(Draft Article) Steam Tractors were the forerunner to the modern Diesel Engined tractor. The first steam tractors were built by blacksmiths as an adoption of the Portable Steam Engine, used to drive stationary machinery, and towed about by a team of horses. Early Steam Tractors were used to drive stationary machinery, like threshers and rolling mills. Similar methods were used to dredge the lakes at the large Estates, using 2 Engines and winches to pull a dredger box or blade through the lake to haul out the sludge.
