Heavily loaded traction engine

[tweetercat2]

screw the EPA and any tree huger that says anything bad bout steam powered machines if it wasnt for the steam machine then we would have nothing this day and age me personally i love steam oil, coal, wood burners let the black smoke fly cause the envioment is in great shape. the enviroment WILL heal itself and will overcome anything its up against if anyone wants to talk write me on facebook

[keetonbob]

What an Age that would have been to see.

[yerfdog95]

wait.....steam is bad for the environment.....DOES THIS MEAN I CANT EAT RAMEN NOODLES ANYMORE?

[Squarerig]

I am grateful that so many men and women continue to restore and run these old machines.This entails a hell of a lot of hard work and elbow grease..

[goldie103103]

I think i might have this, has it also got the load know as "Oliver's Lunch Box " on it?

[hartleymartin]

You've got to love the shot with the bobby on the bike leading the escort!

[gsarjos]

i'd love to see these trolling on down I75 thru atlanta in rush hour

[wackymac28]

i love this old equipment. its really cool

[4mulas]

at that time a 18 wheeler may seem a UFO... :)

[PGS4038]

is D-O-Y priming or burning grass?

[bbjoshua]

Yrs ago, it wasn't like every farmer had one of these things, not at all, there were threshing crews and they often went from farm to farm with the same machines and what is more natural then wood or coal smoke, if a volcano erupts how much toxic pollution is force into the air, how many man made plants and companies are polluting like crazy, these machines not even a fraction and yes some is black steam some engines forced steam with smoke out the stacks.

@bbjoshua

Let see people share cars like they used to hire steam traction engines only when the harvest was in or when the fields needed plowing.

You should see how much energy is consumed and polution created just to keep buildings cool in the summer.

They didn't have airconditioning back then. Are people willing to give up cars and airconditioning?

Trains are more eco friendly than everybody driving a car to work, but I don't see a big drive to build public transportation.....

[bbjoshua]

@bakersvideo not getting your point exactly, though I agree with ya, but at the time when these great beasts of iron once did their work, it's not near as what we have today, just a fraction. That being said, I do know the energy that is used today, I live among the power plants here in the dakotas, the coal being used and such, just so you and I can turn our lights on and airconditoning wasn't around back then, so there wasn't that choice then. Trains are great too, but so is our history.

[bbjoshua]

@bakersvideo I'm not advocating pollution friend, don't imply this to my comment, but I've been around these old machines, and wood or coal is used, not refined oil and gas or diesel, maybe a lesser pollution, but I'd rather have a forest fire, God forbid, then an oil refinery up in flames, which is better?

[thra5herxb12s]

This is good pollution,Smoking is bad pollution.

[RazzlePlatinum]

how do they steer the wheels look wobbly

[FrancissS89]

This is Euro 6 :)) Incredible torque...

[WormsEatMyGarbage]

Black steam ? lol

[sktebrder24]

if i see another person complain about air pollution on utube i am going to my back yard to start a bonfire with old tires then ill start every machine i own and let them idle all night when i go to bed.

[2005Danimal]

@sktebrder24 Hahaha this made my week!!!!!!!!!! thanks man

[kyleisreallycool]

@sktebrder24 THE STEAM IS KILLING THE POLAR BEARS!!!

[NetoriusNapster]

@kyleisreallycool grow a pair it is the worlds heritage

[kyleisreallycool]

@NetoriusNapster grow a sarcasm detector

[jamesandrew2000]

......aliens built the pyramids.

[peterfarrow]

@jamesandrew2000

get out more...

[MrStroked351]

they all have slick wheels?!?!

[Axbent]

@MrStroked351 for road use rubberized wheels were popular, for plowing the rim would be bear wrought iron with treads.

[tomwendel1957]

watch that water level boys

[ford9572]

LOVE those old steamers!!!!

[lexander5]

cool. love these crane traction engines.

[buntik1687]

Actually in Alaska and some parts of Canada, trucks haul heavy loads the same way.

[7777dmith7777]

5:23 HAHAHAAHa Holy smokes.. Imagine downtown NY city if everyone drove one of those !!! LOL!!!

[gunny556fly]

well there tractors not cars and if you had a steamer like these you had on heck of a farm lol

[SydneyTrainDriver]

Ha! its even being banked from the rear!

[SydneyTrainDriver]

I've seen triple header steam locomotive hauled trains, now THIS!! Bloody marvellous.

[NathansBackwoods]

now thats a road train

[Strula7820]

they only burn wood for about 20 mins to start the fire from cold! but when hauling things like this they burn coal because it gives more heat for a longer period of time! providing the pressure to rise quicker!

[LukeXgamer]

YES! WE KNOW! THANKS! BYE!

[tractoral]

But They can burn wood

[GWR4079]

no because you will need 3 times the amount of wood you will need to burn 1 tonne coal

[Strula7820]

they are not burning fuck*ng wood its coal i work on them machines and they all burn coal!!!!

[DAKOTA56777]

Not American ones they burn wood.

[GuyPyro87]

All this talk about "pollution" is really getting old. I find it weird how I'm one of an apparent "handfull" of poeple who actually know that the planet is simply going through another one of its stages where everything starts to get colder in winter and hotter in summer and the o-zone starts to go away and blah blah blah.. Think of it like your temporary internet files. Every now and then your comp gets slow, so you delete them and start fresh. It's gonna happen whether we help it or not.

[dixiegurl2303]

@GuyPyro87 im one of them that know that

[GuyPyro87]

@dixiegurl2303 Good! One down, 6.8+ billion to go.. lol

[ImLivinLaughinLovin]

they are burning wood. even if it were coal its less pollution than your car

[GWR4079]

they are not buring wood because they are british steam engine!!

[kefsound]

@ImLivinLaughinLovin less than a car? You sure know what you are talking about.

[thersnomorecoolnames]

or wood

[Spillimacheen]

It is something that they would pull/push such loads thru the smoke boxes, boiler shells and fireboxes of following engines putting strain on their plates and rivets.

[thersnomorecoolnames]

its not polluting the air its steam dumbass

[PwahTube]

Yes but what are they burning in their fire.

Coal.

[nikolapavo]

@thersnomorecoolnames yes because it burns coal

[idontcare80]

@thersnomorecoolnames Steam engines burn some kind of fuel (coal, wood, oil, etc) to make steam dumbass.

Either way, a little pollution is well worth seeing these things run.

[peterfarrow]

recorded at the great Dorset steam fair...

[hiyadroogs]

Then stop breathing & having kids!

[sasho54]

Right. But this pollution is an effect, smaller than the pedagogical benefit.

[dixiegurl2303]

@romahahaha its not pollution its steam dumbass
