The 110HP Case Steam Engine required 8 man crews!

Built at the turn of the century between 1910 – 1913, the 110 HP Case Steam Plows were also called “Road Locomotives” because of the their sound when under a heavy draw. These amazing machines were able to generate 3000ft-lbs of torque at 240 RPM with a top speed of 2.37 MPH.
