Back in the day Harry Ferguson revolutionized agriculture
With his three point hitch he conquered earth
It took years to perfect his mechanical wonder
To reduce tractor weight, increasing traction to give birth
To an invention that punched hard with engineering thunder
Harry’s brains conquered weight in the pulling of plows
As the three point hitch gave farmers new traction might
Should tractor wheels slip when the soil became slippery or tight
Genius entered lifting the plow
Increasing traction by raising the tractors weight
Patented in the mid nineteen twenties it lasted to the fifties
When every tractor manufacturer in the world
Used The Ferguson System making their tractors shine
Still here today Harry’s heavy invention
Will go down in history as an agricultural shrine
Harry Ferguson created the Little Grey Fergie
Still in use after eighty odd years
A masterpiece of dedicated and brilliant engineering
Pulling over its weight it will be forever remembered
As an agriculture treasure and a little grey machine of much splendour
