110HP Case Steam Tractor Pull Pinckneyville Illinois August 15 2014

UPDATE!!
Some information about the engine from the owner Josh Maschhoff: "We run at 150 psi.
The Engine weighs around 42500lbs loaded with coal and water.
Torque is 3000 ft lbs at 240 rpm
The sled was definitely weighted and i know from experience first hand that the engine can drag the sled with the weight box all the way up and the bars dropped."

Don't worry about the fire hazard. What you see is a very exaggerated amount of burning embers coming from the smokestack. The sparks are created as a night spectacle for entertainment. Before this pull, sawdust was added to the firebox to enhance the night "spark show." Having said that back in the day there was always a risk of fire. There was less of a risk during plowing season. The highest risk was during harvest when the steam engines returned to the fields to thresh (separate) the grain from their stalks, in typically dry fields. Weeks before the steam engines arrived the grain was cut and bundled by binders. These mechanized machines looked the front of modern "combines" but binders only cut and a bound the grain. The crops were cut close to the ground by the binder leaving the grain (heads) connected to the shaft. These bundles were approximately 8" in diameter and were about 3' tall. After the crops were cut, these bundles were stacked in small piles called "shocks." These shocks contained maybe 7 to 12 bundles and scattered all over the field. The shocks were left in the field until the grain was dry enough to separate. The threshermen traveled from farm to farm to thresh each farmers grain. Most individual farmers could not afford a steam traction engine so the threshermen provided this service to the farmer. On threshing day wagons were brought to the field and would load the shocks of grain and haul it to the threshing machine where it was placed quite a distance (and upwind) from the steam engine that provided the power for the machine to do its work. The steam engine provided power to the threshing machine via an extremely long belt to keep any embers away from the dry chaff and straw that was separated from the grain. The shock piles of crop were gathered as they were needed and not all gathered up and piled in one place at one time. That way, if there was a fire it would be small and contained to a small portion of the harvest and not all of it. The steam engines were also outfitted spark arresters while threshing. Not to mention these steam engines required water so water was generally available should a fire break out. Also the steam engines would burn the straw which was waste from process of threshing the grain.
The reason they needed steam whistles was to communicate with the people working in the fields along with the steam engine. Even when plowing they had crew literally riding on the plow to lower and lift the plows in and out of the ground. When the engine was used for threshing, they communicated with everyone in the field, whether it be people operating the threshing machine or the wagons to bring grain to be threshed. Also, they would signal when they were starting or stopping the thresher. They would indicate when it was time to come to work, stop for lunch and finally when the work day was completed. Here are some examples of the codes they used for communicating.
One long = Morning, stop for meal or end of day.
One long with three short= water needed
One short pause one short= Go ahead, commence work
Three medium = Grain wagon call
Two long = Work day done , Job completed
One short= Stop threshing
Four medium= Moving out, crew call
One long, three short= water call
One long, three short,one long= Runaway team
Three short rapid blasts = Fire or emergency distress
Today's Emergency whistle signals should be known to all engineers, directors, show announcers, first aid personals, fire and ambulance.
One long,three short , one long is well known run away team(s) to be heard by neighbors to look out.
Also these codes were used by trains in the train yards not just at railroad crossings. Ships still use similar codes to this day.
One day, I hope to make a video of these separate processes that is now preformed by a single combine.
As for now, if you watch the movie "Of Mice and Men" with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich you can see threshing in action.
I have posted another video of it that includes three synchronized videos that were shot from three different angles that night. (One angle is shot from a drone flying high in the air that can be spotted above the engine towards the end of this video. If you liked this video surely you would like that video even more. • 3 ANGLES 110HP Case St...

For those interested in knowing a little more about the science behind this, I'll explain a bit about the torque of a steam engine. Steam engines and a DC electric motor are the only two power sources that have 100% torque output at 0 RPM. For a steam engine, this is because the piston is pushed by steam, which is an expansive power source. When the engine is idling at about 250 RPM, the governor that controls the flow of steam to the engine is not very far open, and the steam in the cylinders are not using a lot of the expansive force of steam, as it is in and out of the cylinder so fast. As a load is aplied to the engine, the RPMs will fall off slightly and the governor will open up, supplying the cylinder with more steam. Eventually, the RPMs will fall enough to a point that the governor is just wide open, allowing 100% flow to the engine. This point would be the maximum horsepower point of the engine. This engine was rated from the factory as 110 HP at around 250 RPM. At that RPM range, it can put out around 3,000 lb/ft of torque. From that point on, as the load is increased, the engine RPMs will start to drop off, using the longer time in the cylinder to get more expansive force out of the steam. This leads to the horsepower dropping off, but the torque continuing to increase. The engine will continue to make less horsepower and more torque until it gets down to 0 RPM. At that point, the steam in the cylinder is applying maximum expansive force on the face of the piston. In other words words, 100% potential torque, but no horsepower, as horsepower is dependent upon a motion variable. I hope that makes sense. I tried to keep it all as simple as I could.

[@chris-earldookie5014]

Torque= hp x 5252 ÷ rpm So for zero rpm 577,720 foot pounds before the gearbox.

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

Basically a steam engine is 100% efficient, unlike every other internal combustion engine that came after it. They were called road locomotives for a reason, they were phased out because 1 they were too powerful to be off of rails, as described by an engineer in the 1870’s, and 2 they were so efficient that hardly any cost would run them. and 3 they were so cumbersome, and required so much maintenance to keep them operating. Then you always have the risk of boiler explosions, and it’s not an easy thing to operate. Using these to farm with was hard to do, not just anyone could run them, and you had to have two people at all times to run it one running the engine and one to keep the fire in the burn box going. They ran on either coal or wood. They ran the best on coal cause it burns the hottest but in a pinch it’ll run on wood at a reduced power level. Nowadays coal is so expensive and harder to come by they run them on wood. Nowadays you also have to have a boiler license, and they have to be inspected annually.

I suspect the max torque could be much higher than 600,000 ftlbs just before the boiler explodes and the 250 rpm is top speed, lol.

[@jameshall3371]

the stock spark arrestor has been removed. This would normally not emit this kind of visible burning ash. They provide a function but also reduce overall power as the airflow leaving the stack and the steam along with it provide an induced draft in the firebox which increases heat and thus generated steam. This is common practice when power and efficiency is prized over environmental concerns like setting the ditch on fire.

One of those was a vehicle used to tow tanks and other heavy equipment. Ona Saturday night, when the heaviest class of farm tractor pulled, 15,000 lbs, the Army wanted to show off. With the sled still loaded and geared for those 15,000 lb tractors, the tow vehicle was hooked up to it.

PHDarren, 100+ yr old 110HP steam tractor beats the 600+HP Super Diesel truck.

Sled clearly wasn't pulling any true weight. It would be embarrassed by the other trucks with over 1,000lbs of torque

[@danfuller06]

The sled suppose to move forward as being pulled increasing the load and gets harder to pull. Clearly in the video the sled never moves once so no load or weight was being applied

@@danfuller06 So you're blind? YOU SEE THE WEIGHT MOVING FORWARD IN THE VIDEO.

Is he just going to take the sled home with him?

[@Cragified]

Irony is these large traction engines by CASE were used mostly to haul timber sleds or large heavy materials on stoneboats. In other words it was made exactly to pull a very heavy sled digging into the ground XD.
