Trusadh: Am Fergie beag Glas / The Little Grey Fergie
Monday 8th February 2010

The Ferguson TE20 has been an iconic part of world farming for over 70 years. Fondly nicknamed as the "Grey Fergie", the TE20 was the inspiration and invention of Irish inventor Harry Ferguson, the son of an Irish farmer, who was tired of the heavy, cumbersome work of the horse drawn plough.
But what do we really know of Harry Ferguson and why has the Grey Fergie become the much loved icon that it is and how, after so many years, is it still used daily on farms and crofts around the world? Allan Campbell takes us on a journey to find out.
