They were a company set up in the 1940's in Coventry, England called Oak Tree Appliances with the idea of building a light car and tractor that were affordable in a restricted economy of the time. The tractor was originally designed as a three wheel model and was powered by a Ford 10 hp engine, similar to the one that was used in the English Ford car range of Anglia, Prefect and Popular. The tractor performed well and was well liked by small farmers and horticultural growers, being very manoeuvrable and light. It had independent hydraulics powered by an engine driven hydraulic pump.
