1908 Hornsby Chain Track Tractor

that looks like a real horse...

With those round bottom roller frames I'll bet that stands on end with a hard pull. Unless those 2 bottom rollers let it set down when pulling.
Our Cats would tend to nose up just a bit when on a hard pull like pulling an old gywire out of the ground or plowing in hard dirt in summer.

Yes, quite a skid plate under that rear end.

Quick rocking motion could cause boiler explosion?

probably had baffles in the boiler to prevent sloshing.

From looking at it in the picture here. I thought maybe the single idler roller on the top would, under pull, be forced down by the track, there by forcing the bottom 2 rollers to separate and lower the machine enough to flatten the track so that it would contact the ground the full length. After watching the videos, it is apparent that that will not happen.
