Harry Ferguson was an engineering genius. His ability to visualise
and build a new system that changed the role of the tractor on the
farm, changed farming around the world. The system in use today is
still the same system he developed, all those years ago and this
book tells how he saved countless farmers lives. We also read how
the design changed the way tractors are used on farms. We hear
about the effect on the 1930's Wall St crash ans the need for the
tractor and how the little grey Fergie saved an Australian town.
The story then tells us about a Danish company that has made the
tractor a media star. Harry Ferguson and his tractor, changed the
world.
