"Large-scale mechanization is the direction we envision for the future of agricultural development. Although current steam-powered agricultural machinery is quite cumbersome and inefficient, we can see the importance of mechanization."
In Kade's explanation, a steam tractor is demonstrating cultivation.
By the 1830s, research on using steam vehicles to pull farm implements for fieldwork had begun, with various countries studying tractors. East Africa was no exception, although East Africa's path differed from other nations.
But up to now, the steam-powered vehicles that countries around the world can build resemble small locomotives. Even if they don't get stuck in the fields, they compact the soil significantly.
The leading country in steam tractor development is Britain. They have managed to make steam tractors relatively small, but the high cost means that only large farms can afford such equipment.
