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.
