The Ferguson TE20, affectionately known as the "Little Grey Fergie," is an iconic agricultural tractor designed by Harry Ferguson and built in Coventry, England, between 1946 and 1956. Its revolutionary three-point hydraulic hitch system transformed modern farming by balancing implements and preventing tipping.
A knackered Ferguson tractor in Whangamomona. The tyres look good enough to be revived with new tubes, and some TLC for the motor and running gear should produce a workable tractor, ideal for a small holding.
Not sure what the big bolt on the ground is for, but I can see why one might keep it handy - you just never know when it might be useful!

Je n'ai besoin de personne
En Massey Ferguson
Je n'reconnais plus personne
En Massey Ferguson
J'appuie sur le starter
Et voici que je quitte la terre
J'irai peut-être au Paradis
Mais dans un train d'enfer
I believe this is a Ferguson TE-20 tractor. Seen at the Southlands area, Boundary Bay, Tsawwassen, B.C.
I just could not resist capturing this venerable old Massey Ferguson tractor parked up in the pictuesque surroundings of Naves in the south of France.

We had lunch with friends yesterday now that our state travel restrictions have been lifted and then stayed overnight with 2 of those friends. A prolific birders garden.
Over the years these have gone from occasional visitors to permanent residents. Always lovely to see.
At the top of this hill is a world away from the hubub of activity below. It is a place where one can go to escape the noise of the crowds. In his book "Pleasant Valley," Louis Bromfield said:
"On top of the Ferguson Place you have solitude in the midst of beauty and plenty. There on the hilltop you feel remote from cities and strife and mankind itself; yet close at hand down at the far end of the damp green tunnel you come out again into the world."

Rio Grande Southern 20 leads an extra mixed freight over Ferguson Trestle, named after the man that was hanged off of it, as the sun peaks over part of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the far distance. 9-5-21
A strangely barren and warm January day replaced a potentially vicious chill and knee deep snow fest with an unexpected great set of portraits, long over due, with Lindsay Ferguson.
A vintage grey 1951 Ferguson TE20 farm tractor sits neglected waiting for restoration on rural property in North Yorkshire, U.K. Although in rough shape, there have been far worse examples restored to former glory. Vintage and classic tractors are very popular restoration candidates, and most models are said to be generally easier to restore than most cars. I have spotted many old tractors like this Ferguson on my travels, in varying states of disrepair. Black sticker six-character registration; “JWF 661” refers to a circa 1950-’52 Yorkshire registration, so this tractor would likely have been in this region since new. Appears to have been re-registered for the road in 1983.
The Ferguson tractors were famous for the revolutionary “Ferguson System” safety innovation back in their day. I also know of a couple of examples very similar to this one still in everyday use.
RHS Wisley
RHS Wisley was founded by George Ferguson Wilson, a Victorian businessman in 1878, he made it his ambition to make difficult plants thrive in English conditions. So he created The Oakwood Experimental Garden. This was a 60 acre plot in total, of which part became the garden. Unfortunately he died in 1902 and the whole site was purchased by Sir Thomas Hanbury. Sir Thomas also owned the famous ‘Giardini Botanici Hanbury, at Mortola in Italy, close to the French border. He gave both properties to the RHS in and around 1903, just four years before his death in 1907.
The main laboratory for scientific research was opened in 1907 but this building proved to be inadequate so major improvements were made and the exterior was rebuilt during the First World War. In 1985 it was designated a Grade II Listed building.
This garden now covers 240 acres in which are housed a large glasshouse for tropical, temperate and arid climates, formal and informal gardens, an arboretum, Alpine Houses, Rock garden, Pinetum, a Wild garden and a Walled garden plus many more features.
This is another place worth while visiting, especially, if like me, you’re a member of the RHS.
