The engineers were incredibly smart back in those days. This is a very good way to work on the soil as the actual machine going over it is light weight and does not compress the soil what would negatively impact plant growth. This should be a more gentle treatment than with modern tractors 👌
Fantastic!! We saw one of the engines at Hollowell this weekend, so it’s great to now see the plough.
Glad to hear you liked this video. There are other steam plough videos on my channel if you'd like to see more.
glad to see passing on the skills

Yes but very expensive a labour intensive unfortunately.
