An example was the mass-produced and low-cost Fordson tractor introduced by Henry Ford in 1916. Soon after the Irish inventor and agricultural engineer, Harry Ferguson, recognized the utility of a greater integration of the tractor with the implements and machines (plows, seeders, agrochemical applicators, harvesters, feeders), which were pulled behind it by a simple drawbar hitch.
Successful agricultural growth in various developed countries has therefore capitalized on abundant factors of production: land and mechanization in the United States; labor, land improvements, and biological technology in Japan. Continental Europe also emphasized biological technology before shifting the emphasis to mechanical technology.
