Massey Ferguson  1200 Seen in the classic and vintage machinery ring at the Royal Norfolk Show
Introduced to UK farmers in 1972 this appeared to be a radical shift in tractor design. An articulated tractor based on the large American style of tractor. In reality it was only rated at around 110hp and was seen as a competitor to Roadless, County and Muir Hill who dominated the higher horsepower tractor market.
Skin and rice puddings come to mind.
