Période

1969-1970

Canada

The manufacturer of this snowmobile, Massey Ferguson, is a major agricultural equipment manufacturer that was based in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, before it was purchased by AGCO. The company was formed by a merger of Massey Harris and the Ferguson Company farm machinery manufacturer in 1953, creating the company Massey Harris Ferguson. However, in 1958, the name was shortened for the first time to coin the brand Massey Ferguson. Starting in 1969, Massey Ferguson began producing a line of snowmobiles by the name 'Ski Whiz'. "Styled and hued after the company's very successful line of farm tractors, and propelled by an industry-first internal drive track, Ski Whiz sled were sold predominantly through a well-developed network of rural dealers and back by Massey's established parts and service operations.The company thought its snow machine would be a solid hit. But by the time Massey had a couple of seasons under its belt, the company understood that it had to add some style and sizzle to its heavy, homely, under-performing snow tractor or it was not going to succeed. So for the 1973 season the Ski Whiz was redisgned. Sales jumped about 60 percent for the redesigned Ski Whiz, but success was fleeting." (ref.3) The snowmobile line was discontinued in 1977, due to a deline in sales.
