How to plough with a pair of steam ploughing engines

[@titaniumman1493]

For some strange reason, I find this much more entertaining than watching TV.

Interesting! Is this really how early steam tractor ploughing worked? So, pulling a plough behind the tractor was a later evolution of this?

[@BrokenIET]

The idea of pulling the plough behind a tractor existed, but only in the US really. This is because the US had harder soil which could take the weight of a heavy traction engine, but most of the world had softer soil so this was the only way to do it before vehicles with internal combustion engines existed, which were a lot lighter and could therefore be used even on soft ground.

Nice method! ! but there was no danger that the steel cable would break causing damage to drivers?

I've watched steam ploughing for years and each engine usually gives a "toot" when it's safe to start the run back to the other engine,, i did not hear that happen here?

neil delaney you are correct I think there was a toot but I think it was lost between my editing and my camera microphone quality
