Harry Ferguson (born in Dromara) achieved worldwide fame with his invention of the Ferguson 3 point linkage system. This system still forms the basis of almost every tractor made today.

He was the second Briton to build and fly his own plane and he also achieved considerable success in motor racing and motor cycle trials.

On Saturday 16 August 2008 a bronze sculpture of Harry Ferguson was unveiled at Growell House, Harry Ferguson's birthplace.
