Heller 50401 Traktor Ferguson TE-20 "Petit Gris" (Model Set)

Ferguson TE20 was an agricultural tractor of British production from the post-war period. Serial production was carried out in the years 1946-1956. The tractor was powered by various power units, but the most common for this purpose was a 1.8-liter gasoline engine and a 2-liter petrol-paraffin engine.

The TE20 was developed by Hnery Ferguson and was primarily produced by the Ferguson Company. The new tractor was developed on the basis of the Massem Ferguson 35 vehicle, but it had many innovations and turned out to be one of the most popular and most important tractors produced after 1945. First of all, it was characterized by a relatively simple structure, low weight and small size. It was also a very stable and maneuverable tractor both on the road and in the course of field work. It was also relatively cheap to produce and operate. More than 500,000 copies of this vehicle were manufactured at the Ferguson Company factory, the majority of which (over 65% of production) was exported: to the countries of continental Europe, but also to the countries of the British Commonwealth. It is assumed that the Ferguson TE20 played a significant role in the mechanization of agriculture in many countries.
