Engineer and Fireman aboard Traction Engine, Pulling Cultivator, circa 1895
01
Artifact Overview
Some agricultural steam engines had to be hauled from farm to farm by teams of horses. Some - like the one pictured here - moved under their own power. This self-propelled traction engine hauls a cultivator. The hardwearing duo brought welcome aid to farmers, uprooting weeds and aerating soil to create a smooth, loose seedbed.
