We are looking at antique steam and gas tractors at Antiques Powerland and the Great Oregon Steam-up in Brooks Oregon.
Check out dozens of steam tractors dating from 1880 to 1910 and super early "petrol" tractors with huge single cylinder internal combustion engines also known as "hit and miss" engines
The Great Oregon Steam-Up is the largest event at Powerland Heritage Park during the year and it involves all of the museums and many other participants. One of the unique aspects of the event is that most of the equipment is operating.

Growing up in rural Utah, I remember seeing these around here and there! Some were in use! I just thought they were the goofiest looking contraptions! Ahhh! Farmers!! It's not until we get older, do we see the importance or significance of such machinery... And farmers!! :D

A super fun episode. It reminds me of my first trip to my childhood town in NE Conn. in 47 years, which happened this summer. I visited the farm of my elementary school and cub scout pal Sandy, and he was still using late 1940s vintage Farmall and Ford Furgeson tractors, the type I learned to drive in the late 1950s when I was 10-12 years old. Farm kids in those days always had to be precousous (sp?) drivers. While in Oregon, I hope that you got to Tillamook to ride the train. Aloha from Hawai'i.

I grew up in farm country. I also learned to drive around 11 or 12... out of necessity, as did all of the youth.. My dad did not want me anywhere near a tractor. Too dangerous! But I did learn to drive a feed truck... The kind used to feed poultry, namely turkeys! Those are some fine memories!

Back in the late 19th century they were really into causing these big machines to make a lot of noise to protect the public and scare away the horses. When automobiles first arrived on the scene they want them to do the same thing. One state even required anyone driving an automobile to fire a gun in the air at every intersection.

@karynfelix-the-Cat 5 жыл бұрын

One of the lessons that I have had to learn in life, is making "time" to do the things that I wanted to do. I had a defining moment after my mom passed, and I was visiting her, and my dad at the cemetery. I was still in the middle of settling her estate, and her lifetime of everything that was important to her inside her home. She and my dad planned on traveling.. once the kids were raised. They wanted to see Mt. Rushmore. They wanted to drive up the full length of the Pacific Coast Highway. They wanted to see Vermont in the Fall. They had hobbies they worked on together... but finding the "time" to do this other stuff they wanted to do........ Time. As I stood there, I gazed across the valley of farmland, and there in the short distance, was the town where my mom was born.. and raised. Here where I was standing, was where she was resting, alongside by my dad. In their case... Time was too short. The moment symbolic. I made a decision right then. You had better find time to do the things you want to do! Squeeze it in somewhere... Don't wait to do it later. Here, where you are standing is later.. and by then, it's too late! When one makes a space in their busy schedule to go to an event, visit a special place, or discover that great restaurant... It's like putting money in the bank. I'll get off my soap box now! But it is my hope that you will just take the time to go see that machinery show, or some other attraction! I guarantee... You won't regret it!

Me Too! I have always been fascinated by moving machinery.. all of those different parts moving in unison, to make the machine move! I remember, as a wee little girl, always trying to figure out how my tricycle worked. How my legs would move to make the peddles move, which made the bigger wheel move, which made me move! Then, I noticed the bigger kids riding regular bicycles, and the fact that they didn't have to peddle all of the time, and why was that? Did the chain have something to do with that?? I would inspect all of the parts, trying to figure it out! As I got older, I found that by tearing my toys apart, I could figure a lot of it out! Then I encountered my first 10-speed.... GEARZZZZ!!!!! Of course... I tore that apart too! Then I put it back together. Next came modifications! The only problem was.... I was a girl. Back then, my interests were seen as "strange". Not something that girls should be interested in!! Today... I am still fascinated by these machines... and would not mind building one of these little small scale engines! Just cool!!

That really really REALLY Big stationary engine you saw. Was most likely used at a Mine to pump water or lift ore cars. Not many still around, too heavy to move once the mine shut down. So they where often left too rust or just parted out. Great video, was this over the Labor Day weekend?

Such a nice assortment of machines. Too bad that there wasn’t an Avery steamer there. They look like rail locomotives. Even the controls are about the same. (Except for the steering wheel) The Avery is also a two cylinder so it will always go the direction you want. I always enjoy these trips off to other types of places. Thanks for the great films! 👍

@royreynolds108 5 жыл бұрын

Also the Avery steam traction engines use a pin in a follower nut for steering which makes for easy steering as opposed to the common use of chains attached to the front wheels. The loose chains is what makes a machine hard to steer by having to continually compensate .

FWIW: the double tractor that appears at about 14:48 reminds me of an aircraft tow vehicle we used to pull general aviation aircraft, at an airport in Florida {my first job, 1979 - 1980}. It was steered by hydraulic cylinders moving the two halves of the vehicle, instead of just turning the front or rear wheels. www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/23600-air-horse/

It looks to me like it wouldn't take much to make those steam tractor into a steam locomotive albeit a small locomotive. Those old tractors had to be multi talented in which like you said they plowed, threshed, sawed. In fact though it was gasoline power the tractor my uncle John used at his saw mill cut a blue slew of eastern cedar logs which in turn created the 50 foot mound of cedar shavings I would climb on. Here's a myth buster contrary to popular belief cedar shavings do not repel ticks. I my case they seemed to be attracted to me in the hundreds. I can't remember ever seeing that many ticks in one place. It was like they were on holiday and the dinner bell had rung when I climbed on the mound.
