Those old steamers had gobs of torque at idle, much less pouring on the coals. Pretty cool - gotta commend 'em for thinking to try this to see what really would happen!
Don't know if it could handle some of the large 4 wheel drives with 8 wheels, but for an engine that's rated at 18 horsepower that's pretty impressive. I think that John Deere is rated at 850 hp.
Pretty damn neat!
