FORD & FORDSON
ON FILM Vol 6
Major Power

Eighty years of Ford tractor history, shown in chronological order, are featured in this new series of DVD programmes. Using original colour and black & white promotional and information films professionally made by the Ford Motor Company over a number of decades, this series brings the story of the Ford tractor back to life!

Ten archive films in volume six illustrates the many uses that Fordson Tractors were adapted to in the 1960's, not only in agriculture but also in industry and construction.

A particularly enterprising farmer modified his existing implements to carry out four jobs in one operation; also we show how Ford structured their tractor demonstrations to potential customers while the combination of the Fordson Super Major and the FR reversible plough is shown as a formidable team. The 500,000 Dagenham built tractor is covered and our last film demonstrates additions to the extensive FR range of implements.

With machines from 1917 up to the 1990s, this series will feature something for everyone interested in Ford tractors and brings a completely new perspective to the machines that helped revolutionise farming the world over.
