The Massey Ferguson 180 tractor was first released in 1967. It was known as the ‘Little Gray Fergie’ back then and was a smaller version of the 200 series. It was powered by a 38 horsepower diesel engine and had 2WD drivetrain. The 180 boasted features such as power steering and live hydraulics, making it a very popular model. It continued to be the go-to option for farmers right up to the mid-1980s, when Massey Ferguson discontinued the model and replaced it with the Massey Ferguson 235.
