2021 RECORD! 150 CASE Road Locomotive pulling 44 bottom John Deere plow

Watch the 150 Case pull 44 bottom John Deere plows at the James Valley Threshing Show in Andover, South Dakota! This is a new record for this engine with 36 bottoms being plowed in 2020. We are so excited to share some footage!

Steam Power is way underrated

[@akulkis]

@@randomuser4201 A 2 cylinder steam engine is much more powerful than a 4-stroke engine with the same displacement. Typically equivalent to an 8-cylinder 4-stroke, and with far, far better torque at low speeds all the way down to 0 RPM, whereas 4-stroke engines can barely operate below 1000 rpm without stalling dead, whereupon the 4-stroker immediately produces zero torque, whereas the steam engine can continue to produce torque all the way down to 0 RPM or even being forced into reverse.

I used to go to the Steam Show in Barlow Ohio as a kid back in the 70's. There were nearly a dozen different models of the Case Traction steam engines there. It was amazing to see these survivors from a by-gone era still doing the jobs they did nearly 100 years before. I remember a hay baler that was operated at the show and it produced the heaviest bales of hay or straw I've ever seen, they weighed well over 100 pounds. The steam press on the baler applied so much pressure, it actually compacted the hay into a bale that was so dense you could hardly move it. Such truly amazing machines with really intricate gearing that produced incredible amounts of torque. They got the job done. Great to see you're keeping this rare piece of America's past alive.

@Schiefe Ebene get the blueprints and most of it's a little blacksmith work and plumbing or you could cheat and weld instead of rivet it together gears pistons and a flywheel and a KS farmer and his son who was running it for the video built it while he was growing up so he knows every inch of it now I'm sure his kids will too growing up helping with maintenance and repairs on it I can't remember the cost I was in my teens when I got the grand tour and they gave the hrs it took over the years and cost but most things were salvaged from other steam engines but it wasn't crazy expensive according to my dad

The amount of power being produced by this *SINGLE CYLINDER* steam engine is phenomenal!! This is the result of 180 lbs. of steam pressure acting on a double-sided 14 inch piston with a 14 inch stroke. 2 speeds forward... slow and slower! (actually about 5.7 mph. in high gear, and 2.6 mph. in low) That said, with the amount of gearing, it produces over 8000 ft. lbs. of torque at the wheels! This is the equivalent output of 8 - 2021 Dodge/Cummins turbo diesels running at full power @ 1800 rpm.!! This tractor does this at 200 rpm. at crank speed and probably with quite a bit less noise.😁👍

[@Pattyboytheking]

Thanks for the information!! Much appreciated.!!!

[@asbestosfiber]

compare that to some of the early fuel tractors at 50 or less Hp.

[@EETechs]

The 2021 Cummins has way more power. This case is only 150 HP and of course with hydraulic drive or low gearing, the 2021 Cummins wins against the steam engine in this Case tractor for pulling too. Gearing and hydraulics can change torque in the formula, power = torque*RPM. SO many people seem to forget that.

Amazing steam engines! Back in 1989, fate brought me to a Siberian village remote from civilization. A very beautiful village, wooden log houses on a high ground floor made of wild stone. The entire yard is covered with a huge roof under which hay for the cows is stored. Amazingly beautiful carved frames around the windows! There, for the first time, I saw steam engines at a sawmill. In general, this village survived solely due to the forest. There is a local narrow-gauge railway around the village, which was used exclusively by steam locomotives. And on the edge of the village there were workshops in which lumber was dried and stored. Well, the heart of it all was a huge steam engine, powered by wood chips and pine branches. Driven by a long wide belt.... Nearby are pieces of rosin, which were lightly covered with the belt for better adhesion. I remembered this place for the rest of my life as a monument to a bygone era.

[@jannejohansson3383]

That power sounds like some instrument (music).. not anything like ROAAARRR!!! It didn't surprise if it's hydraulic driven, but at the time, gears and belts (chains too) used. Does it have just some 2 or 3 speeds? I could imagine it have backwards 2 speed and 4 to front or then it's really some oil turbine torque converter, still I can't think that option for this. Convert heats when you have something like this. Electric drivedrain and it same time do much more would be best even simplest way to made, but again, no change it would be the case in here. Because it drives so clean, this is finest what I have see ever AND it could made real job efficiency. If you don't have right to repair your own machines, this would be impossible. Nice thing it's museum quality, could function still for real jobs and not going to run away because scared what they thinking to install back of it. Those metal wheels could maybe pack the soil less than rubber ones, so wide and equality take grip. Gummy tire "rolls" because air or water inside and it could press eart more, because side of tire tracks are (not sidewalls) are shorter (r) and then middle section press soil sometimes unpleasant.

[@rajisg]

The mechanical engineering in this is still exquisite! 💛 I guess back when people did engineering out of a major passion for it instead of because they wanted a certain career, those older folk truly progressed and pushed the field for all of humanity :)

[@kenbearsley8322]

The sounds of that engine is absolute beautiful. The smell of it, the earth being plowed would be wonderful. Could listen and smell that all day and never get sick of it. When the camera operator stood on the back, it sounded like the engine was nicely ticking over at idle speed barely struggling, working.

Exactly. They had hard lives and lived close top a hand-to-mouth existence. Very little food was wasted. Look at us today, Covid has slightly affected the supply chain and people bitch if their specific fave type of strawberries aren't plentiful. I love taking internet-raised kids to steam museums, it amazes them. Jan Leno described showing modern kids thru his car collection. He took the interior paneling off a car door and showed them the pre-electric rack & pinion device for raising & lowering the window. Said they were utterly rapt, playing with it for an hour.
