  • UPDATE!!
    Some information about the engine from the owner Josh Maschhoff: "We run at 150 psi.
    The Engine weighs around 42500lbs loaded with coal and water.
    Torque is 3000 ft lbs at 240 rpm
    The sled was definitely weighted and i know from experience first hand that the engine can drag the sled with the weight box all the way up and the bars dropped."
    110 HP Case specifications here: www.farmcollector.com/steam-t...
    Don't worry about the fire hazard. What you see is a very exaggerated amount of burning embers coming from the smokestack. The sparks are created as a night spectacle for entertainment. Before this pull, sawdust was added to the firebox to enhance the night "spark show." Having said that back in the day there was always a risk of fire. There was less of a risk during plowing season. The highest risk was during harvest when the steam engines returned to the fields to thresh (separate) the grain from their stalks, in typically dry fields. Weeks before the steam engines arrived the grain was cut and bundled by binders. These mechanized machines looked the front of modern "combines" but binders only cut and a bound the grain. The crops were cut close to the ground by the binder leaving the grain (heads) connected to the shaft. These bundles were approximately 8" in diameter and were about 3' tall. After the crops were cut, these bundles were stacked in small piles called "shocks." These shocks contained maybe 7 to 12 bundles and scattered all over the field. The shocks were left in the field until the grain was dry enough to separate. The threshermen traveled from farm to farm to thresh each farmers grain. Most individual farmers could not afford a steam traction engine so the threshermen provided this service to the farmer. On threshing day wagons were brought to the field and would load the shocks of grain and haul it to the threshing machine where it was placed quite a distance (and upwind) from the steam engine that provided the power for the machine to do its work. The steam engine provided power to the threshing machine via an extremely long belt to keep any embers away from the dry chaff and straw that was separated from the grain. The shock piles of crop were gathered as they were needed and not all gathered up and piled in one place at one time. That way, if there was a fire it would be small and contained to a small portion of the harvest and not all of it. The steam engines were also outfitted spark arresters while threshing. Not to mention these steam engines required water so water was generally available should a fire break out. Also the steam engines would burn the straw which was waste from process of threshing the grain.
    The reason they needed steam whistles was to communicate with the people working in the fields along with the steam engine. Even when plowing they had crew literally riding on the plow to lower and lift the plows in and out of the ground. When the engine was used for threshing, they communicated with everyone in the field, whether it be people operating the threshing machine or the wagons to bring grain to be threshed. Also, they would signal when they were starting or stopping the thresher. They would indicate when it was time to come to work, stop for lunch and finally when the work day was completed. Here are some examples of the codes they used for communicating.
    One long = Morning, stop for meal or end of day.
    One long with three short= water needed
    One short pause one short= Go ahead, commence work
    Three medium = Grain wagon call
    Two long = Work day done , Job completed
    One short= Stop threshing
    Four medium= Moving out, crew call
    One long, three short= water call
    One long, three short,one long= Runaway team
    Three short rapid blasts = Fire or emergency distress
    Today's Emergency whistle signals should be known to all engineers, directors, show announcers, first aid personals, fire and ambulance.
    One long,three short , one long is well known run away team(s) to be heard by neighbors to look out.
    Also these codes were used by trains in the train yards not just at railroad crossings. Ships still use similar codes to this day.
    One day, I hope to make a video of these separate processes that is now preformed by a single combine.
    As for now, if you watch the movie "Of Mice and Men" with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich you can see threshing in action.
    I have posted another video of it that includes three synchronized videos that were shot from three different angles that night. (One angle is shot from a drone flying high in the air that can be spotted above the engine towards the end of this video. If you liked this video surely you would like that video even more. • 3 ANGLES 110HP Case St...

    For those interested in knowing a little more about the science behind this, I'll explain a bit about the torque of a steam engine. Steam engines and a DC electric motor are the only two power sources that have 100% torque output at 0 RPM. For a steam engine, this is because the piston is pushed by steam, which is an expansive power source. When the engine is idling at about 250 RPM, the governor that controls the flow of steam to the engine is not very far open, and the steam in the cylinders are not using a lot of the expansive force of steam, as it is in and out of the cylinder so fast. As a load is aplied to the engine, the RPMs will fall off slightly and the governor will open up, supplying the cylinder with more steam. Eventually, the RPMs will fall enough to a point that the governor is just wide open, allowing 100% flow to the engine. This point would be the maximum horsepower point of the engine. This engine was rated from the factory as 110 HP at around 250 RPM. At that RPM range, it can put out around 3,000 lb/ft of torque. From that point on, as the load is increased, the engine RPMs will start to drop off, using the longer time in the cylinder to get more expansive force out of the steam. This leads to the horsepower dropping off, but the torque continuing to increase. The engine will continue to make less horsepower and more torque until it gets down to 0 RPM. At that point, the steam in the cylinder is applying maximum expansive force on the face of the piston. In other words words, 100% potential torque, but no horsepower, as horsepower is dependent upon a motion variable. I hope that makes sense. I tried to keep it all as simple as I could.

      Basically a steam engine is 100% efficient, unlike every other internal combustion engine that came after it. They were called road locomotives for a reason, they were phased out because 1 they were too powerful to be off of rails, as described by an engineer in the 1870’s, and 2 they were so efficient that hardly any cost would run them. and 3 they were so cumbersome, and required so much maintenance to keep them operating. Then you always have the risk of boiler explosions, and it’s not an easy thing to operate. Using these to farm with was hard to do, not just anyone could run them, and you had to have two people at all times to run it one running the engine and one to keep the fire in the burn box going. They ran on either coal or wood. They ran the best on coal cause it burns the hottest but in a pinch it’ll run on wood at a reduced power level. Nowadays coal is so expensive and harder to come by they run them on wood. Nowadays you also have to have a boiler license, and they have to be inspected annually.

      Thats what you get when you have 100% of torques from zero revs and a 1 stroke engine - power on the upstroke and power on the downstroke. So 2 cylinders provide the same number of power strokes as a V8, but with torque from zero revs and maximum chamber pressure for the full stroke.
      So a 2 cylinder steam engine is more like a V24 Deisel than anything else.

    My uncle drove a traction engine in the late 1800's. When I was seven , he then eighty-five, described how he and 22 other drivers and engines each towed an eleven furrow plough side by side, day after day to create New Zealand's Canterbury plains. They had to arise at 4:00a.m. and stoke the boilers, then have breakfast while the engines built up enough steam to begin the day's work. After days and days of ploughing the crossed the plains and then turned around and ploughed side by side back again. Over and over until the job was done. His name was Fred Carter.

    My town hosts the county fair every year and still has two nights of tractor pulls. Many, many years ago, it had a lot more classes than it does now and the pulls might not end until 2 or 3 am the next morning! One of those years, the US Army had some equipment on display. One of those was a vehicle used to tow tanks and other heavy equipment. Ona Saturday night, when the heaviest class of farm tractor pulled, 15,000 lbs, the Army wanted to show off. With the sled still loaded and geared for those 15,000 lb tractors, the tow vehicle was hooked up to it. What could stop a seven and a half ton tractor short of 300 feet was nothing to a vehicle that weighed 40-50 tons and designed to tow that much again behind it.

      the stock spark arrestor has been removed. This would normally not emit this kind of visible burning ash. They provide a function but also reduce overall power as the airflow leaving the stack and the steam along with it provide an induced draft in the firebox which increases heat and thus generated steam. This is common practice when power and efficiency is prized over environmental concerns like setting the ditch on fire.

      ​@@CalebDiTdiesel engines on paper ARE far more powerful, but in reality, with a diesel engine, that power only lasts so long before it tops out at a certain point, it has a limit. But with steam there is no limit, the torque is never ending AND diesel engines only last so long, steam engines are built to serve their purpose forever. Not to mention that a steam engine has less moving parts than a diesel or gas engine, for example unlike diesel engines or gas engines they do not require things like transmissions or gear ratios because there is no power issues with a steam engine, it just puts the power directly down unlike combustion engines that require gear ratios and transmissions to step their power.

(Imagine the belts on your car engine that turn from the crankshaft pulley and turn the alternator, the water pump, the power steering pump etcetera! Now imagine a smaller steam engine than this mobile one running a shaft connected to 10 machines with hand activated levers (like a clutch in a manual car) to activate any machine you can imagine!

      For some reason those maschines stayed in use until mid 70ties. At least I know of one examle. Doesnt it come to the pressure that the Boiler can produce and maintain? I think in Europe where also 250 hp tractors around. F×l=m

    This is really the best way to explain 110 Power and 5000 pound feet of torque, it will only go about 7 miles an hour, but will drag 50 tons doing it 💪🏼🙋🏼‍♂️👌🏻

      Only 50 tons? A big rig maxes at 40 tons and only has about 1100 ft/lbs of torque.

      @@oxide9679 My guess there is simply a century of technological advancements. We got wings and then reached the moon in about half the timeframe compared to when that tractor was built vs to a semi today
      And getting into the technological side, that tractor model had 3k torque and weighed almost 45k pounds just as the tractor alone, no attachments, so a fair helping of her power is being used to just move herself.
      Not sure on her actual towing limit though, but I would imagine it is still pretty high
