The story of Harry Ferguson, his tractors, implements and hydraulic system
One invention more then any other revolutionised tractors and changed the face of agriculture in the 20th century the three-point linkage and hydraulic lift. It was invented by Irishman Harry Ferguson and became known thereafter as The Ferguson System. The creator and his system are the focus for this enlightening programme.
Presented by Emmerdale and Heartbeat actor Stewart Howson, a self confessed Ferguson fanatic, the programme features not only these wonderful tractors both static and at work, but also over one hundred surperbly restored Ferguson implements. This is without doubt a genuinely comprehensive account and lasting tribute to a man with amazing foresight and brilliance who devised a system that is now an integral part of tractor design in the 21st century the great Harry Ferguson!
