Harry “The Mad Mechanic” Ferguson, was responsible for the
original Ferguson System of tractor. It was patented in 1926 and is the same
basic design for a modern tractor that is used today.
This Irish genius also
invented his own motor cycle, race car and plane and in 1909 he was the first
Irishman to fly. Originally a bicycle repairman he even built himself the first
ever four-wheeled Formula-One car.
His name lives on in the
Massey Ferguson company.
