Oxford Diecast 1/120 120TEA002 Ferguson TEA Tractor Red
Oxford have modelled the Ferguson TEA tractor in both 1:76 scale and 1:148 scale previously and here it is again in the diminutive 120 scale, decorated for its second release in grey with a bright red engine cover and front radiator, black seat and steering wheel and finished off with red rims to the huge black wheels with grey hubs. Small but perfectly formed!
The Ferguson TEA is a model of the Ferguson TE20 (often called the "Little Grey Fergie"), a popular agricultural tractor manufactured from 1946 to 1956 and known for its small size, light weight, and manoeuvrability. It introduced Harry Ferguson's hydraulic three-point hitch system, a standard that revolutionized tractor design and mechanised agriculture worldwide, making it the first tractor affordable to the average farmer. The TEA stood for Tractor England with the model A signifying Henry Ferguson’s ‘suction side’ hydraulic control system. David Brown Tractors – another great name in the industry - manufactured the Little Grey Fergie in Huddersfield throughout its life.
