NOT a compact tractor!

What would you call this size tractor?

That would really wipe out your garage door, even with no ROP.

That is a traction engine.

Some like sized steam powered might have been rated at 10 horse power. They would pull the hitches right off a 100 HP AG tractor on rubber!

Big is beautiful

Well it's obviously an economy model.

I think this is made to do something besides pull. Look at the slick no traction lug wood wheels and the conveyor belt looking thing over the side.

Some "traction engines were built to pull Sideways.

With a great wheel slung horizontally underneath to pull on cable attached to plows.

It takes two... ;-)

Bruce, you could post it over at Antique Engines Antique Tractors Steam Engines and Old Iron
They're very knowledgeable about such things and I am sure they would love to see that beast.
