850hp tractor vs 18hp tractor

I'm guessing the steam engine had "Traction" as a
sponsor? or how about "watch steam engine pull a
John Deere rototiller around"? 850 HP isn't worth
doo-doo if you've only got traction for 180HP
 
It's been posted many times before. Although it's an interesting video, it proves nothing.

If you want to get an honest comparison of new versus old technology, hitch any modern tractor, say 125 hp or more to a typical modern implement, say an 18 foot tandem disk. See how fast it can pull the implement. Then hitch that same implement to the steam engine, and see how fast the engine can pull it. Then you will see that horsepower really DOES matter.
 
First time i seen it and yes its rigged but its as
funny as the when the salesman comes in the
yard and opens the car door on an electric
fence and waits for rover to sprinkle his
blessings. i know a few jd guys im going to
love showing them this
