73 years old. No crew. No sponsors. Just an old steam tractor and something his father wrote on a strip of tape decades ago. Everyone in that fairground had already decided how this ended. They were wrong. The part that made grown men go quiet wasn't the result. It was what he did between rounds. AI voice and visuals used.

Anyone who knows anything about steam engines Will bet against the computer
About 30 years ago my Dad took his 1938 Oliver 80 to a pull at Sigourney IA. He pulled & did ok in the antique classes They then had a "wide open 6500 lb" class. Just for giggles Dad entered it, going up against modifieds, minirods, trucks, etc. one guy commented to a friend of ours "What's that old fool think he's going to do with that old clunker?" Nolan looked at him and said , "Figure he'll end up in the money (top 5 places) Dad came in 2nd...
Yes the older things still work today.
Newer doesn't always mean better, possibly more efficient but not better ! ( farmed off and on for fifty years)
Then the john deere software went haywire and he couldn't do anything with it , because john deere locked him out without their special scanner
Love it and I think us outlaws will need all the old cars trucks, etc we can get eventually.
Too cool simpler and more efficient. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The most important part of a machine for it to operate at peak performance is located 18 inches in front of the control panel.
Hp vs torque
Tge old ones knew how to build things to last and keep doing the job. The new electronic and computerised will not be stull working 100 years from now 😂😂😂😂😂
Electronics can't fight against mesh gearing strength. Brut force pulls stumps! They built it with strength in mind to get the job done. Electricity doesn't mesh with gearing Because technology wasn't figured out yet.
It is so stupid that people forget about how much torque a steam engine has!
New doesn't always mean better.
The farmers i know got hot tubs in their John Deere's. Things have changed.
Fantastic!! I love this story of old beating new.
Surprised the John Deere didn't go into limp mode . 😮😅😅😅😅😅😊
Obviously pure fantasy. 65 HP could barely pull that John Deere if it was in neutral.
Just because it's old doesn't mean it isn't good.
Absolutely Magnificent
Well done.
