- Engineer Harry Ferguson best known for his developments to the tractor for use in farming also built his own aeroplane.
John S Moore of the Ulster Folk Museum tells the story of how Harry Ferguson built his own plane and took flight for the first time in 1909.
He just hopped over a hedge and landed in the next field somewhere like 165 feet away from where he had taken off.
His inventive mind later focused on agricultural machinery and in 1935 his new invention meant that implements could be attached to the back of a tractor.
Lisburn Councillor Alderman Charles Poots recalls his father buying one of Harry Ferguson’s creations and how people came from near and far to see his ploughing invention in operation.
Harry Ferguson spent twenty years working on the tractor’s hydraulic system. Charles Poots plans to have Lisburn Council erect a plaque at the Ferguson farm to mark Harry’s achievements.
The Ferguson tractor is now part of the Ulster Folk Museum’s plans for a major exhibition next year.
John S Moore explains how Harry Ferguson became involved with the Ford organisation and ended up taking them to court for four million pounds after they started manufacturing his patent without his name or consent.

That's my great great Uncle Harry! I am the eldest grandchild of JB Ferguson Jr. (Harry's nephew) We hope to bring our family to visit our family's homestead later this spring :)
Think that aeroplane is in the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum.
Just noticed, that must be Edwin Poots (DUP) Father!
Copped the resemblance myself when i heard the name Poots. Wonder does he think the `flat earth` began 6,000 years ago too !
Yes
@@edwinpoots8717 Thanks Edwin!
@Martin McDonald the bible refers to ice caps behemoth which was a dinosaur and reference s the East engine as far from the west when referring to an infinite distance . That makes clear in biblical teaching that the earth was not in fact flat. Perhaps if you read it you would realise how relevant a d factual it actually.
Very interesting…….🇺🇸

Well Done Harry Ferguson.
However Now Ireland needs some Green Machines Invented.

So Many Possibilities Now.
