Massey Ferguson Limited is a major agricultural equipment company which was based in Canada, Ontario, Brantford before it was purchased by AGCO. The company was formed by a merger between Massey Harris and the Ferguson business farm machinery producer in 1953, creating the company Massey Harris Ferguson. However, in 1958 the name was shortened for the first time to coin the brand Massey Ferguson. Today the company exists as a brand name utilized by AGCO and remains a major dealer around the world The firm was founded in 1847 in Ontario, Newcastle by Daniel Massey as the Newcastle Foundry and Machine Manufactory. The business started creating some of the world's starting mechanical threshers, first by assembling parts from the United States and eventually designing and building their own equipment. The firm was taken over and expanded by Daniel's eldest son Hart Massey who renamed it the Massey Manufacturing Co. and in 1879 moved the business to Toronto where it soon became one of the city's leading employers. The massive collection of factories, consisting of a 4.4 hectares (11 acres) site with plant and head office at 915 King Street West, became one of the best known features of the city. Massey expanded the company and began to sell its products internationally. Through extensive advertising campaigns he made it one of the most well known brands in Canada. The firm owed much of its success to Canadian tariffs that prevented the bigger US companies from competing in Canada. A labor shortage throughout the country also helped to make the firm's mechanized equipment very attractive. Massey Ferguson developed a wide range of agricultural vehicles and have a large share in the market across the world especially in Europe. The company's first mass-produced tractor was the Massey Harris Ferguson TVO which was quickly replaced by the Diesel 20. In 1958 the MF35, the starting Massey Ferguson branded tractor (a Ferguson design) rolled off the factory floor. These tractors were massively popular and sold across the UK, Australia, Ireland and the United States. From the mid-1970s and early 1980s came the 200 series tractor, which included the MF 230, 235, 240, 245, 250, 255, 260, 265, 270, 275, 278, 280, 285, 290, 298, 299.

The history of Massey Ferguson began in 1847, when Daniel Massey established a small blacksmith shop in Newcastle, Ontario, Canada. The company initially produced a variety of farm equipment, including harrows, plows, and threshing machines. In the following decades, Massey expanded its operations and began producing a wider range of agricultural equipment, including steam-powered threshing machines and reapers.
In 1891, Massey merged with the A. Harris, Son & Co. Ltd. to form Massey-Harris Co. Ltd. The merger brought together two of the largest agricultural equipment manufacturers in the British Empire, and the new company quickly became one of the leading suppliers of farm equipment in the world.
In the early 20th century, Massey-Harris continued to innovate and expand its product line, introducing new technologies such as gasoline-powered tractors and combine harvesters. The company also established a number of international subsidiaries and began exporting its equipment to countries around the world.
In 1953, Massey-Harris merged with Harry Ferguson Ltd, a leading manufacturer of tractors and implements, to form Massey-Ferguson. The new company was focused on producing a wide range of agricultural equipment, including tractors, combine harvesters, balers, and plows. This merger was pivotal in the history of Massey Ferguson as it gave the company a strong foothold in the global market.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Massey-Ferguson continued to expand its operations globally, opening manufacturing facilities in Europe, South America, and Asia. The company also continued to innovate and introduce new products, such as the MF1100 and MF1130 tractors, which were well received by farmers.
However, in the 1980s, Massey-Ferguson faced financial difficulties and struggled to compete with larger, more diversified companies. In 1994, AGCO Corporation acquired Massey-Ferguson, and the company became a subsidiary of AGCO.
Today, Massey Ferguson continues to produce a wide range of agricultural equipment, including tractors, combine harvesters, balers, and plows, as well as hay and forage equipment, seeding and planting equipment, and material handling equipment. The company has a presence in more than 140 countries and is known for its durable and reliable machinery. Despite a few ups and downs in its history, Massey Ferguson is still considered as one of the most respected and well-known brand in the agricultural industry.
