Seems like a lot of horsepower for that small load.

Do you think the second tractor in line was a gas conversion? No smoke to be seen.

That was taken at the Dorset steam fair in South West England. l being a sad person!!lol, go every year.
Those steamers stop half way up the hill then just pull away so easy, it is fantatic to watch

Seems like a lot of horsepower for that small load.

I doubt if any of those traction machines have more than 30 HP but the torque is unbelievable
