About the sound
The blue Fordson Major tractors were very popular in Finland from 1940’s until 1960’s. 90% of Finnish tractors were Fordson Majors during that period. They were also very popular in all the other countries they were distributed to. Mainly because of their affordable price and reliability.
In the recording you can hear the engine of the 1955 Major when it’s used to winch and lift wooden frames.
