Steam ploughing engine pulling a Cat

Rally in the valley 2012

I attended a traction engine rally in Bridgnorth (near Wolverhampton) England. The site is in a valley next to the river Seven.
I filmed Guy and Hal Debes pulling a Caterpillar using the drum of their Fowler ploughing engine called “ The Chief ”.
They had a strain gauge to read the tonnage, which I believe, was somewhere near to 8 Tonnes
Sorry for the shaky film it was done using a compact camera.
