The Fordson Power Major Tractor with Sirocco Cabin was part of Ford’s popular Major series, produced between 1958 and 1961. Built for power, reliability, and improved comfort, the Power Major featured a more robust engine and gearbox than its predecessors. The addition of the Sirocco weather cab—a steel-framed, factory-approved enclosure—offered enhanced protection from the elements, making it a favored choice for operators working in harsh climates.
Designed for heavy-duty agricultural tasks, the Power Major delivered excellent drawbar and PTO performance while maintaining mechanical simplicity and serviceability.
