Nice video; I'm still working a 1959 Massey-Ferguson model 50 petrol. Harry Ferguson was a man of his word, & principal.

Thanks Alan for that informative video,Harry Ferguson was indeed a man ahead of his time,its incredible to think that his inventions and systems are still being used today in the manufacturing of modern day tractors,Whelans MF dealers in Kilrush Co Clare have a lovely little museum (collection) of massey fergusons from one of the first ones ever made right the way through to todays modern masseys

Thanks for a good presentation. Harry Ferguson (born 4th November 1884) stands out as a unique designer of innovative solutions, especially the three-point for tractors which was later adopted by all manufacturers. Ferguson also chose rather unique business models in the form of his collaborations with David Brown and Ford. The gentleman's agreement with Ford cost him quite dearly when Henry Ford the first died in 1947, and Henry Ford the second took over (Edsel Ford died before his father Henry Ford the 1st). But after a four-year-long trial, Ferguson won in 1952, but he only got such a decent compensation. However, it is/was completely new to me how Harry Ferguson died at home in his bathroom on 25th October 1960. 🙂

20:11 That list of Harry Ferguson patents is incredible. Paddy Kielty did a nice documentary on him too that's on KZfaq.

Harry Ferguson’s invention of the three point lifting hitch was one of the major improvements in farm tractor technology . The advantages were better traction with less weight and better maneuvrability of the tractor and its implement . Henry Ford Sr. was a greedy old man that didn't want to reward Ferguson for the real value of the patents.
