Forty Years with Ford Tractors

BKS SB

David Pearson spent more than four
decades working for Ford’s tractor
business, starting on the production
line at the maker’s Dagenham factory
before moving to the Basildon tractor
plant opened in 1964. He went on to
become the maker’s UK sales manager,
and earned a reputation among farmers
and dealers as the man who knew all
there was to know about Ford tractors.
Along the way, he was involved in the
development of some of the most famous
machines to bear the blue livery, from
the Dexta to the 7000, and the FW
articulated tractors to the 7810.

Edited by agricultural journalist
Martin Rickatson, Forty Years with Ford
Tractors builds on a series of
recollections which originally featured
in Classic Tractor magazine, and
includes additional material to tell
David’s fascinating story in full. It
includes a comprehensive selection of
black-and-white and colour photographs,
many of which have never before been
published and will be of interest to
all Ford fans and tractor fans more
generally.
