Ferguson-Sherman, Inc.

2009-08-04T13:46:00.000-07:00

Ferguson-Sherman, Inc. was in Evansville, Indiana and founded in 1925. They
apparently are the ones who sold the "Duplex" hitch for Fordson tractors. I am
wondering if this manual covers the plow for the "Duplex".

Manual No.: 3543 "Directions For The Ferguson Plow"

Carrara Agritalia MF 3600 Series

2009-07-18T15:18:00.001-07:00

This link is partially in English. It talks about Carrara Agritalia designing
and manufacturing the MF3600 series tractors in Rovigo, Italy. The article did
not mention, that I could read, whether they are also painting this series with
Challenger or Agco paint.

It does mention that MF lost a lot of market share in Italy when Landini was
sold off.

They did use one MF design feature, the electro-hydraulically shifted
independent PTO.

Massey Ferguson 1970s

2009-06-28T14:59:00.001-07:00

The following year, 1974, Massey Ferguson acquired the Hanomag construction machinery division of Rheinstahl A.G., West Germany. This meant that MF’s floor space for manufacturing industrial and construction machinery was increased by 170%.

The Ford Ferguson 9N was really the brainchild of Harry Ferguson and is certainly part of the evolution.

Hesston

2008-06-01T11:48:00.000-07:00

I sat next to a Danish Engineer on a plane to Wichita recently. He was going on to Agco Hesston. He said he works for a company in
Denmark that was acquired by Agco about 2 years after Agco acquired Massey Ferguson.

This company in the Jutland area of Denmark designs and manufactures combines that end up with a number of brand names including
Massey Ferguson and Hesston on them.

Agco has forced the Danish subsidiary to use combination inch and metric fasteners on the newer products. They had been all metric.

If Harry Ferguson had stayed with Massey Ferguson a while longer, he could have pushed them into 4 wheel drive earlier. They would have then had a huge adbantage.
