It was well written and interesting from start to finish! John K wrote on Tuesday, December 05, 2000 (PST): That is one tightly written and well researched piece. For a 17 yo or anybody, the stories are still out there, just looking for them is the hard work. Good Job. An old Nebraska Farmer. Fred Welsh wrote on Sunday, December 10, 2000 (PST): This article was nicely done. I really appreciate the information on cost and on the amount of power that could be generated by these machines. Well Done.... Paul Chambers wrote on Monday, December 11, 2000 (PST): A great article and very informative. Kelly Morgan wrote on Friday, December 22, 2000 (PST): Very informative! I have to agree with some of the others who commented, more young people should keep their heritage in perspective. There is a small amusement park in PA called Knobels that uses a few steam engines to power some exibits. It is well worth visiting.

Too bad more your age can't write like this. puff wrote on Wednesday, December 27, 2000 (PST): this was a good report but the dates are misleading. plowing with traction engines did not start untill about 1876 when case introduced the first traction engine. the j.i. case company did not make many extremly large engines, there is only about half a dozen still around that is over 100 hp and the farmall line was in business earlier that 1924. mccormick and deering was tow companies that produced internal combustion trators. they emerged in 1904 and the farmall line came shotrly after that. jake wrote on Tuesday, October 29, 2002 (PST): Thank you!! Robert Montgomery wrote on Thursday, December 19, 2002 (PST): Hey, Brandon, Are you the Brandon Knapp who submitted a picture of a 1949 Case VAC tractor to the YT website? If so, I would was wondering if you have any additional photos from different angles. I grew up with a 1949 VAC narrow wheel, but a lack of parts forced us to sell it for another tractor (everything had to be usable in those days). Anyway, I would very much like to be able to see the various features again. If you have any you might be able to email, I would very much like to know. Keep up the good work. Your article is impressive. Darryl Nealis wrote on Monday, February 02, 2004 (PST): Brandon, a very good article. I grew up in the Eastern panhandle of West Virginia in Hampshire county in the late 30's and early 40's. I had the opportunity to see steam powered tractors run saw mills in the woods at our farms. Although I was very young and only had the job of carring the lunch boxes to my uncles who logged with horses at that time, I still remember how impressive that steam tractor was as I sat on the bank by the creek and watched the men saw timber with it. Good work, keep it up. Matthew Bird wrote on Tuesday, October 19, 2004 (PDT): This was a very informative article, and also very interesting. Rustyfarmall wrote on Monday, April 25, 2005 (PDT): The early day farms were not 100 acres in size, most of them were much closer to 40 acres, and probably less than 20 acres was actually plowed under, so the theory of a farmer walking 800 miles just to get the plowing done is a bit far-fetched. A farm of 100 acres would have been quite an operation and would have required several hired men. Emily Grant wrote on Friday, May 06, 2005 (PDT): Thank you brandon I am a student and just like you but a little diffrent I am doing a report on the History of John Deere and tractors I hope you don't mind me using your well written paper as a source. I think thank you must be the kinda of kid that does not want to see the world turn in to a big city the only thing I thought could have been added is the relationship between the Dust Bowl and the steam poured tractor. Thank you for the usefull resource. R. Wells wrote on Monday, June 04, 2007 (PDT): June 16 Case Steam Tractor will be for sale go to farmauction.net and check it out excelent condition.
