Ferguson TO-30 Reviews

Our "Fergie"
Model Year: 1953

We purchased this tractor to help around our small place. The Ferguson TO-30 is just the right size and power to do what's needed around our home. We have a 5 feet wide rear mounted blade to level the driveway, a 4 feet wide Bush Hog to clear weeds and an old Dearborn Model 10-80 Disk Plow to help with the garden. The tractor has a 3 point hitch which helps to move heavier items.

Pros: Small size, good power, well constructed, wide front axle.
Cons: Does not have a lower gear to enable use of a roto-tiller.

Ferguson Harris TO-30
Model Year: 1954

My son-in-law purchased and gave it to me as a Christmas present 2011. I had to do so work to it to get it running good. I replaced the point,spark plugs wires from the distributor to plugs was in the wrong order, rebuild the starter,cleaned the inside of the gas tank, replaced the gas filter and cleaned carburetor. This baby runs and works good I can't wait to get back on it.

Pros: Old and tough. Works good.
Cons: None. Everything works good with maintenance.

Great Little Workhorse
Model Year: 1953

Lacks some of the bells and whistles you find on many newer machines such as power steering, power brakes and a three point hitch which stays put when using a boom. However the simplicity and weight of the machine makes the power options almost un-needed, and the position control can be retro fitted for about $25. Can be tough to start when the temperature is below 20 degrees and a rollover protection bar is difficult to add, so be careful. All in all, still my favorite tractor. Make sure to convert to 12 volt and add water and wheel weights to the front tires.

Pros: Tough, reliable, cheap to own, maneuverable.
Cons: Low slung exhaust, turning brakes inconveniently located, no live hydraulics.

Awesome 1952 Ferguson TO-30
Model Year: 1952

I purchased my tractor from a private seller out on North Carolina back in January 2011 and have been very pleased with this great work of machinery! I can't tell you how useful this tractor is for its size. It came with a 6 foot scraper blade,a 4 foot bush hog, and a pig pole. This is my first tractor so I am probably a little biased but can't get over how well this works for its age! The breaks are less than great, but something that I'll take care of soon.

Pros: Size, turning radius, strong 3-point power.
Cons: Difficult to control the height of the 3-point.
