(quoted from post at 14:16:51 03/11/20) I want one!! Little curious about the steering though.

I wondered too......center pivot.

Here's a link to info.

There is a video of a running Heer tractor at The Great Oregon Steam up on youtube. About 1912 with two-cylinder opposed engine with atmospheric intake valves.

Attaching two photos taken in 2013 at Brooks Oregon. Have also seen one at a tractor museum in Connecticut.
 
Yup this cruises the ground at great oregon steam up.

Steering is chain and winch drum like the steam traction engines. The entire axle steers. And the drive power is thru massive chains.
And Not machined roller chain,
But huge link chain.
I will try to find close up photo to post
 
"No locking hubs! Whilst conditions outside are dismal, stay in the comfort of your Sheer cab and attend to productive activities as your sure-footed, all traction four wheel drive pulls you through terrain where other tractors dare not tread."

I was born in the wrong century.
 
The Anzani aircraft engines of 1913-1919 had automatic inlet valves. Loat a lot of power at higher altitudes though this was probably not such a problem at the lower altitudes that the planes using then flew at at that time.
