#Fordson Tractor

Snowmobile? - July 2023 One of the very interesting pieces of equipment on display at the World Museum of Mines had nothing to do with mining. It was a 1929 Fordson Snow Machine. Back in 1929, a kit was available to convert a Fordson tractor into a Snow Machine that could go over the deepest snow. The screw mechanisms evidently worked because a lot of these tractors were converted for winter snow or spring mud use. MWM

An old threshing machine! This would’ve separated wheat grain from the rest of the straw. You can see it’s powered here by this old fordson tractor, and you can also see in the background the huge rain cloud that completely drenched everyone five minutes after I took the photo!

A Brief History of Tractors: From Steam Power to Modern Machines

Tractors, the backbone of modern agriculture, have revolutionized farming practices and increased productivity worldwide. Their history is intertwined with the evolution of technology and the changing needs of agriculture. Let's delve into the fascinating journey of tractors from their humble beginnings to their current state-of-the-art forms.

The earliest forms of tractors can be traced back to the steam-powered machines developed in the 19th century. These cumbersome and inefficient machines were primarily used for plowing and hauling heavy loads. However, their limitations, such as the need for constant refueling and maintenance, hindered their widespread adoption.

The advent of the internal combustion engine in the late 19th century marked a turning point in tractor development. Early gasoline-powered tractors, while still bulky and heavy, offered improved efficiency and manoeuvrability compared to their steam-powered predecessors. These machines gradually gained popularity among farmers, particularly in regions with abundant fuel resources.

The 20th century witnessed significant advancements in tractor technology. The development of the Fordson Model F in 1917, often referred to as the "Tin Lizzie of the farm," marked a major breakthrough. This affordable and reliable tractor helped to popularize mechanized farming and transformed agriculture in many parts of the world.

In the following decades, tractor manufacturers continued to refine and improve their designs. The introduction of diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and four-wheel drive significantly enhanced the power, versatility, and efficiency of tractors. These innovations enabled farmers to perform a wider range of tasks, from plowing and planting to harvesting and transporting crops.

World War II accelerated the development of tractors as they were used extensively for military purposes, such as hauling supplies and equipment. The technologies developed during the war, such as improved engines and transmission systems, were later incorporated into civilian tractors, leading to further advancements.

In the post-war era, tractors continued to evolve, adapting to the changing needs of agriculture. The development of specialized tractors for specific tasks, such as row crop tractors, orchard tractors, and rice paddy tractors, further expanded their versatility. Additionally, the integration of electronics and automation has led to the development of more sophisticated and efficient tractors.

Today, tractors are equipped with advanced features such as GPS navigation, automatic steering, and yield monitoring systems. These technologies enable farmers to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and improve sustainability. As the agricultural industry continues to evolve, tractors will undoubtedly play a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for food and other agricultural products.

13th September 1962 - Test pilot George Aird ejected from XG332 Lightning F1 near Hatfield, Hertfordshire at very low altitude, after the plane became uncontrollable due to an engine fire.

Amazingly, George survived after crashing down through a greenhouse roof, breaking both legs and right thigh. He was unconscious due to the impact of landing and was woken by jets of cold water from the greenhouse’s sprinkler system. He later recovered to resume his flying career.

The photograph was captured by Jim Mead who had positioned himself close to Hatfield airfield in the hope of photographing his neighbour (also a test pilot) who was due to fly on that day.

The startled driver was 15-year-old Mick Sutterby, and the tractor appears to be a Fordson Major built by Ford at Dagenham, UK betyween 1933 and 1964.

The L. Norman Dillon Farm Museum Annual Spring open house.The weather is hot and humid and the museum didn’t mention the show on their website or Facebook page so not many people were here. Sadly, they had no staff or guides to explain the tons of equipment in and around the museum. Even a plaque on some of the equipment would have been helpful. All in all kind of a let down.
