The EPA would fine you or put you in prison.

[flammabletube]

AWESOME great stuff

[djmz1969]

LOVE IT...........

[xxpathexx]

man I love it

[minilandrover]

wonderful traction engines, but number two did not look like he was doing much

[JAMEBBN]

now i know wy the wolrd is hottest

[SittingMooseShaman]

...there's so much torque-to-tractive-effort bein' produced here... ...that the earth had stalled for a few moments in her revolution...

[brianradomski]

where is this???

[cgwry7]

Looks like, "the little engine that could"... Did !

[O7ROADKING]

these beauty's were built back when men were men.and there was no such thing as a hand out. very nice

[anapeg100]

Gear down GEAR DOWN!!

[amedeo291]

Beautiful video !!!

[eifelanner]

Tolles Video!!!

[mrBelfegorr]

crazy as hell

[tokodan]

literally a road train

[ClassicCountryBoy1]

ive rode in one of those!

[Roachland]

thank you . very nice '! love steam

[MrMixedGas]

Chugga-Chugga-Chugga-Chugga-Ch­­ugga- gives me a stiffy

[CTslash234]

first ever tractor trailer lmao

[Arthur61987]

so that's where clouds come from.

[dmonat]

The other interesting thing is, back in the day, it cost about $1.00 / hour to do the job.

[b2lee2]

This is so beautiful. What a site to have been around to see these first rolling around making things possible! Cool!

[uratrick]

beautiful

[llib245]

do these truckers also know everything?

[Motaro76]

When the oil finish, such things turn back

[litningrod74]

They were tremendously efficient at using their power source, steam. It was simply not very energy efficient to make the steam.

[Potatonaught]

land train? land train

[mountfields]

In practice, a steam engine exhausting the steam to atmosphere will have an efficiency between 5% - 8%, ( An automobile engine will work at about 25-28%).

[Nza420]

@mountfields i did not know that. i always heard they were more efficient than most engines, but obviously, that is if the steam is not vented.

[BestVideoResponse]

Didn't expect to see this.

[Teratop]

nice convoy

[creativenoiseartist]

do föt musi...=)

[dixiegurl2303]

now this is pure POWER!

[mestreshow]

AWESOME!!!!

[Peto961]

Coooooooooool

[Lotum4n]

Kids the circus has come to town and its being set up at the Huterite colony get your wooden clogs and lets head out there for some good old cabbage throw competition .

Yea Ha !!

[munteanuioan]

blown the horn man,blow the horn

[lucianocowboylfd]

*****Stars... very, very, nice... congratulations... 

[otrovi1998]

hahahahaha

[eumegaf]

I like this

[mudylafeet]

awesome, them were the days!

[WTFuRdum]

are these people amish or something?

[GavinS1965]

@WTFuRdum Amish?Haha!This is Dorset,England,m'dear,where I come from!

[J12345cat]

@WTFuRdum Amish are not even this advanced

[MXHondas230]

haha, the oldenday 18 wheeler!

[DevinL16]

now thats torque!

[ROCKSOLID19]

can one of these haul a steam train up a fairly small incline????

[nUaSvAy]

Chugga-Chugga-Chugga-Chugga-Ch­ugga-Chugga-Chugga-Chugga-Chug­ga-Chugga-Chugga-Chugga-Chugga­-Chugga-Chugga

=D

[luismasseyf]

@nUaSvAy The best coment if i have see!!! KKKKKKKKK

[peepeevagi]

Just goes to show that the old road train method still works.

[MyDavid1960]

nice...love it...is the second tractor on brake?.....lol

[bigboy4016]

Sweet.

[carmatic]

steampunk , oh yes

[krissemissen]

wOw very cool!!!!

[grockerxxl]

WOW, Heavy Metal!!!!

[Bidone1967]

Wow. Thats steam power!

Thanks for sharing.

[Hypsan]

You don't see THAT everyday!! Awesome!!

[Skoda130]

HELLFIRE!!!

[RoyRu85]

Cool, you can almost count the revs :P

[cmsch180]

Very nice

[placesigopeopleimeet]

coool

[85C10CHEVY]

very cool

[justforever96]

So that's a traction engine, eh?

[BlakeMason2]

Very cool. That's how they did it in the late 1800's through probably the 1920's. Engine #2 had no black smoke. Interesting.

[BadFlicks]

spose i now know why they call em tractor trailers

[eclipse11145]

wat year was tht 1?

[herbienbrian]

WOW, fasinating!

[spqpbpcp]

bike jump

[lelispg]

muito legal

[midgetcogger]

very cool nice video

[IMINYOURWIFE2]

Proper job !!

[gangesexcavating]

Thats pretty cool! I'm into this! Would be cool seeing a Komatsu 400 excavator on, going up three switchbacks in a road! LOL just add on more engines! good post! when you you run out of fuel just stop and cut up a couple of trees on the roadside and yer good to go!

[GayBoyRunning]

= Be Beace i have search up on the net that is guy try to bulid a steam bomb as well Today they still u Steam Engines for Fright Ships !!

[im1469]

uh, thats because they are nuclear powered, which is little more than updated steam power. Just doesn't use coal or wood for heat.

[GayBoyRunning]

Umm steam it much more Powerful then Nuclear an all was will b

[karstin30]

what a piece of scrapmetal

[Snedger]

Amazing that loads like this could be moved with a bit of steam technology,coal and wood - all available under our feet . Have we gone wrong somewhere?

[4093979240]

yes....at least i believe we have!

albeit a bit slow,these things have the power to turn your home into a steam powered rv!

[caravans2]

there cant be many of them cool low loaders about

[mountfields]

slow, dirty, inefficient, smelly things, WONDERFULL!!!!

[glfan896]

:)!!!

[generalleejesse]

@mountfields ineffcient!!??!?!? them thiings will pull a 20 bottom plow well not the ones in this video but a 120hp case steam engine will the biggest johndeere will only pull an 18 bottom so haha i win

[Nza420]

@mountfields wrong, steam engines are VERY efficient.

[woodscritter]

@Nza420 What is your definition of efficient? They are much less efficient than diesels, for one. The USN has for years been replacing modern, relatively efficient, steam main propulsion with diesel.

Some of the most efficient steam reciprocating engines, french compounds, were around 11%; some Wartsila-Sulzer diesels are around 50%, before further energy is recovered from the exhaust.

Steam engines are very INEFFICIENT. Welsh/Tyne coal was cheap.

[RUSeriousnow]

@mountfields OH, They were VERY EFFICIENT compared to how many mules/horses/oxen it would take to do the same work. PLUS in the winter, they DIDN'T EAT. No work, no cost! Steam Tractors ADVANCED agricultere immensly!

[J0Boa]

@mountfieldsYea, but It's doing the job just fine

[davev8app]

@mountfields inefficient, no way a triple expansion steam engine, fuel used to work dun is apox 2 or 3 times more efficient as the best turbo diesel, this is because with steam after you have used it agenst 1 piston you can use it again at a lower presser agenst a bigger piston and then again

[FurryKing19]

@mountfields could probably do double what modern day tractors do specially farm tractors

[caravans2]

just had to watch this again,

Imagine seeing that on the roads back in the day,i wish i had been there!

[MikeWishesForBagels]

i wouldnt think its that heavy because theres 2 pulling and one pushing..

[tpvalley]

Yes but try stopping on a hill!!
