Steam plow engine proves viable for prairie farming
A detailed test of Fawkes steam plow engine demonstrates practical farm use. The apparatus produced 120 revolutions per minute, powered a thresher, mills, a moulding turbine, and saws while using only 10 pounds of steam. It withstood water and soft ground, showing greater ground contact and weight distribution than wagons, and could plow 25 to 40 acres per day on well improved farms, with potential size reduction to match animal power on smaller farms.
