Massey Ferguson FE-35 – the successor to the Ferguson TE-20 from Coventry, 1956 to 1964, three-cylinder of 2,500 cm³, 27 to 32 kW, unladen weight 1,480 kg
The FE-35 was the successor to the Ferguson TE-20, which started production in 1956 at the Banner Lane plant in Coventry and, after the 1957 merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson, became the new Massey Ferguson brand's first shared tractor; the 1830 model designation refers to the engine code. The suffixes -60, -62, -63 and -64 in the model names on this collective page give the successive production years up to replacement by the MF 35 X range in 1964. The 1830 engine is a Perkins three-cylinder diesel that also powered other vehicles and stationary equipment of the period.

The register lists here 7 versions with 27 to 31.8 kW from three-cylinders of 2,500 cm³, an unladen weight of 1,480 kg, a length of 2,970 mm and widths from 1,630 to 2,350 mm.
The FE-35 carried Harry Ferguson's three-point hydraulics with draft control under the Massey Ferguson name for the first time and became one of Britain's most-built tractors; among farmers and collectors it is still regarded as a classic of post-war mechanisation. In Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth countries, the FE-35 shaped a whole generation of farmers who used effective three-point hydraulics for the first time through it.
On these classics, engine condition and the cylinder-head gasket count, the condition of the three-point hydraulics and draft control, clutch and gearbox, and rust on bodywork and mudguards; spare parts for the Perkins engine and the hydraulics are well available through the specialist classic-tractor market.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
