The Ferguson System

Well, here it is, I've crossed to the dark side and done a tractor page. There is something about the Ferguson that attracts attention and enthusiasts. The following page is constructed to reproduce the Ferguson advertisement found in 1954 Power Farming Annual. Some of the implements are repeated, all I can say is either Ferguson were pushing particular instruments or their quality control was restricted to their tractors.

The Ferguson System 1954 Advert

Compare the performance of Ferguson against any other tractor on these important points and you will quickly see why more than 35,000 Australian owners tell you Ferguson is by far your best, your most economical and your most useful tractor buy.
FUEL SAVINGS. Ferguson saves fuel because it does not waste power pulling unnecessary weight. The only tractor with automatic draft control -- the greatest weight saving fuel saving feature ever devised.
PERFORMANCE. In fast work, ability to work all types of soil and to handle rugged jobs, Ferguson performance is proved 100% outstanding.
FLEXIBILITY. Ferguson combines economy and manoeuvrability of a small tractor with the power and stamina required for "3 furrow ploughing" performance.
BUILT-IN HYDRAULIC PUMP. Built-in hydraulic mechanism with fast easy 3 point implement linkage, provides fingertip control to raise and lower implements and to regulate working depth.
LONG LIFE QUALITY. The extra strength built into Ferguson keeps on the job always with Low maintenance costs.
