I know this one goes through inspection and approval from some agency every year before they put on this show.

Fun fact, one of the part owners of this big steam tractor is one of the guys that lets us pheasant hunt his land and also has a pretty cool little car collection

Make it up to SD and see the Case 150 sometime, it's an awesome steamer. I got to see it but didn't see it working. Massive machine.

Hard to imagine that one is rated at no more than 20 HP!

Pawnee Ok has a big one every year. We used to show Tractors there. I seen a Steam Tractor pull a Cat D10 Dozer backwards, I lost a $100 bet. They are heavy and stout!

Steam has unlimited horsepower. Traction is king.

A friend, William Dove, I was stationed with in both the Azores and Marine Barracks 50+ years ago was deep in to restoring these. He was a heck of a craftsman from Tulsa. Still go to his facebook page - his posts were THAT impressive.
