This is an amazing story of how an engineer looked at the way a machine worked and saw a better way, a way that could and did save lives.
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.
