We have an antique tractor and farm equipment affair at the Gratz fairgrounds every year. There's LOTZ of steam powered equipment on display and most of them are in operating condition. One of the big steam tractors is owned by a guy that lives right next to the grounds and I've seen him use it to power some equipment for the Amish farmers.
Any of them with a big flywheel about 3 or 4 feet diameter and 10 - 15 inches wide are used for that purpose. He mostly runs a big baler with his. The Amish will haul up beside it with a wagon full of loose hay and fork it into the machine. He makes a few bucks from them for his time.
