Hey guys,

In the midst of moving to a new home and no longer having a layout, I still felt the need to get a steam fix today. I had my little Wilesco tractor out and it ran great.

Does anyone else have any of these? I bought the kit version and really enjoyed putting it together and enjoy running it.

Take care!

Matt

Cool video

My uncle has the original Mamod version, I enjoyed running it as a kid

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Nice tractor, Matt. How long will it run on a single firing?

Thanks guys!

The tractor will run for a solid 10 minutes before you have to replenish the fuel. It uses those little Esbit solid fuel cubes.

The water in the boiler lasts a long time. Once you refuel it, you’ve still got plenty of time to run. The time it takes for the steam to build back up after a refuel is pretty minimal as well.
