Steam the true source of change, Aaron would have been in his element with all those boilers, thanks Mike I know this is an old one but wish you would do more of the steam machines that really changed the world.
We have many smaller shows and events like this in the UK 🇬🇧 spent a few years on steam engines at some shows and love the tractors ands lol of it ! Thanks for sharing your time there Mike 👍👍👍
I am glad I found this old show, my father owned a sawmill much the same as the old steam powered one, except it had a diesel engine for power. I was just a kid but I was fascinated to watch it run. I was so glad I got to do a little logging and be around him at this time. Your show really brings back some great memories. I like your current show as well, I put many thousand hours on a backhoe, but never on a cool excavator. I still own a small backhoe loader and use it regularly. Some day I will get may hands on an excavator even if I have to rent one for a day.
That is awesome. We have a steam powered log mill about a1/2 hour from the house. All the cutting is done over the steam engine it is about 200 years old . The steam engine came out of a steam boat. It runs 4 months out of the year .
Oliver for the win! That truck painted in Oliver colors was friggin awesome! I just went to a very similar show a few weeks ago. I'm still working on the 2nd half of the videos for it, hopefully post it next week. Thanks for sharing!
At last... a roller, in one of your videos, that is not lying on its side!!! All these pieces required constant maintenance just to make it through a days work. You had to know and understand every inch of your machine... and today.... some folks have to have a shop change their lawnmower oil once a year! Do you think we’ve lost something? Thanks for the visit.
An excellent video. One of my earliest memories is of a thrashing machine driven by a traction engine on our farm. This would have been in the fifties. When I saw your lad was with you, I was hoping for some more of his 'Have fun with yourself' comments. And imagine coming across the Dirt Perfect sign? That must have been a humbling moment, even if you were right next to the Crazy Logger Wade sign.
I was extremely lucky to grow up in a one horse town stuff that would been parked long before the more modern equipment came to replace it and even some of those men working on it were grateful to see them retired ... my first big truck driving for someone instead of dad. A nineteen fifty one mack truck with the I believe was twelve at the time to drive a B51 mack with a thermadyne engine. I'm remembering as hard as I can the tractor pulled graders and dozers with a cable winch to run the blade. Old and loud but fun
I am a member of the Northern Illness Steam Power club and have helped on the sawmill loved every minute of it. Nothing like the sound a steam engine makes.
Those Fairbanks Morse engines had upper and lower crankshafts with two pistons per cylinder punching towards each other, low rpm high torque engines. They used them as backup generator engines on submarines I served on plus they used to have them on the Alaska ferry system. Cool engines.
Great video! Took me back to when my grandfather, great uncles and my dad would take me to thrashing bees. Makes my wonder how my great grandfather would react to the modern farm equipment we use today. Pretty sure he would be in awe just like was as a kid watching the old equipment run.
It's so awesome to watch you get mesmerized by it then all of a sudden you look at your watch and it's been 3 hours and your helping them your part of it LOL I could spend some money on a setup like that THUMBS UP MY FRIEND thanks for sharing this is one of your best
Awesome video Michael !! 👍👍 I love them old steam engines and any old machine or tool! Unfortunately where I live on the east coast they don’t have much of that stuff anymore!!😏
We have the thrasher reunion every year in mount pleasant iowa on labor day weekend and on the third Saturday of September in garber iowa at the plagman barn great time going back in history. Thanks for taking us along. Keep up the great videos
In Brooks, Oregon, the last weekend in July is the annual Steam-up. Actually not alot of steam, but still alot of fun, especially the parade of tractors.
Great show. A typical Circular saw blade will take out 5/16” for the kerf. A typical modern thin kerf Bandsaw will take out 3/32. Thus a 7/32 difference in technology. By the way you missed the Log Skidder at 20:06, but next year you’ll see it.
The fans are used to put a load on the engines ,to check running of them and horse power , on hard it pulls. The Baker engine here in Ohio to test the engine for run in when new . We have a Baker fan here at the campground ! ! when they had steam engines here in the early 80's , and used it on one about four years ago .
One day, believe this was before I started school, heard this distant rumbling. It took forever but finally the steam tractor arrived pulling a threshing machine. They pulled wagons of shocks up and forked them into the thresher with the straw coming out the other end. Oats was then bagged.
The best rigs I got to work on were made on a Mack chassis . Cab over style. Compact, maneuverable and dependable. The only downside was that the FFs had to sit on an open bench where the sleeper would normally be. Got a little chilly come winter!
We have the worlds only commercially operated steam powered hardwood mill out here in Oregon. Its about 20 miles north of me, out of the huge mtropolis of Dawson Or. THe Hull family has run it for generations. Hull Oaks Hardwoods is on the National Historic Register. Check it out! Todd the retired trucker. Loved the vid!
The steam tractors that look like locomotives are called traction engines. The boiler is the exact setup as a steam locomotive but that's where the similarities end.
We has saw mill just like that one, that steamer has some power, we had Farmall M we put on ours, the power units had died. log that big would have slowed down a lot sooner.

Great show.
A typical Circular saw blade will take out 5/16” for the kerf.
A typical modern thin kerf Bandsaw will take out 3/32.
Thus a 7/32 difference in technology.
By the way you missed the Log Skidder at 20:06, but next year you’ll see it.
Crazy and yes seen that
cool stuff thanks for the tour
Thanks for watching
Old school is the best, no junk
Agree
Guy a few miles from me owns the huber steam engine. Mt vernon indiana is where it lives. Usually help with that engine at the local shows
Very nice could walk round all day,here in uk we have game fairs and you just cant see every thing in a day
Awesome
Looks like I need to make a trip up there next year.
Yup think I will
Awesome video you need to get that steam roller it may help you thanks for sharing
Would love to 😁
I use to work at a saw mill tail edger and green chain...I do not miss it.
I bet not

Awesome will do thanks
been down there a couple 3 times and didn't even know that old grist mill was even there.
Awesome place
I remember being a kid and him reaching me something to spray in the stack(I think) and it would just redline and black smoke would roll
The steam tractors that look like locomotives are called traction engines. The boiler is the exact setup as a steam locomotive but that's where the similarities end.
Interesting
They have a steam powered log splitter and a wood fired threwsher
Cool
That looks alot like Powerland Park in Brooks Or. Todd the retired trucker.
this was cool .was this a special weekend or is it open all the time ,and do they run the steam all the time
No just one weekend a year
We has saw mill just like that one, that steamer has some power, we had Farmall M we put on ours, the power units had died. log that big would have slowed down a lot sooner.
Awesome and yes that old engine was stout
Thanks Mike Abom 79 on youtube has a playlist of old mills on his channel , worth a watch !
Awesome will check it out
daddy always said those old Mack's would beat you to death they was so rough.. but you couldn't ask for a tougher or longer lasting truck
Very true
How far away is this show from your house
2 hrs
Bet you would be hard pressed to find something made in China there.
😂😂😂😜😜 good point
It's not the horse power, it's the mammoth torque !!
I'll have to ask logger Wade when he started out if that's what he used lol
Lol will ask 😜
where is the steam powered skid steer?
Good ?🤷♂️😜
I lost a friend to a steam tractor that blew up at a county fair
any tractors with chainsaws on the bucket?
lol nope 😜
Think if we still used that steam today world would sure be different today
Yes it would
I do not know S_it about horses but those were big ass horses. Must have been High output 2hp.
Lol I know right 😜
Maybe you need a steam powered excavator
That would be awesome would love to run a old one
👍👍🇨🇦🐕❤️
😁
@14:46
Most “girls” will. 😉
😜😂😂
