Don’t see many of them out side New Zealand . First one i have seen with holes drilled in the base . I have 3 of the horizontal ones and 1 vertical here . The mamod burner is a bit much for it .

It's definitely worth a visit! I'm planning to take some of my stationary steam engines down and plug them in to their steam line at one of their steam ups, I'm sure your S Type plant etc would be of interest to them too.

one would think it would be more economical (or at least faster) if each engine just pulled a plow behind it and worked like normal tractors

@SteamandThings 29 күн бұрын

For British soil, the traction engines really were too heavy. These engines could comfortably pull a 7 or 8 furrow plough so would plough at 3 or 4 times the rate we are with the little two furrow plough shown. Small engines were tried for direct ploughing as you describe but it never really caught on.

@HaddaClu 28 күн бұрын

@@SteamandThings Thank you; I was going to ask the same thing. Here in the States we have so many pictures (and even to this day re-enactments) of steam tractors pulling the ploughs behind them. I know you say the British soil is too soft; but it doesnt seem all the different in quality from where I grew up in Central Pennsylvania. There was a Mennonite family that had a Peerless steam engine, and used it on their farm for plowing and threshing. It was also a regular sight at the county's summer steam traction festival.

I wonder how many horsepower, this has many current day applications in an era of power shortages, blackouts, and high costs-It could drive a large generator. (bing copilot AI) "The Fowler BB1 ploughing engine is a remarkable piece of machinery. Let’s delve into its details: The Fowler BB1 is a two-cylinder compound engine that was manufactured between 1919 and the early 1930s. Despite its relatively small scale and high attractiveness, it packs a punch as a powerful and rugged two-speed model. Here are some key specifications: Length: Approximately 46 inches. Weight: A hefty 240 pounds. Boiler Diameter: 5 inches. Operating Pressure: 75 psi. This engine was a favorite for many model enthusiasts, especially at the 1:6 scale described by John Haining and Colin Tyler in the 1960s. It’s no wonder that it continues to captivate enthusiasts at exhibitions, as demonstrated by Jack Brundsdon’s showcase at the 2015 Bristol Exhibition1. Now, let’s put its power into perspective. Imagine a pair of these ploughing engines working together. They could plough an astounding 40 acres per day, operating seven days a week. That’s a ninety-fold increase compared to what a man and a horse could achieve in the same time! Truly a testament to engineering prowess and efficiency2. So, while I can’t provide an exact horsepower figure for the Fowler BB1, its impact on productivity speaks volumes. 🚜💨"

Considering how few farms actually employed a Steam tractor, they really had very few impacts, it was not until the big tractor wars of the 1920s and 1930s that tractors were finally replacing the horse. And even then, it took until 1960s to finally see tractors become a commodity worldwide, even in the 1950s america, farmers were still using horses for most tasks. A tractor was just too much of an investment, while a horse could be bred and fed on the farm, but seeing how high tech Steam could make a farm over 100 times more productive in the 1850s, is in itself remarkable, in the UK they used large pulley systems powered by a central steam engine to pull plow through the field back and forth, expensive to setup but still cheaper than Steam traction engines.

In the past, wind powered toys were also very popular. The simpler ones used a propeller driven crank to provide movement. i.e.. two boxers lunging at each other; a horse's legs and head moving, etc. Some of the more complex one's were very intricate. ⚓⛵

Where do he get the threshing machine at 1:29? Does anyone know if they're being produced, if so, where, or did he make this? If so, would he sell the plans? I think that if one were to mass produce these that actually worked, even assisted by hidden batteries, one could hardly keep up with demand, for saw mills and threshing machines are in very short supply and I'm sure there is a pent up demand. How about 3D printing parts to be assembled?
