@@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.

That's awesome.. I never had a ride on 1, I like to share history so it's never forgotten..

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...

For sure. Oil Pulls were NOT steam tractors, but look a something like one!

Rumly wasn't smiling when you started em either .and you weren't by the time they started.

@@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.

Thanks for stopping by, i have a ton of videos from these events over the years

Do they host that at the darke county fairgrounds and what are the dates I've been showing miniature horse at that place for ten years

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.

Gotta do what ya gotta do .

OTR Adventures Plow

@TiredSysAdmin well this is in the states 😂🤣

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.

Schlepperherz - Diesel !

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

Me too, i have a ton of old tractir videos. Keep looking i see you found 2 so far..

The more likes and comments KZfaq will promote your videos more👍

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.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJyjmLWWqLG2fHU.html This one has some good rhythm too.

Jd Koozer: Exactly ! That sound would be very strange for a steam tractor...but people do not seem to notice.

Thanks for watching, check out my other videos i have many more.

O grew up with my grand parents taking me to see this. I was lucky.

Yep, most people dont know anything about these old tractors, apparently including the person who filmed and posted the video.... On youtube there are a lot of video producers who simply get hold of footage filmed by someone else, then they post it, and insinuate its their own footage. I dont know that's what happened here, but I can tell you this much.. I didn't know anything about these tractors prior to maybe 3 years ago, and I've still never seen an old Rumely tractor OR an old steam tractor in person. But just by watching a handful of videos of steam, and internal combustion tractors, it very quickly became super easy to tell the 2 types of tractors apart, just by looking at a photo for 2-3 seconds! But the person who posted this, claimed that he literally grew up around these tractors, and was exposed to them from a young age. If that's truly the case, I find it REALLY difficult to grasp the idea that a person with his alleged experience wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a steam tractor and an internal combustion tractor.... Even if you'd never heard of a Rumely, it should be pretty obvious that its NOT a steam powered tractor.

there is a whole playlist of these iron giants at work. kzfaq.info/sun/PLvf3zOCpyn9RG-rEiCE2gBaU8M0SrrE9J

About time. Yes. Its a Rumley. Thats exactly what it says on em

they really are, nothing like standing next to one in action.

Doubt it's kerosene, it was to expensive, what they burned is distolet

@@RJ1999x 5:42 "BURNS KEROSENE AT ALL LOADS" on the side of the machine.

Rumely is a two cylinder combustion engine, not steam.

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.

No it is just walking away with the load. Amazing.

Sweet

These old Rumleys topped out at 3-4 miles per hour top speed. They were made for pulling and not for speed.

They are

RustyCarnahan. I'm not sure, they have a Facebook page I'm sure someone on there would know better.

Me too..

Coming up soon..

I'm glad you enjoyed....

Robert Stonjek it could burn anything pretty much

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.....

No idea..

Nice

It uses it to move the plow bottoms up and down..

Thank you...

Its NOT a hit and miss either. 2 cylinders firing every two revolutions

it's a song for sure..

Facts..

To lift it up and down.

That makes sense (!) It is interesting to me that is is continuous rotation, though that simplifies the mechanics I expect.

Anything is a hammer.

David Campbell its an all fuel.

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.

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.

You sgould fix them up...

Sure is...

We already made them 100 years ago.. Still plenty out their to restore.

Hp means nothing its all about the torque.

Look up the video of the Case steamer pulling the John Deere race tractor.

A huge slow revving piston, a huge flywheel and lots of weight.

и заметьте при 45 лошадках)))))))))))))

This is an expedition show, so you can appreciate how it used to be...

@@backwoodzcustomz1549yes I know

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.

No..

Justin Rasmuson There were a couple idling in the background at the beginning.

Thanks for watching..

Chester

Relying on torque and gearing.

Looks like it works good..

not steam, all fuel... could be ran off a bunch of different stuff, whatever is available.

For sure

One of these would pull the moon out of earth's orbit if you had enough chain.

Sure can... Among other stuff.

Sure isn't...
