The smallest model in the Massey-Harris lineup, the Pony, was introduced in Canada in 1947. It had a 1.0-liter gasoline engine from Continental and 3 forward gears. A hydraulic lift was added as an option in 1950. However, the Pony’s 3-point hitch did not meet the standard and required its own attachments. From 1951 onwards, the Pony was also manufactured in France, equipped with a 1.2-liter Simca engine. The original French model’s type designation was 811. In 1953, the Pony 812, featuring a welded frame, was introduced. In the newer 820 and 821 models from 1957 onwards, a 1.0-liter 2-stroke diesel from Hanomag was used, and as a carbureted engine, a 20-horsepower Simca. Later Ponies had 5 forward gears.

Production in Canada ended as early as 1954, but in France, it continued until 1962. In the final phase, the Pony was called the Massey-Ferguson 21. In total, about 29,000 Ponies were produced in Canada, and nearly 90,000 in France.
