150 CASE steam engine plowing with 36 bottom John Deere plow 

"How much are we doing today?" "Kansas"

1:47 Your truck has a hemi? That's cute! This thing has a VOLCANO.

I am old enough to remember steam railway engines. That sound brought back the whole excitement, smell and life of those old engines.

The power of this machine is intimidating but incredibly helpful for large-scale farming it seems, even for its age.

I’m very thankful that this kind of history is kept running.

Horsepower: 150 Torque: ALL of it

I am so impressed and amazed at how wonderful this machine is. She is a testament to human created items that are of great accomplishments

Q: "How much torque?" A: "All of it."

The Tractor isnt actually moving, its pulling the earth in reverse rotation

I was born in 1940 grew up in London and the guy in the house opposite was a steam engine fireman, he took me into the steam yards a couple of times to pick up his wages. There were engines everywhere getting cleaned and steamed up, though I didn't know any of this at such a young age. My father was employed in tunnel construction and was build 7 paralle tunnels on the twin track Northern railway route from London to Scotland. These would enable twin track running in both directions. My uncle had a farm in North Wales and I'd be put on a train at Paddington London and met by my uncle at Wrexham. He ploughed with horses and it was my nephews job to water them down and feed them at the end of each day. So they would stand in the pond for an hour or so and we would clean them down, those old boys would turn around as you finished each quarter. They could plough a field and no need to tell them anything. Then on one trip uncle told me he had bought a Grey Ferguson tractor well I started crying as in London the milk float horses had been replaced with electric and the horses put down. On arriving at the farm I was releaved to see them retired to the orchard, now I could enjoy learning to drive a tractor. One day I asked what the huge stone blocks and cast iron corners were on all the farm building, uncle told me it was to help steer the steam engines that came to plough the fields. They would ride the side of the wheel up and kick the machine sideways. Two would set up at each side of the field and winch the plough across using long ropes, a smaller version plough than you have shown. It would be turned and the other engine would winch it back and so on. This method proved troublesome and expensive so horses were used again, steam wagons were used to transport produce the market and Liverpool docks, so the kick corners still had a use. My first job was assisting the engineers take measurements on an old steam train tunnel that was being enlarged for electrification. So in my life I seen the end of horse, steam power, Concorde and my brain to remember telephone numbers. But you have stirred my memories of steam, so thank you very much for that.

One of the most coolest videos on RU-vid right now, this video doesn't move you, then I can't help you.

I've watched this 5 times and it's still fun to see.

To the people that restored this, thank you. An amazing American treasure.

You can tell she's feeling good. No misfires or odd sounds. Just the sound of constant and un-yielding power. Yep, they can be cranky and cantankerous, but when they sound as good as this one does, they sound great. Great video.

Thank you for keeping so well this great machine

Old dude: "The land says we gotta go big...what have we got?" Other old dude: There's this old locomotive that we could fix up..."

For some strange reason, the sound of a steam engine always sounds so comforting.😇

Without these bits of history being saved many people would never know about them.

What a beauty. Seen many traction engines here in UK but none this powerful.

A truly impressive machine that I hope to see in person some day!

My grandfather was a Case traction engine dealer in the 1900's, his shop still stands today with the high swing doors and the floor 2 feet of concrete. Wish I could go back in time for just one day

It's actually easier to repair this thing than any of the modern John Deere Tractors

Noway. I didn't think that a machine like this could be exist. Great, thanks for share the history

that looks like a lot of fun being together enjoying the day doing something we never do. cheers

What an incredible machine. Imagine growing up with no technology, and one day this beast shows up to your farming town, and does half the towns yearly plowing in a day.

This must have seemed like science fiction when compared to a man, a horse and single furrow plough it was replacing.

What a beautiful example of raw engineering at its finest, I love going to traction engine fairs, they are a good reminder of where our present day evolved from. Back in the days when this was first introduced it must have been amazing to see such a massive amount of cultivation being done in such a short space of time. The funny thing is people still think the steam age came to an end but it didn’t, we just adapted how we use it, instead of driving machines with it we produce electricity with it, to this day all electricity in the world is still made by producing steam to drive a mechanical device.

This was recreated from original plans as none of the originals survived, incredible job and what a fine machine.

How much torque does this thing have? Operator: yes.

I'm so glad there are people preserving this history.

That's a lot of torque. It's good to see these old machines still working.

This machine is one of the most beautiful that I’ve ever seen!!! God bless American ingenuity!!

You know, that tractor is great and all, but did you see that soil? That is some beautiful, black, fertile soil right there.

Imagine back in this machines hey day, looking out and seeing that plume of smoke drifting across the plains. Must have been a glorious sight.

Great to see that. Thanks for sharing!!!!

The finest results of engineering genius ever!

Absolutely incredible torque on this beast, the designer's knew their stuff, one EMP over us and steam will be back for a few decades till the grid is back on line. Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very much for preserving this outstanding tractor.

They should have had a country band with a banjo playing on that plow

That is just impressive. And that dirt, it just makes me jealous.

One of the coolest things I have ever watched

Something like this may have been the inspiration for Mortal Engines. "Hey, what's all that smoke over in the field?" "Torque." "How many does it take to make it actually work hard?" "We haven't found the answer."

I looked up "what is torque" and ended up here 😉😁

How awesome- just relaxing on one of these while you pull the entire planet around.

Awesome! Thank you.

That old Case didn't even break a sweat pulling the 36 bottom John Deere sled. I love to see old machinery still swingin it like they did 100 years ago

My 76 year old Dad just loved this video. Great job with the tractor, Kory. He is mighty impressed with your historic treasure. 🇺🇸🎩🍀🇺🇸

This remembers my child hood days in the fields at our family farm working with steam machinery in Saskatchawan Canada

Hands down for restoring it and taking the time to share it and show what it can still do

The farming equivalent of the Union Pacific railroad's "Big Boy" locomotive.

So that's why farmers had so many kids, just to stand on the back of a tractor

Let me tell you, this is going to be the technology of the future!

Absolutely stunning machine! I love it!

The gear reduction makes the torque insanely high. I'm sure that tractor could pull a second plow on the right and It wouldn't even break a sweat!

The danger of plowing with this fire-breather is that the rotation of the earth is slowed. BAD TO THE BONE!

Absolutely no problem pulling that 36 bottom plow even with the pop off valve wide open venting excess steam. What a brute.

That is so cool for a machine that old to have that much power. Thanks for sharing

The real meaning of rolling coal.

I'm guessing this won't pass emissions in cali

Incredible. Inspirational. The era of steam!

That’s incredible; thanks for sharing God Bless!!!

Will we be able to get our modern tractors up and running like this 100 years from now. What a beauty, looks just like new!

How to get around JohnDeer screwing over farmers with their equipment software.

So great watching how history was made and what a wonderful job of preserving that machine

This is awesome man

The town I grew up in had a steam weekend every year. The Threshermans Show was a great time for everyone. Thousands of people come with horses,mules and wagons. Everyone camped out and had fun. Unfortunately, like everything else it was ruined. All of the municipalities started wanting a bigger cut of the money it brought in. Police swarmed it so they could write tickets for parking, open containers and public intoxication. After a couple of years nobody wanted to come because it looked more like a prison camp than a festival. Now if a hundred people come it’s considered a good day. Nothing like the good old police state in the US.

"She thinks my tractors sexy"

What a cool video... Thanks for sharing.

I see this machine quite a bit on U tube and I'm definitely impressed. Not sure if there's even another left to compare it to but the real feat to me is maintaining and traveling around the country with that chunk of iron. I'm sure it keeps a few guys and couple trucks very busy .

150HP 4500 Torque gotta Love it, and look it's straight without GPS auto steer .

When I was young me and by brothers would sit on the plow because it wasn’t going deep enough into the ground , now days that would be considered child endangerment

One word for that machine “Majestic” two words for the peeps “Having Fun”

This video shows some glimpses of the amount of gearing-down that is required to generate the torque. I'd love to see a cutaway image - with animation - of just how the power from the steam-driven piston is transferred eventually to those huge driving wheels.

Nothing like the sight and sound of a steam locomotive to get one's "blood up" to start the day- how sweet it is !

- That Case looks like it would drag half a dozen monster trucks pulling the other way.

This is a good explanation of torque (by steam)

Молодцы! Сохранили историю! Хвала и уважение!!!!!!!

The 150 was originally designed as a road locomotive to haul heavy freight rather than farm operations.

"36 bottom plow!!" yeah, and it's not even straining. The torque these things had is incredible

Thanks for sharing, great video

Это реально завораживает. Ранняя механика красива и неповторима

This video literally needs to be on Modern Marvels.....just a little biased i am! Was an absolute honor to get to be a small part of the history of this amazing steam traction engine. When we filmed the very first pull of 24 bottoms at her unveiling two years ago, I knew then that this plow would grow… And adding 12 bottoms this year, or 50%!!! to the pull, she had just as much power in reserve on Friday 9/11 as she did two years ago on September 7. I smell 50 bottoms in the near future… If Jim Briden has anything to do with it! Hats off to an amazing engineering feat Kory and the downright undying sticktuitiveness to get it done!!!!

“So how much torque?” *YES*

Impresionante! Es como si yo hubiese estado allí. Un gran abrazo desde Argentina.

Paradise. Wonderful land, beautiful machine, great people !🥣🥗🍲🥧🍕🧀🍳🥞🥖👍

Thanks for bringing this piece of ag history back to life Kory. What an accomplishment!

This tractor does not move upon the earth. It makes the earth move underneath it.

Big old beast , so glad there's still folk who love steam power.

sick beat

its amazing to see this thing actually working a field and not just sitting in a museum all the time

What a glorious video, all involved clearly having an absolute blast of a time. Marvellous old machinery.

Well done on the restoration!

That is a huge load even for the biggest tractors today!!!!

When you want 10,000 ft*lbs of torque at 0 rpm, you want a steam tractor.

To me.....this is a first class , kick ass, all the way video. Loved every second. Brought tears to my eyes.

So cool love going to these kind shows

God Bless the strong Men and Women who built our country using these!

When I was young and helping dad on a 40 acre farm, we had a small ford tractor and a 2 bottom plow. This is impressive.

What I find remarkable about those old machines is that for their size, they really didn't have a whole lot of Horsepower, but could produce an absolute ENORMOUS amount of torque. Fascinating. Here's to many, many more years of safe operation.

Great video! Steam power! Thumbs Up 🚜💪👍😎

I watched steam engines ploughing at Dorset Steam Fair in England. It was amazing.
