Old technology still popular at Wisconsin farm show

The latest agricultural tools are on display at Wisconsin’s Farm Technology Days, but many people are here to see the old machines. 

Kevin Schock and his family have brought two of their old Case steam traction engines, which he says are a lot of work to run, but also provide a lot of power. “Oh yeah, twelve ton. We’ll pull eight 14-inch bottoms. You won’t find a 22-horse tractor here that will pull eight 14’s.”

But all of that power requires a lot of extra work filling up on water and fuel.
