I don't think anybody here in the comments apart from Paul Duffey understands what's happening here. What the driver was trying to do was hold the engine in place on the incline without using their brakes. Which is something these traction engines can do because you get two power strokes per revolution, which means steam on either side of the piston. This allows you to hold the engine in place if you close the throttle and hold the clutch tight at the right moment.
He's not wrong we run em up on inclines and hold em there all day long. Steam is the brakes Port Huron was one of the few manufacturers to have a real braking system.
@Marcus Keeler actually they did, if you shut the throttle at just the right moment mid stroke you can stop it without breaks and hold there which is what happened, if they wanted to get up the hill it could have handled that because it wasn't towing anything, but that wasn't the point
These incredible steam engines are such an important part of the modern world, I'd no idea groups of people had rescued them for what must inescapably be a very very long future. At a given point they will fail, but you have the videos: and hopefully that will be enough to make other generations far in the future explore them, discover how they were built and restore them?...............
i love modern technology im really interested in everrything but my man i still love this old beast i have big respect for people who invented this technology with their skills and instruments in that years its creazy
Got to respect the calmness of the lady behind the staring wheel and her partner. Being able to control that thing going in reverse at that slope takes some skill and understanding
Well I mean, its in the name; "old steam engines" obviously it aint gunna be as efficient as a combustion engine but it still generates quite a lot of power.
@@twistedmindsteam1449 You should convert to liquid natural gas instead of LP, it's even more efficient and cleaner, not to mention cheaper if ypu have you're own gaswell
@@hoovercamaro im considering it but i have to do all the research possible to be sure the firebox will still work the way i want, my firebox maintains itself using a couple thermometers and a little chip that moniters them and a little motor that adjusts the valves for me, propane was the easy choice

Thanks professor I'll keep that in mind the next time I see a steam engine
Stfu Einstein. Lmao. Thanks learn something everyday

Professor Metal ; Thank you for the explanation. A small but quite important detail to know.
As an engine enthusiast I find these steam powered engines fascinating. Jay Leno got it right in collecting these old steam cars
Nice job. Being able to stop that thing at the right moment takes skill. Amazing that so much power can be controlled like this. Thank you.

@@twistedmindsteam1449 even if it was towing something it would have made it up there steam is nothing but pure torque.

Really precise operating. Great skill. They must know every rivet and what she can do. Well done both of you 👍

The official "DESTROY THE CLIMATE!!!!111elev3n!!" meetup?
EVEN WHEN I'M NOT DRUNK I CAN'T CLIMB THAT HILL.

Confused after reading the comments. So now I have to read up on steam engines. Thanks a lot. 😒
Bro played hill climb racing in real life
i love modern technology im really interested in everrything but my man i still love this old beast i have big respect for people who invented this technology with their skills and instruments in that years its creazy
* Bad piggies theme plays *
Winsor Steamorama had a hill trail steep and long enough that they would spin wheels doing this. Impressive to watch.
Rome BC would've been so entertaining if these were invented then.
Its crazy that now we have Dirt bikes and side by side ATV'S that could just fly over that hill

As a Union Boilermaker I really love this
Massive amounts of torque steam engines have.
"Say, what is that, a pregulator on a roller skate?"
That's how I feel getting out of bed in the morning.
The future of cars in 2023.
I love the sound of a steam engine
must be cool having a steam tractor
Way cooler than those mobility scooters old people use.
No. Those are very hot. It's steam 😂
Thought the tractor stalled climbing uphill for a second...
Do tractors have gears or its just one gear??
not bad for a steam tractor I give it a thumbs up
Nice job
The Little Engine That Couldn't. At least he tried...
Read what Paul Duffy said
нам паровоз вперёд летит .............
scrapyard best place 4 that
looks like a car from 1850s..
I know I've reached male adulthood when I wish someone was nearby that I could show these cool steam engines.
Cool tractor but it failed to climb the hill
That's what I was going to say... :D
You beat me to it, but I'll say it again.
POWERRRRR!!!!!
Really pushing Trevor to the limits here.
Good job
Woww amazing.. 👍👍
I liked the stop, I do this to missus, she blows steam😤
I was thinking, "it will never climb with those rear tires". Then I saw the hill.
Traction Engines are very cool
I have reached the bottom of the internet
I think I can, I think I can...
It did not have enough steam pressure built up.
Wow, Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea
Looks like the steam engine and threshers reunion at Mason, MI, USA. I've been to this event many times.
It looks fun
Very good
inching towards the crest of the hill at tremendous speed!! lol hahaha
Fantastico video 📹 👍 👏 🙋♂️
Put's a new perspective on hard it would have back in the day.
Diese alten Dampfrösser sind einfach schön anzuschauen 👍

I've got some work that needs doing. Maybe, I should get one of those.
Nice
It can climb faster than my Renault Logan
Consider these cool contraptions as Steam Train-like Tractors!
100 plus years later and we have the tweel, which was a thing a long time ago apparently
The fact this thing runs on water is beyond me.
my book DEVIL TRIAL has a traction engine - so fine returning to see one.
"It was not a my day. Next time would be better luck." Return home, work would be waiting me.
Tractor with no torque, very handy in the field xd
What a Beautiful tractor
Good
I thought such designs are only in hill climber game.
I rather have this thing than a ferrari, no joke lol
Can't believe we went from this to Tesla!
"I think I can, I think I can"
Woooowww aimy my loff
Ooooooo this is where they got "The Little Engine That Could"
Am I the only one having Trevor vibes here
Looks more like a locomotive that has swapped the back wheel
nice
I M INDONESIA,
Kinda sums it up what running out of steam means...
POWERRR!!!!
This tractor could prolly climb a 89 degree incline
That reminds me of my first car.
try opening the throttle
Bro he was using the engine as a brake.
After about a hundred years maybe we'll look at Bugatti and Lamborghini like this 🤔😂😂
Wow... !!! My best friend, Great Good... !!! I wish you every day of your development.
what a massive machine
what a massive hill
Брависимо!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

where such wonderfull things are happening? is it some festival of oldies? And girl at the weel has offcource an Oskar)))

Damn those old steam engines are really not efficient lol

They were trying to stop and hold it in place, the top comment explains it better.
At least it's eco friendly
Not when you’re burning coal or wood
@@beamishlotus7269 or kerosene or furnace oil
Mine uses propane

nice old lady
We can feel the POWER 🔋
Amazing
"hill climb" lol ok 🤣🤣🤣
Can you imagine dumping the clutch
All torque no power baby lets gooooo
My name is Giovanni Giorgio...
ZETOR vole!
Looks like trevor.
New world record. 12km/hour.
Hard to do drive by with that
wow 9yrs ago this quality is something
would death by steam engine make me the ultimate luddite?
Why is this so dope ahha
Poor little guy, at least they tried 👍👍
They were trying to stop it mid climb…
maybe you should check the spark plugs.?
