This brought tears to my eyes. My father had Kelly Springfield Road Roller. I believe it was a 1918 or 1922. We belonged to Threshing Machine Club in Michigan, USA. It was such a slow moving mammoth. I remember painting it each year and making it beautiful for history to be shown at the County Fairgrounds. We grew up with Steam and it is always great to see a young person interested in this.
The Dibnah of the South! Good to see a young road-steam fan. People, like myself, tend to focus on the Railway aspect so it good to see someone caring for rarities like the tri-tandem.
Love the video mate but hate to correct you but there is another steam tractor convertable in to a roller use to stand at barleylands farm edna driscall use to own it.
