Equally amazing is the number of companies that thought they had a better idea and went ahead and built it. That is the true pioneer way.

Love that most of these don't have engine bays, just roofs over the whole tractor. I dont think a lot of people understand how big of an investment these early tractors were. The equivalent today would be something like buying Porsche or a Benz to plow fields with. They either didn't have a family vehicle or it was bottom end, but the tractor, that was worth money. On our farm we had three tractors that all ran perfectly and had tons of fabricated aftermarket parts ranging from installed and upgraded PTOS to hydraulics for front loaders and plows. The family car on the other hand, well, it ran good enough and the gages all worked. Didn't have electric windows or seats. The radio had giant silver knobs and buttons but no tapedeck. It was bottom of the line. And I'm not old, this was back in the 70s and 80s.

They also had most of their parts exposed to make them easy to repair. But while they did break down a lot they were very repairable and many pretty much lasted forever.

Before attending Rolog, I had never seen many of the giant prairie tractors, and am still amazed that so many have been preserved. The curator spent some time with us and told us a story about the Pioneer tractor. Years back when they were trying to expand the grounds, they used the Pioneer as collateral for the loans on three different occasions, as it was the most valuable piece of equipment there.

Most I believe were designed to run on kerosene / distillate. Usually start them on gas until they are warmed up and switch to “tractor fuel”. I have a 1918 Heider. It has 2 tanks and one has 2 compartments. One is gas, one is kerosene and one is water. You start it on Gas, switch to kerosene when warmed up and dial in the water (needle valve on intake) the water keeps it from detonating. Rumleys also inject water with kerosene.

What sort of fuel need these tractors? They will hardly run on Diesel fuel? And the engines must have lots of torque, otherwise these heavy machines are difficult to move forward.
@crazydave4455
@crazydave4455 Жыл бұрын
I believe most were designed to run on kerosene or distillate (tractor fuel) usually you would start them on gas and once warmed up you could switch them to run on the heavier cheaper fuel. Now days they just run these on gas. Look up “all fuel tractors” for more explanation. And yes, massive bore and strokes running at low RPMs big torque numbers.

My grandfather WAS a mechanical engineer, and he built his OWN tractor. This was in the 1950s after he retired. It took years, but it finally ran. Based it on a Model T Ford, so it wasn't a massive machine.

That's why the Ford 9N (1939) was such a huge advance. It was a tractor a woman or child could start and operate. And it was equipped with the Ferguson patent 3 point hitch, which is the current standard. A lot of those are still working hard on farms today, and parts are still available.

Why did the US build such big tractors? Have you seen the size of some of the owners? They need every horsepower to lug around their owners, never mind the tools they hook up to them. That last single wheel tractor was unbelievable. What was it's purpose?
@crazydave4455

The big ones were to break the Prairie ground. People were still homesteading and tilling ground for the first time. Plowing up years of roots and pulling out tree stumps. The little devil was general purpose as far as I know, but what makes it special is it’s a 2 stroke oil cooled engine that was recalled for safety issues (it would run backwards unexpectedly when lugged down) and that is the only known running example of one.

Sorta thought on this, early gas engines made little power unless they became complicated. Complicated & farming don’t mix. Your only choice was to go massive on your engine and end up with 1000 cu. Opposed 2 cylinder just to make easy going maintainable 30 horsepower. Except now your engine weighs a ton & makes enough torque to move the earth briefly. So you end you up building a big ol tractor to support your massive power train. Sweet vid
