Ploughing Traction Engine
What is your favourite traction engine?
On the farm the steam engine was used for many duties including haulage work and providing power to threshing machines, saw benches and other items of agricultural equipment. Ploughing was done by steam tractors pulling direct ploughs, but more often by a pair of ploughing engines using equipment especially developed for this work. The Leeds based company, John Fowler & Co. (Leeds) Ltd, led the market in this area and over the years introduced a very comprehensive range of equipment to use with steam power.
