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.
Well this was just one of the keepers from the wonderful morning of September 27, 2021 at Fergusons Trestle west of Antonito, Colorado. Here Denver & Rio Grande 168 rolls across with that fiery sky backdrop, that without these wonderful clouds would have been just another - ho-hum standard sunrise silouette. I am pretty sure most on Pete Lerro's charter would have been happy to return to Antonito and head out for a nice breakfast, as we all knew, that we could not out do this "dawn on fire" scene the rest of the day.
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!

J'appuie sur le starter

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.
A tribe of these but this was the only male in full colour and he is a beauty.

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."

Photographed the 1955 Ferguson TE20 on display at a private farming implement museum in Black River Matheson in Taylor Township in Northeastern Ontario Canada.
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.
