Description
English: This year’s annual Grain Harvest Festival features a steam tractor that drives a belt powered antique threshing machine. The 1910 75-horsepower Case “Montana Special” steam tractor, that was brought to the 1900 era village at the Iowa Living History Farms, Urbandale, IA, on Aug. 5, 2017. The owned by Nick Foster, says the tractor is known as a breaker, because it was used to initially breakup the Montana prairie soil. The special purpose 3-foot wide rear wheels were needed for when the Montana soil became soft. Operating the tractor are Clara Bergman and Connor Wilson who have been learning about antique farm steam engines and tractor operation from Foster. Today, the thresher is being used to separates oat seeds from the harvested plant. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
