Ford and Fordson Tractors

The official magazine of the Ford & Fordson Association. Ford & Fordson Tractors magazine covers the early Fordsons to the last of the Fords, and the latest news with New Holland. Each issue of this quality glossy magazine is packed with reader stories, buyers’ guides, news, reports, technical advice and parts for sale. The old Fordson and the Ford that followed were incredibly versatile tractors and were arguably converted by more specialist companies like County, Doe, Roadless and many others. We celebrate all this in our magazine with features on restorations, collections, recollections. Tractor collectors may also find that rare part or tractor for sale in our reader’s free ads.

SHROPSHIRE POWERSTAR • The 40 series, was one of the last to carry the Ford name before fully transitioning to New Holland. Bob Weir met up with Paul and Wilma Dillow and their superb 7740 SLE.

LUXURY LINE - THE 700 SERIES PART 2 THE HYBRID • The year 1976 was pivotal for the tractor industry as this was when many countries passed legislation that required a quiet cab to be fitted to new tractors that also met safety rollover regulations. Achieving a low noise level at the driver’s ear was not easy and was an expensive process taking many years to develop, with the resultant Ford Q cab being no exception, writes Jonathan Whitlam.

PART OF THE FAMILY – FORDSON DEXTA The restoration of a 1959 Dexta • Some machines earn their place in a family not through rarity or value, but through years of honest, dependable work. The 1959 Fordson Dexta at the heart of this story spent more than half a century with the same family outside Upperlands, Maghera, Northern Ireland. The tractor worked across three generations before being restored in memory of the woman who relied on it most.

BRILLIANT NATIONAL PART 1 • Technically, the National Vintage Tractor Road Run has been going 41 years started by Robert Coles with help from Ashley Godsall and when Robert went on to do other things Ashley took the helm until his retirement in recent years.
