The Roadless 94T was built from 1971 to 1975 in Houndslow, England. Roadless was known as a specialist in all-wheel-drive technology, and this model fits that line: the all-wheel drive is selectable, so the tractor runs on a driven rear axle on dry road and engages the front axle on heavy ground. That saves fuel and spares the front tyres on tarmac.
The figure of 146 units built shows that this was a niche product. Compared with large series tractors, which were made in five- or six-figure quantities, that is a small run, typical of conversion and specialist firms. The vehicle is correspondingly rare today.
The engine is water-cooled; further details on output and displacement are missing from the dataset. Comparing the model with the neighbouring sister type, production period and unit count are the main differences.
Roadless – other models: the collective page of British 4x4 conversions from Hounslow outside the named ranges, from the Fordson Dexta to the Fordson Major Half-Track, 73 to 85 kW (98 to 114 hp), Ford and Perkins engines
This page gathers the Roadless tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Roadless Traction, based in Hounslow near London, factory-fitted Fordson tractors such as the Dexta, Super Dexta and Major with four-wheel drive, and in some cases also as a half-track version (Fordson Major Half-Track) for work on soft and sloping ground; the engines came from Ford, including the 2714E and 2715E, and occasionally from Perkins with the F3.152 unit.

The register lists here 15 versions, mostly with a diesel engine, with 73 to 85 kW, or 98 to 114 hp.
Four-wheel-drive conversions of this kind were widespread mainly in Britain and Ireland on wet, sloping grassland and in forestry, where the standard Fordson rear-wheel drive reached its limits; Roadless thereby supplied both farming businesses and military and municipal users.
Buyers of used units should check the four-wheel-drive mechanics – transfer case, drive shafts and, on the half-track versions, track undercarriage and tensioning rollers – for wear, as well as the engine and clutch as on any Fordson classic, plus rust on the bodywork and axle housings; since Roadless itself no longer exists, spares for the conversion components run mainly through Fordson specialists.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
