Over Rated Deere
 
A 850 H.P. John Deere diesel
vs.
A steam tractor rated 18 H.P?

Look at the angle of the drawbar between them.
No contest like that.

angle did not play a part as much as weight did that steamer prolly out weighed the john doe at least 2 times just go to prove just cause you have horsepower don't mean you will win you have to use it

Any weight the deere had was given to the ST.
The deere was not only outweighed, the drawbar angle lifted whatever weight the deere had on the rear axle.
No weight = no traction.
Stupid demonstration.

horsepower isn't anything if you can't get it to the ground and use it.
