Tractor heritage, news and features

Ferguson Committee raises £3223

The funds were raised from their Homestead event at Growell Dromore, Eire last August when spectators and enthusiasts from all over Ireland and even some visitors from New Zealand flocked to the event.

The theme was commemorating 75 years of the Ferguson Brown tractor and there were a few on display including a perfect example, No 15, supplied by owner Mr Matt Foreman from Hillsborough.

New activities were introduced this time including a tractor pull organised by the local young farmers club, a ploughing demonstration at the lower end of the field and operating skills on a mini track machine. Radio controlled tractor trailer driving and ride on tractor trailer driving were also available.
