STEAM ENGINE TRACTORS...They BUSTED The Prairies AND SO MUCH MORE...CASE 65 HP...

For 25 years Steam Engine Tractors or Steam Traction Engines ruled the prairies. They busted sod, threshed grains, and powered other machines around the farm. Here is a Case 65 HP steam engine tractor up close and working.

Thanks for a very informative look at steam engines. I wish he would have described and blown the 2 whistles though. Beautiful machine!

Nothing short of cool.

Thank you for the information, I’m 62 and i knew a little bit of what the machine was and did. Although I didn’t know a lot about it, I learned much more than I knew. Thank you again, I learned a lot more about our past( history).

The smell of burning coal is un mistakable! You only gonna smell it once and you instantly know what it is!

Steam engines did that case ever go To Rough and tumble I remember it in 2015

[@LancoAmish]

@@LancoAmish I’d like to see that Frick fired up one of these days

The busted the prairies, then the prairies blew away!

[@bassfisher4010]

A 65 case was never rated with any drawbar horsepower. The earlier case engines were. Such as a 32hp which became what we know as 110 case. A 65 case would have been about 22hp on the drawbar. Not 40

[@LancoAmish]

Just going by what the operator told me. There are steam engine schools in the area. Maybe they measured the rating.

[@bassfisher4010]

@Garden Spot Acres no problem just thought I would let you know. The ratings always seem awfully small compared to today's tractors

[@rogermorrill4700]

Should’ve closed front damper to keep cold air off the tubes
