Their strong suit was affordability. Their weak suits were manyfold. They did a good job for my dad and grandad pulling a 2 bottom 12" Oliver trailer plow that Oliver designed for the Fordson. Also pulled a 7' Oliver disc. It took over many of the chores that a team of horses had previously been used for. Also belt powered the silo filler with it. We never had an accident with it. My uncle purchased one of the last ones without fenders. The fenders were designed to prevent the infamous backflip and became mandatory equipment later on. He boasted about saving something like $50 or so by getting one of the last fenderless models. Fordsons were famous for being hard to start when hot. After some use, they also had a tendancy to jump into gear on their own. My uncle had left his running in the yard while he went to do something and while he was gone it jumped into gear and headed straight for the silo. It hit the silo head on and climbed right straight up the side of the silo and then proceeded to do a backflip. In spite of being made mostly of steel it managed to catch on fire after landing upside down. That was the end of my uncle's Fordson.
