I was at a county days last weekend, there were 5 traction engines there. I asked the owner what the torque numbers at 1 rpm of the flywheel from the steam box was. He didnt know but at 10 rpm it produced 2800 ft pounds of torque on an 18 hp 1918 case. Weight was 21,000 pounds. If you run the numbers with gearing multiplied thats over 6 times more tractive effort than a 500 hp road tractor. Very slow though.

Note the angle of the connection too, which go worse as the Deere dug in. His weight was pulling the big boy down, helping him maintain traction, and the big boy was essentially lifting the Deere off it's traction patch. That, combined with the weight and torque differences ended it before it began.

The JD has much more HP (torque x time) but it has to rev much higher causing the steam traction motor to win every time. Also the JD would win in a contest of top speed every time.

The "John Deere" in this video is a specialized custom build vehicle for tractor pulling, has a few thousand hp and Idk how much torque.

A turbocharged pro tractor like this probably develops around 800 hp. The traction engine possibly develops as much as 75 hp @ 100 rpm. Traction is of course a big factor, but even on tarmac the result would be the same. The reason is that it's very difficult to get the diesel on full boost from a standing start before the clutch goes in, while the traction engine develops peak torque from stationary. It's hard to argue with 3000 ft/lbs at the crank even before its geared 5:1 to the rear wheel.

Just keep in mind, the Traction Engine does not have as much HP behind it as the new John Deere does, it's simply due to the fact that the Traction Engine is far heavier (some weighed as much as 100 tons) than the John Deere. It's fairly evident that the Deere struggles to pull it even when stationary, as seen before the Traction Engine begins to move. With that said, an amazing display of power by both machines.

Yes, the 'Traction Engine weighed more than the Tractor did, BUT it's the fact that one produces its peak torque from the 'off' and the other needs to well up into it's rev range and moving at the appropriate speed so needing the grip/traction to do that, the 'Traction engine' deigns them of that. Some years ago I was on a steam hauled train of some 12/13 coaches leaving from Penzance heading towards Plymouth, despite the age of the two GWR Locomotives, both 80+ years old at the time, they were so good at doing what they were built to they had to slow down as they were making 'HST' time and catching the 'service train' in front and in Somerset, alongside the M5 motorway they were pushing/pulling an easy 80mph+ and visibly faster than the cars were doing.

Also irrelevant is whether one can tow the other. The key question for any tractor is how much work can be done. Power is Work over time. Sure, the steam tractor can move a huge weight, but it is slow. Therefore the work it can accomplish in the same amount of time is less. It has less power, end of story. Unless you're going to pull over a house, like somebody else said, all that torque is useless. This was simply a meaningless display for entertainment, and I found it to be quite entertaining.

OK, The pulling tractor did not dig in, the pulled tractor did and how it dug in has nothing to do with how hard it CAN pull, it is a result of it being dragged while the tires rotate forward. The steamer is not 100 times heavier, it is maybe 3 or so times heavier which makes a huge difference for sure. None of these things discount the fact that the higher drawbar exerts a lifting effect on the lower one and will reduce the lower ones pulling effort (the entire point of my comment). Machines of equal weight, height, and power would be at a standoff (equal). The fact that one beats the other indicates there are differences between them, one of which I pointed out.

Why do you suppose steam locomotives can start a 1000 ton train away from rest, with overdrive gearing much taller than 1:1, from crankpin to wheel rim, then take that train to 100 mph with the same 'gear' - without ever exceeding 300 rpm? Answer, torque. Diesel & petrol engines need gearboxes precisely because they can't produce useful pulling power below 500 rpm. Steam & electric motors really don't need them for pulling from rest. Traction engines only have gears because big cylinders require big boilers, which need a big water supply.

Less to do with horsepower and more to do with weight. The Modern tractor has more power, but because of the significantly lower weight can't transfer enough to the ground so the wheels just spin. Also the link between them pulls the modern tractors rear tires up as force is aplied which exacerbates the differences even more. Fun little video, nothing to argue about in it though.

I keep seeing comments suggesting the steam engine won because of weight and traction. This is true, but if traction wasn't an issue, the steam engine would still mop the floor with the other tractor. Lets remove the wheels and attach huge gears that run in slots along the ground, so wheel slip is impossible. What would happen then? The steam engine would rip the gear box out of the john deere and pull it into the next county... very slowly. :) A steam engine that is 80-120hp or whatever it is, may seem like nothing, but its pushing a couple thousand foot pounds of torque. Modern gas engines just cant compete with that. Its not even a competition really, take it for entertainment value only.

Except that the tractor is geared far far lower than the steam engine. The traction engine is pulling a bottom gear taller than the tractors top gear. The traction engine makes possibly 90 bhp @ 120 rpm maximum, but from a dead stand makes approximately 3500 ft/lbs of torque at the crank BEFORE its multiplied by the gears. The tractor pulls harder at speed because that requires HP which determines work rate. But from a dead stand it was always going to be a win for the one with the most torque.

They don't call steam power "the hand of God" for nothing.

@farmboy460 Even with your objection to the tow angle, the tractor is 4 wheel drive, so even if the rear wheels were lifted off the ground it would still have the front wheels pulling with the full weight of the tractor on them. Same type of pull was done 35 years ago with a big catapillar & a Steam engine. Let the cat pull him a little while slowly opening the throttle. Came to a standstill, then drug the cat backwards.

Not really fair, the tow chain/rope is higher up, so the Deere tractor is actually pulling weight off it's own tires.

They used a John Deere. What did they expect was going to happen?

Steam is under so much pressure, they have tons of torque, even if they may be a 12-20hp rated engine.
