sort of, but not …
sort of, but not really. HP steam is a British invention. Britain (Stevenson et all) championed high pressure steam, and made the first steam propelled, WORKING, vehicles, and made the first tractors. Yanks worked in parallel. We had the nasty, big fields. WE made the largest and least-fussy steam tractors, which genre really got into ‘gear’ (production) here in the USA, around 1880. Brits invented. BOTH sides, improved and perfected, and lived and died, and yet, survive.

Reid Welch here. …
Reid Welch here. YOU should be on network TV.
I can say more, and will add to this commentary soon.
YOU did everything right, all by yourself, with the aid and co-operation of GENIUS farmers, who, as always, were never dumb clucks, either.
And the son, the Wheel Man. Kudos to him, to the restorer, and to YOU, Mr. Derer, for sharing this modern (forever fresh) triumph of perfected steam technology. Thank you very much, all of you involved (three men, so far as I can see).

Another great one, Chuck! Keep them coming.
As far as the anemic-sounding power rating goes, everyone should keep in mind that nothing stops expanding steam. Also, the grunt is in the torque not the horsepower.

An interesting …
An interesting thing about steam engines, more than the power, it is torque doing the work. Assuming it operates at 300 rpm (I suspect even slower), the power/torque equation gives us 437.6 lb-ft of torque. At 150 rpm, this number climbs to 875 lb-ft. Steam engines are truly incredible for this reason, what a great and mechanical beast indeed.
