Steam TRACTION ENGINES at Work

The trusty traction engine was the workhorse of British Agriculture and Industry at the turn of the century. We used traction engines for many applications. Powering fairgrounds, making roads, threshing the corn and hauling huge loads all over the country. You might think that the skills of the engine men died when they did, but this is not the case as you will see in this video.
'Traction Engines At Work' is an education in itself, as we show you preserved traction engines doing the job they were designed to do.

I can imagine Trevor the traction engine being really proud to be taking part in this steam fair. Especially given children and their families rides.

Hi from New Zealand. If I ever re visit England this will be the main event, the best day out ever. Coal and steam, nothing beats it. Ex Cornishman here, miss the rallies. Cheers.

He looks like me riding at the back of the traction Engine from 17:20-18:00. LOL.

they managed to put the show on in 2022 after Covid but sadly this later turned out to be the show's last year.

I don't like to think they're some special thing that needs special care I just call em tractors

[@rosswatts5701]

Definitely 1991 as they had the bulldozer in the play pen and 1992 because of the mud they had that year
