Steam Power farming


This was a display to show how farmers ploughed a field using steam traction engines. there was an engine either side of the field and a worker sat on teh plough in the middle between the engines. each end of the plough was attached to both engines which in turn wound the rope underneith the carriage thus pulling the plough back and fourth.
