The Club Trattori d'Epoca Piemonte
offers you a dolly shot of steam tractors.These machines are
essentially made by an internal combustion engine with a boiler which
makes the water boil The steam which is obtained is able to drive the
pistons in order to exploit the energy. It is the same system which is
used for the old locomotives.. These machines were and are fed up by coil
or woods which are put in the burning chamber by the engine driver.
The age of the steam tractors in the agriculture can be considered,
historically as a moment of transition, a necessary tecnichal passagge
towards the endothermics engines, whose low ratio weight/power brought the
mechanization in the agriculture.
