Ford and Fordson Tractors

The official magazine of the Ford & Fordson Association. Ford & Fordson Tractors magazine covers the early Fordsons to the last of the Fords, and the latest news with New Holland. Each issue of this quality glossy magazine is packed with reader stories, buyers’ guides, news, reports, technical advice and parts for sale. The old Fordson and the Ford that followed were incredibly versatile tractors and were arguably converted by more specialist companies like County, Doe, Roadless and many others. We celebrate all this in our magazine with features on restorations, collections, recollections. Tractor collectors may also find that rare part or tractor for sale in our reader’s free ads.

PICTURE THE PAST • Thatched long straw roofs are characteristic of many historic buildings in Northamptonshire and some years ago our editor visited a farm in the south of the county where an old variety of winter wheat suitable for thatching is grown. It is also threshed and combed on the farm. In the main threshing barn, a Fordson E27N Major has stood for many years providing the belt power to drive the drum. So, as a small tribute to the 80 years since its launch, here is a view of the Fordson E27N Major driving the drum from its belt pully, as it has done for several decades.
