The Fordson Super Major was introduced in 1960 as the final major development of Fordson's long-running E1A tractor family, produced at Ford's Dagenham facility in England. The Super Major was designed for general agricultural work, including plowing, cultivating, hauling, and operating a wide range of farm implements. It featured a four-cylinder diesel engine and improvements to the tractor's hydraulic and braking systems compared with earlier models. The 1961 Super Major represented the mature version of this tractor line during a period when mechanized farming was expanding throughout Britain and other markets. Its durable design and practical engineering helped make the Super Major a recognizable part of postwar agricultural history. The narrow row-crop configuration represented by this model gives collectors a distinctive variation on the familiar Fordson tractor design. <Cite refs={["turn398525search12","turn398525search14","turn398525search1"]}/>
