150 Case Steam Engine Pulling 44 Bottom John Deere Plow 

Well this is just awesome

what can't be appreciated til you see these steam engines in person is how quiet these monsters are. truly beautiful.

John Deere: That control module costs $4000 Steam tractor guy: I found the plans, cast my own parts.

12:10 Boiler pops off, full pressure. That's a Case's way of saying it's bored and looking for a real challenge.

Geologist- "The continents are drifting apart". Case 150- "Hold my beer"

I love how this man had the drive to basically say, we have the plans and there are no surviving 150's let's build one, so people can see what it was like and what it was capable of. Than you for spending the time and money to "build" a piece history👍

Had no idea this thing wasn't an original - amazing feat to recreate the original design with nothing to go on but plans.

This was satisfying watching this beast turn soil. I'm a tool and die maker by trade. I just finished making some one off parts for our local train museum. I told the museum people anything I can do to help just let me know. The men and women out there keeping historic machine humming I salute you.

It wasn't even breaking a sweat! Imagine this thing in 1905... while everybody else was using horse drawn plows... 🤯

That thing could probably pull another 12 rows added, but the frame would probably pull itself apart. Well done!

This is the best tractor on our planet earth. The size, power, look,, enthusiasm, dedication, makes me cry with joy. You mark my words.... Steam come back in the future.

The reason why this is diagonal is so that one operator has the time to walk down each plow to lift the lever, maintaining a straight line at the edge of the field during start and stop. If anyone wanted to know. With an experienced crew, you can do all of this with 2 or 3 people. That is why these tractors were built back in the day. This is the work of thousands of people done in a single day.

That is one of those machines that makes me think I was born in the wrong century. Good interview and solid footage of it in action.

What an absolute beast... Thank you Kory for bringing back a unique and very cool piece of history... I can just imagine what the farmers back in those early days, many who were still using horses thought of a machine that could pull a 44 bottom plow... Weeks worth of work done in hours...!!

Going to a machinery show this weekend where some of these will be present. Seeing them is always a treat. Still, the comments are funny. These things are huge hogs of fuel AND water, and slower than molasses. It's ALL power, and while interesting, it's vastly inferior to a narrower plow on a much faster and far more efficient tractor. These things changed the world, though, and their contribution to humanity's growth should never be forgotten!

Hats off to you, Mr. Anderson (?) for putting the the time and energy to bring to life an icon of a bygone era. Thank you Jon for the video work and heart to remind us of the work of past generations. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks too for your grandfather and Jake for your restorations.

Wow !!!!! Guy seems pretty humble for what was prob a huge task in all aspects!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!!!!

They did a great job remaking this thing. But can we all just take a moment and think the men that designed and built the original did it all by hand, they did all the math by hand they did all of this by pure skill and intelligence. They were a different breed back then.

Absolutely incredible! To have made this on your own from plans, just blows me away! great job for keeping the past alive! These are the kind of things our great grand children will never know about if it wasn't for people like you!

Imagine loving old iron soooooo much that you buy. And operate a foundry and keep everyone employed !! I am so jealous of kory!!🇺🇸💪

I've seen video of that machine in action before, and I thought it was so awesome, I sent it to all my friends. I had no idea it was actually built in the 21st century though, and that is nothing short of amazing. Great work to the builder, and you have some real respect from me for bringing something none of us had ever seen outside of black and white pictures, back to life, from nothing more than some old plans in a basement somewhere.

Modern Tractors: "Steam is obsolete!" Case 150: "Hold my beer."

That's amazing. In the beginning when the narrator said he has an interview with the guy who built it, I was thinking 're-built it' . . . . . then while the camera is showing the thing in motion, I was thinking there must not be too many left, wouldn't that be cool if someone (with lots of money) could get the plans and build these things . . . . . holy crap HE DID! I can't believe it.

Had this randomly pop up in my feed. Still amazed that we left this life style so fast in the past. Nice to see people with the means to keep it alive.

That's incredible. There is something to be said, about the power of steam.

What an absolutely majestic beast of history. And it's probably easier to repair / more reliable than any of today's tractors.

I am thankful he did this. We have lost far too much to history and "progress". The time may come when this technology will be needed again, PRESERVE IT.

No drama, just go. Never slipped. bogged, nothing - like it's not even back there. Amazing.

I'm sitting here giggling at how much simple, non-computerized, steam power is being applied and how many people are capable of being fed by every foot this beast moves forward.

Awesome. Glad people like Kory, your grandpa, Jake and you are around to keep our history alive. Thanks!

so cool, makes me wish i could go back in time and see something like this in its hay day and simpler times

When they started to lower the plows, and he throttled up I had a bad case of major goose bumps!!! WOW!! And THANKYOU 😃

What absolutely awesome machine! The power of stream fascinates to no end. Thanks for videoing that beautiful machine doing what it was designed to do back at the beginning of the 20th century'

Simply incredible the power that traction engine has. And she sounds great. Long Live STEAM!

Hats of to the constructor, amazing to see this come to life again. And that there is an abundance in society today to privately put together such an amazing steam machine.

Speaking about "torque"... This thing is a monster!

I wouldn't have believed it unless I seen it .The power of steam was truly amazing

Jon thanks for sharing this video and interviewing Kory. He seems very humble for what he accomplished!!!! Very much an engineering marvel. Hope to make your show next year.

I'm glad technology has advanced, but steam traction engines are in my top 10 list of most awsome human built things ever.

Those steam engines have just an INCREDIBLE amount of torque do they not?!?! What an AMAZING machine!!! What are you guys going to try to pull next? Trains? LOL I mean - that thing pulled that plow LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!! Simply amazing....

The “case” for Case steam powered engine equipment.I love everything about this type of engineering and those who are dedicated to keeping the industry alive.Thank You!!

Hello neighbor, from over here in Freeburg. Glad you finally got out to see the 10th wonder of the world. Amazing what a few country boys can do when they get their hand on a few wrenches! We've known Kory for many years and he never ceases to amaze me, recall when he first got those blue prints, this went faster that I ever dreamed of considering all his other endeavours. He recast parts for our big Oil Pull as well while building this. All I've ever heard over the years from all those old time Case Collectors is how it could never be recreated and all the supposed bigger than life myths of this legendary monster, and how the last remaing parts slipped through their hands and were scrapped because of inaction from those same experts and then cried about it for the past 60 yrs, but no one ever got serious about it. That is until this young man did something about it! As to all the speculation about the capabilities of originals, I think that Kory has proven that the machine performs better than even the most ardent believer could have imagined.

Thank you so much for the great video and letting us hear this great machine.

The future is the past. Get your friends and kids and plow the earth with this machine. An invention that could last generation to generation. Truly inspiring.

The fact that *They* did exist, but none survived, and here almost 100 years later it was recreated especially when you think of it the design of steam tractors was almost 160 years ago, shows that we can adapt like that and still bring it back to life. 2 years is extremely good with the help of 3D modeling. Very very well-talented men in its day, it would've been MONSTEROUS! HOLY JESUS a 44 Bottom. Could ya imagine the Pulling torque!?

What an absolute treat to watch. This video has just made my day. All Corey has to do now is to add some hydraulic... oops err steam pipes to the tractor to make the plough blades go up and down. That way he won't need such a big work force standing on top of it.

The sheer size and power of this Big Behemoth you would have to see to believe, the load it is pulling is HUGE it could care not less listen to the exhaust it has not changed it is not bothered by the 44 bottom plows!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing it.

I'm sitting here with a blown mind knowing the insane amount of power it takes to turn that much soil, and then it gets blown again because the Case doesn't even act like it's straining. I bet she could handle 44 more!

I remember seeing many of these steam tractors at an event in Oklahoma when I was just a wee tot. I was amazed then and I am still amazed at the power and engineering of these machines. Simply incredible that this man took the interest and fortitude to build this relic from scratch. Truly commendable. Steam is so powerful. I believe that with what is happening in the world, steam will once again be a mainstay of propulsion.

Shows what real pulling is all about no spinning tires and a lot of noise just raw power!

Torque, massive, unstoppable, loads of torque... Amazing...congrats...

I love these machines, I’ve been to a couple of steam tractor shows and it never gets old watching these things work.

Oh the days when safety was your own responsibility. Sitting right next to massive gears spinning at a few hundred rpm. No wonder so many people were missing limbs.

Wow! That was a treat to watch.

Thank you for the great work Sir

My hand broke watching you shake hands with Mr. Anderson, his forearms are massive! Such a cool plow and incredible tractor, thanks for sharing with us!

You did an amazing job of capturing that absolutely amazing machine. I really enjoyed hearing how it was built. The pure power of it and yet how quite it was is so cool. Thanks for sharing this. 👍

No idea how I ran across this! (fell down the RU-vid rabbit hole...again...) I'm in awe....the machine...the craftsmanship...everything! Must go find more!!

Looks like a real American man building up a terrific part of history! Our schoolboys today should see this machine in operation! Get their head out of their Smart Phones so much!

You can tell that guy works hard for a living, his arms are massive.

With that many men on the plow I would think that they could have had a perfectly straight headland. Great job regardless.👍👍

Wow, what an amazing tractor! Thanks for the video.

So incredibly impressive seeing this obvious antique machine pulling such ridiculous numbers, so amazing

WONDERFULL THAT THIS CAN BE DONE TODAY

If all computers ever went down, most people would starve because nowadays it takes one person to do twice the amount of work.

She's a work of art in steel and steam. Outstanding work building her.

Woooow! What a beast! It didn't even break a sweat! Just full regulator and send it in a powerful chuging sound!🤯

Love it. I've never seen anything like this in Australia.

hi from france jon renner, incredible machine ..... a very nice video, with the drive mechanism that you filmed, crazy power! thank you again to you

Pure American History that helped get work done and get us to where we are today.

This is the only demonstration of torque that anyone needs.

I swear to God that thing was accelerating. Amazing.

Cool to see this. We have a steam engine and antique tractor museum in Jacksonville Illinois that will be having their annual steam show this weekend. Its so cool, but the old guys that keep this stuff running are dying off and few young guys are willing to take it on.

Gentlemen, this beautiful machine feels like a personal gift. Thanks for those two well spent years.

It’s beautiful and amazing at the same time. It doesn’t even sound like it’s working hard, just cruising along. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like they finally gave The Beast a REAL work out!

Very Very cool video. Love that big Case. We have lots of different models of steamers (JI Case and others) that run at Thresherman's Reunion in Austin, Manitoba, Canada. Thx for making it.

Love it! Work of art.

Thanks for posting this video, incredible story!!!!

This was back when Tier -4 emissions controls first started coming out

Humans are amazing, can you imagine a man from 1910 watching this with his jaw on the floor!

This is so Awesome. A true Builder.

Beautiful! Great work and dedication!!

It was awesome to meet you yesterday and thanks for coming out to small town South Dakota. I wished we would oh had more time to visit but you drove 12 to see that massive machine. Your drone video is totally awesome and did great job on Kory’s interview. Hope to see you back at Andover again.

WOW!

Very very cool machine. Thanks for presenting it to us. Incredible.

And the safety valve popped twice while pulling 44 bottoms. This beast is not going to run out of steam. Superb!

I've seen a couple videos on that engine it's absolutely mind blowing the way that tractor came out and how much power that thing has. I feel they could put more bottoms behind it yet but that's still very impressive. That plow setup is wider then my chisel plow and it pulled it very well

In the old days, farming must have been a huge community event, like this, lots of people would have come and got together to help. Now it's done by one guy in a tractor or combine and a few workers. A lot of things have lost their community spirit in helping.

Absolutely amazing!

RESPECT! What an undertaking, thanks for having the gumption to take on this project and bring it to such a marvelous conlcusoin!

That would be so cool to have that tractor at the next 100 years of horsepower! Hopefully that could happen, but SD is a long haul...

My first thought upon reading the tittle was “that has to be one massive drawbar!” Now I just wonder how many acres it takes to turn that rig around.

These guys should have done a huge video series on the construction of that steam tractor alone - that would have garnered a ton of views and subs.

Great video, thanx for the time and effort.😃

Something to be said for locomotive type designs, whether it be diesel or steam. The steam design is not practical or sustainable, but it is very impressive how much they were able to do with it.

ITS amazing ..so beautyfull ... imagine put a modern tractor to that plough... I Think it will not make it ... I like your video so much . Thanks .Michell. norway 😊👍🚜

Just incredible! Nicely done.

That was an incredible showing of world record-breaking steam power. Amazing. Well filmed too. Thanks guys.
