Ottomeyer Mammut Plough & Giant Steam Engines
« on: September 15, 2019, 05:57:12 am »
I found this fascinating.
The largest, most powerful steam plough engines and ploughs ever built. These mighty engines and ploughs worked  the Moor Lands in Germany to mix the peat soils and sandy soils below. The plough itself weighs over 28 tons. Some of these modified engines produced over 500 hp each.
