Harry Ferguson's ideas did not go past the lower acre, mixed farmer. Fergs and the little fords were all right, but their fuel consumption was outrageous, Standard engines usually needed overhauls every 1000 hours, Fords wouldn't start when they were hot and neither one of them would pull a hen off her nest on a straight drawbar pull, they had to have all the hydraulic toys. I know at least three instances where Fergusons and Fords were demonstrated and potential buyers said get'em outa here. Two of those bought Masseys and one bought an Oliver. Another outfit was feeding turkeys and pulling a three ton auger box and a Ferguson wouldn't do it. A Massey Mustang was brought in and stayed for twenty five years.
The real Masseys were great tractors, but everybody listened to Harry.
