Hello Richard,what a fantastic little piece of kit perfect for what your dad loved doig I'm so sorry that he passed away but at least you managed to get a clip of him before he sadly left us but he will watch over you when you are using his great little fergie
Only buy being exposed to this kind of "highly dangerous" machinery, can we make our kids understand the value of common sense and awareness.. Not saying that a 6-8 year old child should be aloud to use the machine, but he needs to see how to do it, without losing a hand or finger..
I have a fergie so I love this. I only ever do slashing with mine. I love how potentially dangerous these machines are because they are from a time when you had to use common sense unlike todays nanny state of guards and stop switches.
This came up today good to watch your Dad Again I recall watching it about 6 yrs ago. Love it watching your Dad & the old Fergie. We use to have one on the farm we sold back in 1953. That was long long ago. They were a hot item. They sure don't make tractors like they use too
When I was a kid in the 80s my Dad was Head of Agriculture at a farming college. I was obsessed with all the tractors, which were a mix of Ford, JDs and MFs... but they also had an ancient grey Fergie - the only thing they used it for was muck scraping, but they kept it working right up to the 90s. First thing I ever drove.
I love fergie's, but your right about keeping the kids away while it's working! Ps I amazed that there are any old farmers still left when you think how dangerous everything they did back then was!
that brings back memories of my grandfather he bought a new Ferguson 20 about fifty years ago they were a nippy tractors in their day do u still have it
