Massey Ferguson

From Harry Ferguson's revolutionary little grey Fergie to the half-million Massey Ferguson 135s that worked farms across three continents, Britain built some of the most important tractors in the world. A guide to the classic and vintage British tractors worth knowing, why they changed farming, and why the survivors are now collected, shown, and restored.

The Massey Ferguson 135 is the most recognisable classic tractor in Britain, over 400,000 built at Coventry from 1964, simple, tough, and still working farms and shows today. Its history, the Perkins and Continental engines, the Multi-Power transmission, what to check when buying, and what a good one is worth.
