Période

1936

Canada

Harry Ferguson was an English inventor. He patented the three-point hitch in 1928 and entered a partnership with David Brown to manufacture the Ferguson-Brown Model A tractor in 1935. The tractor was produced between 1936 and 1939. Ferguson went on to work with Henry Ford, but split with Ford in 1947. In 1953, Ferguson merged with Massey-Harris Co. to form Massey-Ferguson, an international manufacturer of farm equipment.

Fonction

The tractor is a motorized vehicle used to pull and actuate other vehicles or implements that are not power-driven. Tractors are primarily designed for agricultural work: for cultivation, spraying, and harvesting operations. The first tractors, developed in the mid-nineteenth century, were steam-powered and were not very mobile: their main purpose was to power threshers and other equipment. The development of gas-engines in the late 19th century, and their integration into tractors, gave the machines more mobility and flexibility. Robert C. Williams writes in "Fordson, Farmall, and Poppin' Johnny: A history of the farm tractor and its impact on America" (1987) that "Of all the farm implements, the tractor has had the greatest impact on rural life...In one generation between 1920 and 1950, most farms in the United States changed from dependence on draft animals to dependence on mechanical power."

Technique

The Ferguson-Brown tractor was the first tractor to feature a hydraulic-link system, an innovation that revolutionized tractor design. The Ferguson three-point linkage allowed tractor operators to attach implements and control them through a hydraulics system. The linkage made implements easier to use, but also made tractor operation safer by improving traction and reducing the risk of tractor rearing or bucking.
