Ferguson on the Farm DVD – Part Two

This DVD shows a wide range of Ferguson equipment, ploughs, cultivators and disc harrows at work. Ferguson provided a complete system of mechanisation and we see many of the rarer implements in action, including the sub soiler, rowcrop thinner, crane, dump skip, winch, corwood saw and hammer mill.

Muck-spreading and bale loading sequences show all the different Ferguson trailers and loaders, illustrating just how extensive the range had become by the 1950s.

Nearly all the implements come from Harold Beer’s collection in North Devon. A range of Ferguson tractors provide the power, including a rare four-wheel-drive conversion. The programme has a full commentary by tractor enthusiast Stuart Gibbard.
