Default New vs old

Had to share this lovely example of the new in contest with the old... which must weigh considerably more of course. Not a CMP in sight either (sadly).

Default That is a classic

Hi Keith

That has got to be one of the best tractor pull video I have ever seen. Wonder what the two tractors were rated at in horsepower? Clearly shows though that draw bar pull is only as good as how much power you can transmit to the ground.

Cheers Phil

More like weight and gearing as the steam engine itself would be in the 6 to 10 Hp range.

Now I see why those wonderful beasties were referred to as 'Traction Engines'. There is an annual Thresherman's Reunion somewhere here in Manitoba where they fire up a few of those old girls and show everyone what they can still do.

Default Great Old Move

Hi All

There is a move the Iron Maiden 1962 that is all about old steam traction engines that I like http://movies.msn.com/movies/movie/the-iron-maiden/
