The Ferguson TE20 is an agricultural tractor designed by Harry Ferguson. By far his most successful design, it was manufactured from 1946 until 1956, and was commonly known as the Little Grey Fergie. It marked a major advance in tractor design, distinguished by lightweight, small size, manoeuvrability and versatility. The TE20 popularised Harry Ferguson's invention of the hydraulic three-point hitch system around the world, and the system quickly became an international standard for tractors of all makes and sizes that has remained to this day.

  • Ferguson TE20 är Harry Fergusons gråa traktor. Namnet TE20 har den fått av T=Tractor, E=England och 20 engelska . Motoreffekten uppgick till ca 30 hk. Det nya med "Grållen", som den kom att kallas i Sverige, var den hydrauliska trepunktslyften med sin automatiska tyngdöverföring, vilket innebar att även en lätt traktor kunde dra förhållandevis stora redskap utan att slira. Metoden, som bygger på tryckavkänning i övre bärarmen, förhindrar att redskapet gräver ner sig i marken. Traktorn tillverkades i över en halv miljon exemplar och såldes i Sverige i cirka 33 000 exemplar av AB Farming i Nyköping. 1956 tog den då helt nykonstruerade över med bensin, fotogen eller dieseldrift. Efterträdaren hade bland annat större motor, sex fram- och två backväxlar (i stället för 4+1). Idag är "Grålle" ganska populär som veterantraktor. Den mest kända Grålleklubben i Sverige är Svenska Fergusonklubben Grålle som bildades 1987 i Ringarum, Östergötland. Idag är antalet medlemmar över 6 000. Många grålleträffar anordnas runt om i landet, till exempel veterantraktorplöjningar och grålleträngslar. En mindre smickrande, men i Sverige ganska spridd benämning är Gråsuggan. "Grållen" kallas i Norge för "Gråtass" och i hemlandet England kallas den "Little Grey Fergie". (sv)
