A friend of mine has a Fordson Dexta and I was wondering as to the meaning or origin of the word DEXTA. Most model names (eg. MH Mustang) make sense to me but not Dexta.

I read somewhere the Dexta is short for dexterity. Dexterity being used to describe the usefulness of this little tractor.

Question has been asked many times. Check the site archive for a range of replies. There are a breed of small hardy sheep and cattle here in Enland called Dexter and it is possible Ford Style chaps might have had them in mind.
