steam tractor
Coal-fired farm engine
A steam tractor is a self-propelled vehicle powered by a steam engine, used primarily in agriculture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Steam tractors pulled plows, threshers, and other heavy equipment before internal combustion engines replaced them.
The term also covers steam-powered road locomotives used for hauling freight.
The old steam tractor sat rusting behind the barn.
