@@xenon5550 roaring and screaming is inefficient, that thing is only 25 to 45 horsepower (18 to 33 KW), about the same as a large commercial grade riding lawnmower, and yet, look at the size of the plow it is pulling, if you try to use that same lawnmower to pull that plow, you will just blow the engine! However, to be fair, wide open, that thing will only do about 4-5 MPH MAX, that's why it is so efficient, it is the gearing ratio, the makers went for power instead of speed. that same lawn mower i talked about earlier will blow the doors off of the rumley in a speed contest.
The 25 to 45 horsepower that the Rumely has is true horsepower where 1= one horse's power and ability. Modern horsepower is not the the same, 1 modern horsepower is equal to 1/2 or less of an actual horse's power. They just aren't the same unit of power measurement anymore.
My brother and I got to ride a tractor exactly like this one when we were both kids, we didn’t know the man who gave us the ride he just saw 2 kids and knew we would probably enjoy it, he was right, it was something I’ll never forget that was 50 years ago.
Not a steam tractor. No boiler=not steam. This was the tractor you bought so you did NOT have to build a fire and coax a steam engine to life every morning.
And then lose track of the water level, let the crown sheet go dry, splash water on it, blow the back out of the boiler, and kill everyone on the crew. Steam tractors may seem romantic as all get-out, but there are very good reasons why they disappeared...
@@jarvisfamily3837 just like anything even today . you have to know what you are doing and keep things maintained. Every beginning of each season my gramps had me go around on all four of his steam engines and beat on every nut , bolt , rivet with a big hammer. He never had any issues . never had any blowback . never let water run out. Never had a front door blow off. My gramps was extremely fierce with zero tolerance when it came to maintenance and respecting " contraptions" ( as he called them, including cars). He would take us with him to steam tobacco beds and flower beds and blowing out water wells. Spent countless hours in the fields chucking coal or wood. Counless hours cutting firewood( good hearty work). Filling the water bins (he called them, sometimes with 5 gallon buckets) .frequently would chuck some sawdust in just for fun . nothing beats a good spark show while sitting at the end of a field at dusk with the water bin and coal/ firewood that we pulled with duke and sherm ( his clydsdales) Good ole times. Same amount of dangers exist with today's equipment. If not more because today things move quicker with less time to react. My dad and cousin both almost lost their lives with modern equipment . we kept everything maintained and clean and still it happened. My dad was on a 1066 hydro when it burst into flames . I saw it happen and it was extremely fast . luckily when he jumped of the back He landed on the disc chisel and not under it. My cousin was running beans when the combine caught fire and as anyone knows he was completely concentrating on operating the controls and didn't notice it was on fire because it was a headwind until it got to the door and he caught a glimpse of it. Neighbors wife was killed because he got into some power lines with his combine and didn't know it. She came with his dinner and as soon as she grabbed the handle on the steps ( as he was still moving, he said)she was toast. No one in our family ever had an issue with steam power ( gramps had a lot to do with that )
Toolman Guys like your Gramps had a high IQ and foresight because not having one meant you died in an accident or your child died of pneumonia from the poorly heated home he provided. I note recently they seem to have detected genuine reductions in IQ.
While the title stipulates a steam tractor plowing, it's actually a kerosene burning internal combustion twin cylinder engine doing the work we see. Many antique tractors participate in these events in which they demonstrate how wonderful these machines were in their day. It interests me how fuel efficient they might have been, steam was notably not fuel efficient but internal combustion tractors changed that though they needed refined oil as fuel, couldn't run off of wood or straw power.
You can see many of these at the Darke county Steam threshers assoc. Twice a year in Greenville Ohio and once in Portland, Indiana. They use them to do all kinds of things.
There was no immediate effect because the engine is governed, and there is huge inertia in all that mass. When the load comes on, it automatically opens the throttle. However, you can hear it slowly go slower - the tractor had barely enough power to pull that plough.
TH-cam has a nice feature called Edit. This is by no means a steam engine. In fact, the water on board is used for injection when running kerosene fuel to reduce engine knock. Correct the title and description.
Aww so sad that you just cut it off bang. A great video up till then for sure and my favorite tractor of the oldies has always been the Rumley , thanks for what you gave us.
Rumley Oil Pull -- Kerosene is often called lamp oil. Using the exhaust gas to induce air flow through the radiator didn't work all that well and eventually a fan was used.
It's not a steam tractor, it runs on kerosene. On the front radiator housing it will say burns kerosene at all loads or it should say something similar to that.
Then and now! Today 150hp for 6furrows a bit quicker ....But cost £125000 and more fuel.and we call it progress.1 horse for one furrow or even an bull ...today we need 100hp just to power our creature comforts
Till you finish plowing with this you need to start harvesting.....but that was then....now ...thanks to the progress we have better machine to do this work ....faster and fuel efficient ...
Its not a STEAM Tractor it is a Kerosene Burning Gas engine twin Cylinder engine. Its interesting how the internal combustion engine developed, bit by bit, from a firebox & boiler, to putting the 'fire' directly into the cylinder. 'Scuse my ignorance, but what is the bog box on the top at the front? Some sort of silencer? Water cooling box?
Wikipedia says ""The engine was designed to burn all kerosene grades at any load. A popular model, the Type F, had a single cylinder of 10" bore and a 12" stroke. It was started by the operator stepping out of the cab via the large iron rear wheel, climbing onto the flywheel and using his bodyweight to get it turning, then quickly rushing back into the cab to adjust the choke and try to keep the engine running." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumely_Oil_Pull
Not an 'early diesel', either - it's still a spark-ignition engine that runs on kerosene (or paraffin, depending where you're from). The name Oil Pull referred to its cooling system: it uses mineral oil instead to cool the engine, instead of water.
I'm confused. This is pulling an 8 furrow plough on maybe 50hp and not breaking a sweat - yet an old MF 135 had about the same power but would throw a fit at 5 furrows? Am I missing something? Is it because the engine has more torque than the much smaller car sized tractor engines? I'd imagine the plough is a late model present hydraulic one, as there were less and less workers on farms, there were less people to be standing on ploughs - also you could with a chain drop the plough from the drivers seat - and with some ingenuity possibly lift it too.
What kind of plow is that? I've never seen one with that kind of lift/drop mechanism! Most of them are ganged two bottoms per lever, and a whole crew on the platform to lift and lower them all.
I love the unassuming power of these old gentle giants - no roaring and screaming - they just quietly get on with the job, with considerable dignity.

Really wonderful video of how it used to be!
Love this, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, i have a ton of videos from these events over the years
Glad to see the proper use of a Stillson Wrench on fitting the clevis.
clydo1946 is you talking about the pipe wrench?
Yep pipe wrenches are also called stillsons
Yep, i regularly see people use a Robertson's, a Phillip's or an Allen. But all I saw were square drives, cross drives and hex bits!
Also called a fitters wrench, or steam fitters wrench
All tools, no matter what they were designed to do, will eventually be used as a hammer.
The plow just cutting the sod like butter... Amazing power!
I know this field. It's been plowed so many times you could plow it with a hand pushed cultivator lol. It's a museum if you wanted to go there

Dropping the plough had no discernible affect on the engine.

Another person who seen the smoke stack/radiator and thought it was a steam engine do your research it’s a kerosene tractor
Doubt it's kerosene, it was to expensive, what they burned is distolet

Questo non è un trattore a vapore ma un trattore ad olio pesante, Comunque è una magnifica macchina.
Merry Christmas
Me: I always go camping here!
Also me: wait is that my uncle?
Coming up soon..
Did not even sound like it was pulling very hard.
No it is just walking away with the load. Amazing.
Just chugging along like that plow wasn't even there.
Facts..
Then and now! Today 150hp for 6furrows a bit quicker ....But cost £125000 and more fuel.and we call it progress.1 horse for one furrow or even an bull ...today we need 100hp just to power our creature comforts
25-45HP to pull 8 furrows. Outstanding, goes to prove that "horses" were bigger than those used to calculate power today.....lol
Horse power is actually the same today. It only had 45 horses on oil/ kerosene but made about 1000 lb/ ft of torque.
@@paulzumpf3612 As an engineer, I was talking metaphorically.....
The engine sounds like the beginning of an edm song
it's a song for sure..
Damn. It goes almost 1 mph!
These old Rumleys topped out at 3-4 miles per hour top speed. They were made for pulling and not for speed.
Till you finish plowing with this you need to start harvesting.....but that was then....now ...thanks to the progress we have better machine to do this work ....faster and fuel efficient ...

Just think a 100 years ago. Someone plowing with a horse and seeing this.
WHAT THE HELL guys??? Its a damn Rumley oil pull. They ran on kerosene.
it's nice tractor !
We had a neighbor in the 60s who used to use one of those things only his was red .

Alisterwolf66 It starts on gasoline then after it warms a bit, you switch to kerosene.
Its not a kerosene steam engine?
olan levan No, see above... no boiler and no firebox to burn wood, coal or straw.
Is that the original radiator? I thought the type B had a more square radiator like the E. This looks more like the rad on an F.
No idea..
A Rumely Oil Pull is not a steam tractor - it's a (very large!) internal combustion engine.
I just had agree - OilPull means internal combustion, not steam. Believe it or not I saw one of these in Jarvis, Ontario Canada at a farm fair.
Proper power. 👏👍😁
