Along the journey the company has hit land marks such as patenting the 3 point hitch, used on virtually every tractor today,1938 saw the invention of the first self-propelled combine, and in 1946 the company opened a plant in Coventry, England, which became the world’s largest factory solely devoted to the production of tractors. More recently Massey Ferguson has sponsored the inaugural YFCU Agri Conference and earlier this month the first Irish Agri Careers Expo.
