This 1920 steam-powered tractor was on display this past weekend at the annual Inman Farm Days in south Fayette County. Owned by Darryl, Bonita and Meghan Coleman, it was used for plowing, saw milling, thrashing and more. With a max speed of five miles per hour, it weighs 25,000 pounds when “work ready.” The Aultman-Taylor steam engine powering it has a single stroke motor putting out 20 horsepower. Photo/John Munford.
