In this news posting, we find Michael Guy and Jon Hull at the Milton Steam Era festival operating a massive Sawyer-Massey steam tractor owned by the Ontario Steam Heritage Museum in Puslinch, Ontario. As you can see from the pictures, these massive tractors take a lot of care and attention in order to keep everything well lubricated, the fire properly managed and the boiler steam pressure under control. During Steam Era, these tractors and other vehicles travelled around the grounds to the delight of visitors and also participated in daily parades past the grandstand.
