Apart from being a successful businessman, Henry Ford was also an inventor and his first Fordson tractor was put into mass production in 1917. By 1925, he had made over half a million of them, used not only in the USA and Canada but in Britain as well. As a result of the US recession of the 1920s and 1930s, Ford moved production to the Irish Republic in 1929 before moving again to Dagenham in the UK, which was to become the home of the Ford Motor Company for decades afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cdiv class=\"\" logo-gutter ng-tns-c1406442351-16 ng-star-inserted\u003e  \u003cdiv class=\"\" resize-observable\u003eThe Fordson Power Major was produced by the Ford Motor Company from 1952 to 1961.
