A traction engine is a steam-powered tractor used to move heavy loads on roads, plough ground or to provide power at a chosen location. The name derives from the Latin tractus, meaning ‘drawn’, since the prime function of any traction engine is to draw a load behind it. They are sometimes called road locomotives to distinguish them from railway locomotives – that is, steam engines that run on rails.They became popular in industrialised countries from around 1850, when the first self-propelled portable steam engines for agricultural use were developed. Production continued well into the early part of the 20th century, when competition from internal combustion engine-powered tractors saw them fall out of favour.Original placed at: https://goo.gl/maps/stU4pjEALyhctkHW7 Kagu, Rapla, Estonia.Photogrammetry capture created in RealityCapture from 719 images.© Saulius Zaura www.dronepartner.lt 2023
