(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.

  • (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. Early ploughing engines worked in pairs and pulled a large multi furrowed balance plough between them, by a long winch cable, with a machine stood at each side of a field. This was due to the weight of the machines being so high that they would bog down in the field if they tried to drive up and down. 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.
