Volume Two concentrates on the Ferguson TE20 tractor, often lovingly referred to as “The Little Grey Fergie”.
Five films from the late forties and early fifties transport us back to a time when farming life was very different from today.
The TE20 is shown at work all over the British Isles using a range of Ferguson implements and equipment carrying out a multitude of traditional tasks.
We also witness the auspicious occasion of the building of the 200,000th Little Grey Fergie in 1951.

Volume Three looks once again at the famous Ferguson TE20 with four films showing just how versatile the Little Grey Fergie really was, with films shot in countries around the world and in Britain.
A rather poignant film looks in detail at the terrible aftermath of the 1953 floods on the east coast and how the Ferguson TE20 came to the rescue.
In addition we see how the little fergie was used as a road roller by the Twose Company.

These films were shot in colour and date from the 1940’s giving an exceptional glimpse of farming practices sixty years ago!

Horses, Steam and the First Fifty Years of Tractors.
In the third volume of The Tractor Story horses, steam traction engines and ploughing engines share the stage with the first early tractors.
We see how they developed from basic pulling machines to the more sophisticated tractors of the 1950’s and 60’s.
Starting at the The Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket, Suffolk to admire their fine collection of steam powered machines, we then take a look look at many classic tractor names from this era, seen both working and at Cheffins Vintage auctions.

The Story of the Doe Triple D, the Doe 130 and the Doe 150
