Rumley
This little beast was made in 1920. It is the light and compact successor to its 1912 predecessor (no longer on the farm). Manufcatured in the USA it still runs and is a star at the local tractor pull events. It weighs about 3 tonnes and its engine generates about 30hp. My grandfather had to go and be trained in its use in Calgary before having it shipped home (cost of about $1300 - seen the bill of sale). His use of it so impressed the manufacturers that they subsequently sold him a stripper machine interest free. Awsome to hear it run!
