ebinmaine 67,401 #2 Posted September 19, 2020 I'm no steam power expert but it seems to be barely even thinking about the load. Absolute beast of a machine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,998 #8 Posted September 19, 2020 The steam engine with the 36 bottom plow knew it had a load on it, but it was not barking like it was going at full load. Got to remember that steam engines make maximum torque at zero RPM. On the other clip, I didn't know that JD made roto tiller attachments that big. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

echris 1,425 #12 Posted September 27, 2020 Steam guy was cheating. His rear tires are 2x the size of the Deer. Also, steam guy was cheating. He's using steam. That torquey bastage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #13 Posted October 5, 2020 Those old steam tractors are truly amazing beasts, we went to a show last weekend that had a few of them riding around, and even had one demonstrating the way they used to move houses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
