What if it Snows?

Bet they compared machines by rounds made per chunks of coal used/sticks of wood burned.
Make good supper table talk, pre truck stop type.

Not sure, but that tractor has a 650 gallon water tank and 2 coal bunkers each with a capacity of 3000 pounds.

Looked up a few other videos on it and it has a top speed of 5 mph in high gear. By use of the auxiliary transmission that speed is cut in half. Basically it has 2 speeds.

 

The Big Boy’s, a 4884 steam engine, biggest single engines built.
They had about 7500 gross HP, a draw bar of about 6200 HP, but a Traction Effort of 135,000 lbf.

 

Better not go to montana anytime soon after fueling at that ta

A group of farmers wouldnt buy one of these road eangines. Nope one very rich land owner with alot of acreage. That farmer would have had a multitude of tasks that tractor served
