It may not be fast, but it's simple, robust and reliable! With good maintenance, I can see this still going in 300 or 400 years' time! I just *love* mechanical things like this, with lots of moving parts! Stirling engines are great too!
Key words being with good maintenance. When properly maintained a steam engine can last a VERY long time, but they're always slowly tearing themselves to pieces and you gotta keep up with them to prevent them from falling apart completely, or worse.
the fact is that this tractors are not simple, robust nor reliable... plus they need as much time maintaining them as working with them. They are fun, yes, but they never were popular and only relativelly usefull (They were used more as a mobile steam engines for machines, that for real tractor work)
@@gallaieousyehudai12 Which is why a decent amount of them are in such good condition. They knew how to take care of them - a mostly lost art these days. Although, one correction. They didn't have stockpiles of parts, they had people who knew how to make new parts custom fit to the vehicle.

Something i like remarking to my engineer about tbh. We usually drive faster than the tracks we run on are rated for (49 mph) but yet when you are moving that fast it feels alot faster just due to the height. Like 49 in my car compared to 49 in the cab is a world of difference

@@beanapprentice1687 modern tractors have about 110 HP, of course heavily depending on model, this thing supposedly has 150HP if i can trust Wikipedia, its more powerfull than the standart modern tractor, so i would say in its own class it is the apex even to this day
@@Pilotfox123 150hp is still a very low figure for a vehicle so incredibly heavy. And 150hp is on the upper end of the spectrum, most of these tractors had less than 100hp. And since a 150hp Honda civic can’t tow tens of thousands of pounds, there is clearly something else at play that allows steam tractors to tow so much weight. That is, their immense traction and their high wheel torque thanks to gearing.
@@beanapprentice1687 i know that, but that was not what you or i was talking about. I was just saying that compared to modern tractors, vehicles of its own class, it still has a pretty good ammount of horsepower if not more.

Thanks for the trip down your part of the world, it took me a while to figure out where you were, until I seen the sign to Christchurch at 25:47.
I loved those 80Km speed signs, I'm guessing you were closer to 8KpH
OOOOhhhh, it was an absolute privilege watching that. Thank you so much. I was just wondering though if you had some kind f water injection or something to keep the boiler full or is a boiler full of water sufficient for such a trip?
When he moved the lever and the machinery started moving and rotating is the most satisfying thing to see
I love the way it sounds when you opened up the throttle
Can you imagine, back in the good old days .
When we didn't have Health and safety annoying you about machine guards on everything 😂😂😂😂😂
"good old days" for whom? surely neither the slaves, nor the workers loosing their limbs and kids to these things. so who had a good time back then? if it's not the workers or the slaves?
@@Anonymuskidbla bla bla, losing a limb is only weight reduction
@@machine1man1 I bet it also builds character.
Thankful is what they should be!
My grandma would tell me stories about how all her uncles died. Many in accidents involving machinery. Good old days?
@@Anonymuskid oh hit a sore point there softy.

People are distracted drivers because of cell phones. Hold my beer as I shovel coal into the hot box. Great video. I love the guy giving the hand signal for you to blow the horn. 🥰
7:00 Even the cows gathered up to see such a wonderful machine!
Is this in New Zealand. Looks like tram rd in Canterbury
Yes it is.
Reminds me of blighty
They passed a Temuka sign, so much closer to Timaru than Christchurch.
