That's really cool. I would love the opportunity to "play" on one some day.

That one has amazing vertical climbing abilities.

Ed i watched a video of one of these old steam powerd case tractors pulling forty three John Deere bottom plows turning soil about a week ago.

At the Major County Threshing Bee every year there are a couple of those pulling houses around the grounds. Yes, houses.

Steam power is amazing , it has the same power (torque) at 1 rpm as it does at 100 rpm or 500 rpm , yes they can pull houses or lots of freight cars

The only thing it isn't a tractor, the proper name is Steam Traction Engine.

For me there is nothing finer than the music from a Steam engine under load.
