Improvements to the Ferguson system such as draft control improved the weight transfer and increased the amount of work the little tractor could do. The weight transfer allowed the light weight tractor to do the work of heavier tractors. The idea behind the Ferguson system was that the weight of the ploughing was transferred to the rear wheels increasing traction. It is the Northern Irish man Harry Ferguson that stamped his mark clearly on the tractor world with the invention of the “Ferguson System” 3 point linkage which is available on the vast majority of tractors available today. The Ferguson TE20 is Genesis in the tractor world.
