Nobody looks closer at a tractor than they! And there’s no greater endorsement for Fordson Major than the fact that over 120 Agricultural Contractors in New Zealand have chosen this tractor. On every type of work Fordson Major’s power, dependability and economy make profits. These men have proved it —working day after day and often at night, on the toughest, most gruelling jobs any tractor has been put to! Here, for instance, is what one Agricultural Contractor says: “In the 700 hours working to date my Fordson Major has given no trouble whatsoever and on one recent contract was running continuously for 48 hours, stopping only to refill the tank and change drivers.” And when expert attention is needed, these men know the value of the unsurpassed service and parts facilities provided by the Dominion-wide chain of 80 Ford Dealers. No wonder the English Fordson Major is New Zealand’s first choice.
