The name Massey Ferguson came into being in 1958 as a shortened form of Massey-Harris-Ferguson - a company which had been formed five years earlier by the merger of US-based Massey Harris with the English company Harry Ferguson. Through the 60s the name became synonymous with the rudimentary and cab-less grey tractors seen on just about every farm on both sides of the Atlantic and became one of the best known brands in the agricultural equipment market.

Massey Ferguson products are available in more than 140 countries around the world through a network of more than 5,000 dealers. The combination of their long history, good reputation, strong branding and global service back-up means that Massey Ferguson products achieve good residual values almost anywhere in the world.
