Nuffield was among the earliest diesel tractors to show up on farms in Canada during the late 50s. Farmers just didnt want to trust these smelly unfamiliar diesel engines. The lower cost of fuel and the reliability on the diesels soon changed farmers minds. One of our neighbours hosted a demonstration day sponsored by a Nuffield tractor dealer and a fuel delivery company at their farm. The fuel distributor said they would install a underground fuel tank with an electric pump if you switched to their company when you bought a diesel tractor, and diesel was about 12 cents per gallon while gasoline was 25 cents. 4 farmers that I knew bought the new and largest Nuffield tractor at that demonstration day and took advantage of the underground fuel tank offer. Most local fuel companies had diesel, but their customers were construction equipment like road graders and bulldozers. There got to be quite a few British built Nuffield and David Brown tractors in our area during the early 60s, good reliable tractors and much less expensive than the American built tractors and ran on less expensive fuel too.
