Exactly! More entertaining for the public than a crowd in deck chairs sitting behind a big 3-wheeled kettle.

There is even a historical precedent for enjoying yourself by messing around in a field on a traction engine.

Must have been a bit hairy on the braking (or lack thereof) with smooth rolls.

Default While not heavy haulage.
We ran a number of diesel engined machines and lorries, some of them had very tired batteries. If there was a steam roller in steam we simply used that to pull start the diesel. Never had any problems . Regards David Powell.
