Herb Christie pulling his 30 Ferguson at the New Market, IA Antique Tractor pull Saturday August 1, 2015. The tractor was painted by Dan Mackey of DKM's Auto Body.
Tremendous power take off tractor but woefully lacking when it came to heavy tillage work. That's why quite a few farmers in my area would pair a TO30 or 35 with a Farmall M.
so suprised it was even able to do that, they were the most useless drawbar tractor ever as it was all about the hydraulics,but of course it did bring us the ferguson trailer which set a standard here in uk( axel on the arse end or at least very near) We had to water ballast the rear wheels and somtimes add bags of sand to the linkage drawbar( with the aid of a coulpe pf short boards) to aid traction for jobs like towing the binder.
Yes !!! The old boy has a lot of strength and continues to spin his tires. I'm in Brazil. I'm thinking about restoring a T30 that I found in pieces.
Nicely done
