Launched in 1958, as the successor to the ubiquitous Ferguson TE20, the
Masey-Ferguson 35 was a product of the merger of Massey-Harris and
Ferguson. It incorporated numerous improvements and new features and
became massively popular worldwide. Its companion, the 65 model, was
introduced shortly afterwards and was a larger tractor, offered with the
revolutionary Multi Power system that gave 12 forward and four reverse
gears. Durable and versatile, these tractors are still a practical
proposition today, and even unrestored examples command high prices.
Michael Thorne, author of Ferguson TE20 in Detail, continues the story
as he describes the development of these models, the production versions
and their capabilities, options and extras, conversions, implements and
their use today. Outstanding surviving examples are featured in some 80
photographs specially taken for this book, and there are approximately
120 accompanying archive illustrations.
