blocks, disassembled the mechanism, to discover that it had simply the cams of disposals in reverse !!!! the vice was discovered. Hats off to the engineers....
