Steam Engines

Here Lloyd is telling about the impressing power in steam engines. Used in both tractors and cars.

- They were smooth running, so what happened to steam, Lloyd askes.

He also tells that his uncle, John Erickson, was one who had no use for steam tractors right from start. He has grown up in South Dakota and it is a little known fact that the first tractors in the world were used in S. D. about 1890, he writes.

John Ericson bought his Rumely in 1913
11 August 2025: Discover the Case 110 HP Steam Tractor – the legendary steam engine that shaped modern agriculture. From vast fields of the early 20th century to today’s museums, this iconic machine symbolizes power and innovation. Witness its incredible pulling strength, advanced design, and inspiring historical story of the “beast of the plains”.
