Ferguson

Harry Ferguson began developing linkage systems to connect his plow to his Fordson tractor around 1920. Harry Ferguson was located at Evansville, Indiana, at one time; an earlv trademark indicates that the name was applied to plows as early as 1911. Ferguson-Sherman, Inc., was at Evansville, Indiana, subsequently. The firm then moved to Dearborn, Michigan.

history

In 1925 Ferguson contracted a deal with the Sherman Brothers of Evansville, Ill. to manufacture his plow design for use on a Fordson tractor. Production came to an end in 1928 when Fordson tractors were discontinued in the United States. Ferguson would go on to provide his own “three-point-hitch” system on his first tractor designed from David Brown Tractors. In 1938 Ferguson presented his design to Henry Ford. Henry Ford and Ferguson struck a deal and in 1939 the Ford 9N was introduced with Ferguson’s three-point-hitch. Ferguson did not have a lot of success and later returned to England where he started producing tractors. Ferguson was most known for his “TO” line but is did not take off like the Ford 8N and 9N. He would go on to merge with Massey-Harris in 1953 and formed Massey-Ferguson.
