Production of the Little Fergie's
started in late 1946, at the Banner Lane plant in Coventry, England.
During 1947, they made 20,579 tractors, and in 1948 they turned out 56,878. In just over two years Harry Ferguson's UK operation
had become "Tractor Makers to the World" with three quarters of that
production destined for export, for example, in Denmark, 70% of tractors
sold were Ferguson. The last one left the plant in 1956, and the final
production figure, a staggering 517,651.
The first petrol and TVO versions cost £418, and
the earliest diesels £538, at the Pwllheli Ferguson dealer. (The North
