Rumely OilPull plowing

A Rumely Model E 30 - 60 hp OilPull tractor seemed like the star of the 2009 Bruce County Heritage Association's annual show. The crowd of people following this tractor to the plowing demonstration made the Rumely look like the Pied Piper.
In this video it is pulling an 8 bottom Verity engine plow built for tractors of this same style and vintage.

The man has that old engine sounding like it needs another eight plows behind it!!

@trygve11 It could easily handle them I think!

That does sound good dosn't it? why don't the machinery today sound like that?

[FarMech22]

A quick answer to your retorical question. A larger number of smaller cylinders running at a faster speed. A better answer is today's machinery is not near the machinery that the classic stuff is.

For as many of these that are around on the videos still plowing hard, and as hard as they were probably worked doing custom work, they must be built hell for stout in the drivetrain.
