- 150 Case plowing in Andover, SD on 9.10.22 pulling a 50 bottom John Deere plow. Video created and narrated by Jeff Detwiler.
Special thanks to all the volunteers who made this happen! See where the 150 Case is headed next at www.150case.com!
3 days work for the blacksmith just sharpening those shares . . . Amazing work on that engine Mr Anderson. Well done.
These old steam engines are just beautiful machines and I think they are
Actual pieces of art.
This technology of the day has always fascinated me......they way these folks engineered thier machines was nothing short of brillant.
Amen to all that!!! They created from basically nothing before their time to FAR ahead of their time. Art and Engineering married in gorgeous splendor!
I walked by a Case steam tractor today sadly nestled in a back lot of a museum and thought how cool would it be to see this thing running. Thanks for bringing back alive a part of history!
The Great Basin Museum in Delta, UT has one fully restored and proudly on display. The director says that it is ready to go. Just add fire and water. It really is something to see - like a dragon taking a nap. Modern machinery just does not have the same character and soul.
Can you imagine anyone owning this tractor 🚜 the amount of work it did in the 1900's ? Beautiful tractor 🚜 to own...
She's putting in work like she was meant to. Always good to see these working the plains.
Truly wonderful. Great to see the work you have done to recreate some cutting edge engineering in it's day and even in this new century. Thank you.
We enjoyed the show.
Thank you for giving my kids and I a ride on this gentle giant!!
Phenomenal record. I just love this Case 150.
In the Early 90's your father Kevin came up to Manitoba Canada to market and perfect his Anderson Opener for air drills. Still remember him coming and visiting our farm. My parents went to Andover and had a picture taken on an old IH crawler you guys had recently restored. My father had one like it in his early farming days. Cool video like usual!!
Such an elegantly beautiful machine, wow... just wow!!!
Congratulations Kory. Always cool to see your accomplishments.
So awesome to see it working! Way to go!
Wow, what a machine. I love it every time i see it in action
Simply great! There my heart laughs with joy! 💓💓💓👍👍👍
Greetings from Dresden! 🇩🇪🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸 😎
So good to see old iron still doing the job decades later. We could still learn allot about quality from the past. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸 🚂 🚜
This particular tractor is a duplicate, the only case 150 in the world. It's owner had the boiler since he was a child. It's construction began in 2017
Absolutely beautiful machine!
Looks like it's barely even awake yet, much less workin' hard.
Really makes one wonder... Just WHAT could this behemoth do......
They should start pulling tanks. I imagine the Ukrainians would pay good money for a towing service
I doubt they need their wrecks back. They seem to be in no condition to be able to smelt them...
Awesome footage of a piece of history 👍👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 Thank you for sharing this 👍
The Vermonter
Incredible!
Thank you for sharing!
Nice one Guys! Been waiting for this one! 👍👍
Good on you Kory this is wonderful
Wow, this engine is truly amazing! So powerful, so... alive... Would love to see it with my own eyes, although that seems to be next to impossible from my location
Simply amazing
Thank you for the video
Beautiful machine.
The Kory Anderson Case 150 Steam Traction Engine will be operating Aug. 4-6th 2023 in Burnett Wisconsin at the Dodge County Antique Power Club Show. First time a Case 150 has been in Wisconsin, since they were built in Racine Wisconsin in 1905. You'll have a chance to see a 1914 Rumely Steam Traction Engine operate a sawmill, and also vintage tractor pulls.
Very cool. Thx for sharing
Yeah I also noticed them plows weren't in the ground very far, I bet it would still pull it though
Obviously not, or they would have planted it
What an incredible machine
Home folks! Much, much ❤ Incredible!!
(Age 10-11 first drive, JOHN DEERE! Almost rolled it in a bar-ditch too!)
Wow, freaking INCREDIBLE!!! OMG!
Love seeing the old girl working
Amazing I got goosebumps 😊
That’s a beauty right there.
I want to see this giant rare 150 case
Me too, but being the wrong side of 65, and the wrong side of the Atlantic, sadly it ain't gonna happen.
Thats Epic !
Great video.Really enjoyed it. Not a good job at tuning soil but super fun to watch.
I work pipeline moose jaw sask years 2000 the crew a farmer with steam tractor work field beside us was just insane the poor guys just shovel coal like mad man and power on this.we look at this pure shock all crew watching this.thank build this case tractor well done.😊
Awesome 🎉
Would love to see some drone views from above.
Kory, from what i saw online, the world record for largest plow pulled by a single tractor is 65 bottoms, or was 10 years ago (may have missed something).
Do you have any plans to set a new world record with the 150? Think it could pull 15-20 bottoms more? That would be super super cool to see 100+ year old technology set a new world record!
I don't have any doubt it would pull more. When they drop those plows it doesn't even slow down. Steam is unstoppable power. Plus that soil looked rock hard and bone dry

It was running at about 80 RPM give or take. That means it can likely pull closer to 750 furrow plow (u Americans say bottom instead of furrow) b4 it may very likely be risking breaking something. How did I come to this absurd conclusion? Let's say my rough guess is right, running at 80RPM to pull 50 furrows. He said in the vid the pair of ploughs was 1 ton or something I can't remember exactly. That means the plough is about 25 tons, the case 150 weighs 34 tons. Let's say if we estimate and round that the work needed to pull that plough is comparable to its own weight. That 68 tons of equivalent effort. I've seen steam engines go down to 10 RPM and below on CZcams and they never broke or whatever. So even tho they cud theoretically get more power by going lower, let's say that is unsafe. Ok so 10RPM is 8 times slower than 80RPM. So 8*68= 544. Minus the engines own weight, u get about 510 tons. And as I previously estimated and rounded my measurements, let's say 34 tons per 50 furrows. Thats 510/34= 15. 15*50= 750 furrows. These r very very extreme estimates, roundings and basic maths, so take my word with a grain of salt. But it shud be at least pondered over.
Nothing modern comes fractionally close!
It did 50 easily
is there anything it can't pull? such a beautiful sound.
It's a beast!
Very impressive
BEAST
What year is the tractor?
Should have dropped each of those plows in another inch and made it work! 😎
The ground was really tough here, the plows couldn't go in. When they turned around at the other end of the field there was a little more moisture there and the plows went in, made the ole girl work a little bit then.
It looked dry as hell
Truly an amazing life accomplishment on the recreation of the 150. I'm curious what his cylinder pressure is compared to his boiler pressure pulling that plow?
I think its 180 psi, he said that in the 45 plows video I believe at least
The boiler was constructed to an MAWP of 200psi. The pop valve or SRV is set at 180. Lots of dry 387° steam at that pressure!
I wonder which could pull more? The big bud 747, the largest tractor in the world. Or the case 150, the largest land locomotive in the world?
Look at that sky!!!!!
Yes please
How wide is the total width of the 50 plows?
The fact that its also carrying like 60 people at the same time is hilarious
Great machine for the time but where do you find the 60 farm workers to man the machine these days.
Steamwork + teamwork.
Gotta love the thump... A couple of well timed sawdust bags would have thrown it over the top... Well done
A great feat, but it would mean a lot more to people who actually plow, to have the bottoms in the ground at plowing depth
ya they were just scratching
U should do 150 plows!
Must not be plowing too deep with that much stubble still showing. How come they didn,t set the bottoms all at the same depth?
One man, one mule, two days of work....
Impressive but not all plows are down turning soil several rows of unplowed dirt,
I noticed the same thing
What’s the torque figure?
The mechanical noise of the gears is a voice just saying „we will work forever“
I like the people with brand new gloves.....
👍👍👍👍👍
so why are we not making these tractors today?????
What is the out to out measurement number 1 plow to number 50 ?
These were 14” JD plows, so you’re a 100” over 50 feet, or 58.33’. Call it just shy of a 60’ swath!
Wonder how that would fare in the half clay soil around here.
75 next year??? 💪🏽
Sad that not all plows are in the ground and turning soil much. Still an impressive machine!
This way of plowing with the share deep into the soil is what led to the Dust Bowl and it’s no longer done. So it is ok to use as shown otherwise it would really wreck the field.
As the cost and scarcity of liquid fuels increases this might be worth it's weight in gold.
Truth be told, did that tractor actually come with a train whistle or is it a add-on?
Does the "50 bottom plow" mean a 50 foot wide swath plowed? Regardless of the number of actual plows I assume. Thanks.
Refers to how many furrows the plow digs. In this case, 50. A bottom plow digs up furrows a certain way, and is suitable primarily for flat land.
These were 14” JD plows, so you’re a 100” over 50 feet, or 58.33’. Call it just shy of a 60’ swath!
HP 150 torque YES!
There's a video of it on a dyno. I think it made like 8,000 ft lbs of torque and 200 hp at 200rpm
Listen boys keep your eyes open for rocks and such and be ready to lift!
Find it more impressive how unfazed it is pulling along probabaly one of the biggest plows ive ever seen, terrfied to think how big the implements case themselves were thinking might tax the 150 when designing it
It wouldn't fit in my back yard?
However, those big iron wheels are massive mouse killers.
Hey iam from Indonesia
My 51 B was sold with a 2 bottom plow. No internal combustion machine can compare!
Very impressive but all I could keep thinking about was if one of those guys fell off there and landed on that wheel they could easily be crushed by that other wheel above or go underneath it
150 Horsepower and about *~5,000 lb* ft of Torque!
Maybe some someone is knowledagble about this. Why are there so rarely two cylinder or even triple expansion setups on Steam tractors?
Or is it just that a single cylinder always was enough even without the extra efficiency that would bring?
Many steam traction engine manufacturers made double simple (twin), as well as tandem (common piston rod) or cross-compound (two cylinders of different size, with two cranks). However, they were more expensive, more complex, and many owners couldn’t justify the additional costs. There are a number still operating today in preservation, but the single simple is most common.
What is the width of each furrow? Try plowing when the ground is in season. 6 inches deep or more then see what happens.
Yes, the conditions were so dry it was not plowing but bulldozing concrete. I’m favorable conditions it would have pulled much better. Normally it would be impossible to plow in the state it was, we were just fortunate to be able to get them in the ground. My rain dance the few weeks prior wasn’t successful 😂
Incredibly impressive if u honestly realize how much ridiculous stress was placed upon the components off that 100 year old ( plus) monster machine (plus the added weight of all the men controlling the plow shares)to me its like dragging the Titanic across a farm field, cheers
Actually this was built from scratch with the original plans, as all had been scrapped. It’s not that old.
Practically still under warranty… I think it’s 6 years old now (2018).
can only imagine what this big bastard could pull if they had planetary hubs back then. also kinda surprised they didnt involve some form of mechanical bellows to get a more efficient burn
That plow bottoms is just scoring the top of the ground.
Bury those suckers another 4 inches at least.
Noticeable, indeed. However : 1) there are not 50 plows, but about 25; and 2) they are not deep plowing but about 70%
Correct: there are 50 plows, each lever has two plows
This tractor was custom made from the origianl blue prints as they couldnt find a original tractor anymore.
Looks like overalls is a dress code there
Just think when the SHTF. They can still farm with a machine like that ! Just need fuel and water !
Sorry they some are not in the ground
Go for 60. It can handle it. I don't see any ground behind those wheels turned up like it's struggling for traction, and it's definitely not wanting for power.
Not even struggling
Steam powers the world.
It's a good thing they put a cute baby girl on the end I was about to lose interest!!!😉🥰💘💜🤠
This is what men do.
all it takes is coal and water.
The plows are not sunk very deep.....................
Old shit well save the world
Tell the camera guy that smoke coming out of a stack is NOT interesting. stay where the action is.
I actually “named” this video…. Eclipsing the Sun. Was a small jab at all the greenies trolling us for a little “smoke” while the Chinese and Indians and Saudis burn the nastiest bunker “C” fuel oil in their supersized ships around the world EVERY day shipping the stuff these trolls buy on Amazon every day!! Hypocrisy at its finest!
Cummins boys "my 6.7 makes more torque" no. no it does not sonny.
