Old Ferguson Video

I like the roller that used the tractor as an attachment!

 

6:55 or so in the video

Very interesting video. Cool to see all the different things that can be run by a tractor.

And nice use of the St. Louis Arches before they mounted them over the city!

And all those gents in suits, ties, and overcoats on a chilly April day. 

Very cool demonstrations, I'm sure they sold some tractors and implements after that day!

You can tell who the 'experts' are, they are wearing the white lab coats.

 

I wonder if they were using the internal hydraulic pump to run the hydraulics on the front end loader.  That pump isn't very big.

 

Also noted that most of those attachments were not really for ag. use.  More for grounds and athletic field maintenance.

The "single arm" loader design was kinda innovative but didn't seem to have a lot of capacity so maybe small diameter cylinders using the internal pump?

 

The signboard at the beginning said it was a Groundsmen's Rally. Athletic fields, parks, commercial properties, and estates in those days. Smart to have it when there's not a lot to do on grounds (April is still cold and dreary in much of the UK -- apologies to our members there , but that was my lived experience!) and when people are ready to buy for the upcoming season!
