This was once someone idea for 900 ton Steam Tractor that never came to life

Found the story on some farm newspaper website called Farm Show

A farm stream locomotive style tractor that is 59 feet long , 6 drive wheels, 4 steer wheels and bends. What did they have a 8000 acre farm in the 1880s?

You know how they are about having the biggest in Texas, I bet the designer was from Texas.

Damn that would have sunk into the ground and made one heck of job getting unstuck. WoW!

@HumanEarth You know I do not now and have not seen it advertised. I bet during Bidens environmental war it may have been disbanded for use.

That isn`t showing a tender for coal or oil and water which would make it even longer.

@Degbeme Well if I did not change how I worded my post and left it with @HumanEarth pulling it out what choice would you have good Lord only Knows what would be pulled out, right!

@HumanEarth I follow you with a megaphone screaming you are not innocent! You gotta hear the heal and screaming especially if you head to soft ground or dirt or mud you dirty girl!

@WillaKissing Hey, I rolled in the mud with the pigs last night, so I'm good for a week

@HumanEarth Well just know I was on the porch in dress and heels screaming on the megaphone at you and taking side wagers on the wrestling matches!
