Ferguson Traktoren: Bücher - Geschichte und Modelle

Ferguson TE-20 Tractor

In 1917, Harry Ferguson developed a method of attaching a wheelless plough to a tractor to reduce the dangers of the machine overturning. By 1925, the plough was in production in the USA and Ferguson set about developing equipment that would effectively integrate the implement and the tractor.
Ferguson teamed up with David Brown to produce the Ferguson-Brown Type A but sales did not meet Harry's expectations.

Following a demonstration of the Ferguson-Brown tractor to Henry Ford, agreement was reached with the Ford Motor Company in the USA to build an improved version of the tractor there. It was launched in 1939 as the Ford-Ferguson 9N.

When Ford terminated this arrangement Ferguson entered an agreement with the Standard Motor Company to bring production of what was now described as the Ferguson TE-20 to Britain. The first were built in 1946 and over the next ten years more than 793,000 examplers were produced in Britain, France and the USA.
With its revolutionary three-point hydraulic linkage, Ferguson had always seen his tractor as part of a complete farming system and by the time the TE-20 was superseded by the FE-35 in 1956, there were more than 100 Ferguson implements designed specifically to couple to the tractor.

This is an enlarged and expanded edition, with many new pictures of the comprehensive history of the TE-20 and the Ferguson System which helped to mechanise and revolutionise farming across the world.
Today, with classic tractors a thriving hobby, few machines are more sought after than the TE-20. The book is also a reliable reference guide to finding, restoring and operating the 'little grey Fergie' some 75 years since the first example was produced.

The Ferguson Tractor Story

The little grey Fergie is Britain's best-loved tractor, the light user-friendly machine that finally replaced the horse on farms. The appeal of the Fergie lay in its lightness and utility, and also in the system of mechanized farming of which it was a part.

This highly illustrated account covers the full history of Harry Ferguson's tractor products from his pioneering work before the 1930s to the merger with Massey in 1957. The author has had access to fresh archive material and has interviewed many of the surviving men who were associated with Ferguson.
Throughout the book, reference is made to the implements which lay at the heart of the Ferguson system.

Ferguson TE20 in Detail

One of the world's best-loved farm tractors, the Ferguson T20 was built in huge numbers across the world. Harry Ferguson was a remarkable inventor and a man of vision and he is best remembered for the small unobtrusive grey tractor that bears his name. Launched in the 1940s, it rendered its competitors obsolete and provided farmers worldwide with a tool that could meet almost all their requirements.

This book charts its development and evolution, including the US- and French-built models, special purpose versions and industrial types. Over 500,000 Ferguson T2s were sold all over the world. It replaced the horse on many post-war farms.

This book, by a renowned expert of the marque, includes many unpublished facts and photographs. It contains an extensive study of the extraordinary range of implements available, with additional information on tractor options and accessories.

Implements and farm equipment made for Fergusons are also covered.

Tracteur Ferguson TE-20, TO-20, TO-30, TO-35, FF-30

En 1917, Harry Ferguson invente un système d'attache directe de charrue portée (dépourvue de roues) à un tracteur de façon à supprimer le risque de retournement. En 1925, sa charrue est en production aux Etats-Unis et Ferguson se consacre alors au développement d'un tracteur comprenant un système hydraulique d'attache et de relevage qui intègre le tracteur et l'outil.

Après l'échec des partenariats envisagés avec David Brown au Royaume-Uni et Ford aux Etats-Unis, Ferguson et la Standard Motor Company lancent la production du modèle désigné TE-20 en Angleterre.
Au cours des dix années suivantes,793 000 exemplaires de cette machine emblématique seront produits en Grande-Bretagne, en France et aux Etats- Unis.
Avec son relevage hydraulique trois points, Ferguson a conçu son tracteur comme un ensemble complet et intégré de machines de culture et, pendant la vie du TE-20, plus de 200 outils Ferguson seront conçus en fonction de ce modèle.

Cet ouvrage, illustré par de nombreuses images d'archives et de photos de tracteurs restaurés, décrit le développement du TE- 20 de Ferguson et du Système Ferguson et raconte la passionnante histoire de cette machine d'apparence modeste qui a mécanisé et révolutionné l'agriculture dans le monde entier.
