The first Fordson Dexta tractors appeared in 1957 to compete head-on with the Massey Ferguson 35 which had been launched the year before to replace the much-loved ‘Little Grey Fergie’ TE20 in the small tractor market. It used a 35hp 3-cylinder diesel engine developed jointly by Ford and Perkins.
Following a restyle in 1960 which saw the headlights incorporated into the grille, in 1962 the more powerful 39hp Super Dexta was launched, before the final 45hp New Performance version made its debut in June 1963, and only made until September 1964 when Dexta, and indeed Fordson production came to an end, all subsequent models being given a Ford badge.
This example has been used around the small holding for many years and was driven into the barn some three years ago. It benefits from a front bucket.
Sold as a project.
