The Steelhorse tractor, known for its robust design and reliability, has become a vital piece of equipment on Australian farms. Featuring a powerful engine and advanced hydraulic systems, it is engineered to handle a variety of agricultural tasks, from ploughing to harvesting. The tractor’s construction emphasizes durability, utilising high-quality materials that withstand the rigours of rural use. Additionally, its user-friendly controls and comfortable operator station enhance productivity, making it an essential asset for modern farming operations. With a focus on efficiency and performance, the Steel horse tractor continues to support the agrarian community in its pursuit of increased yield and operational effectiveness.

The Steel horse tractors on display at the Wyalkatchem CBH & Agricultural Museum are still operational tractors to this day (even if they are harder to start than when first put in the museum). We are lucky to have not one but two of these tractors both in fair condition considering they were both used for farming in the local area before coming to the museum.

At the end of Kevin’s shed you can go out the door set into the big sliding door and see all the Agricultural & roading machinery in Graham & Paul’s sheds & the yard.

“Kevin’s Shed”, named for Kevin Jones, a founding member, has some signage on display but is mainly focused on more than 2 dozen tractors from last century including the operational, award winning “Waterloo Boy”  - a rare kerosene powered tractor from the 1920’s

Waterloo Boy

The Waterloo Boy tractor, developed by the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company in the early 20th century, represents a significant advancement in agricultural machinery. Introduced in 1914, it was one of the first successful gasoline-powered tractors, designed to increase farming efficiency and reduce reliance on horse power. Notable for its distinctive design and robust construction, the Waterloo Boy featured a two-cylinder engine that provided the necessary power to tackle a variety of farming tasks. Its impact on agriculture was profound, as it revolutionised field operations and contributed to the mechanisation of farming, setting the stage for future innovations in tractor design and performance.

The Waterloo Boy is a significant piece on display at the Wyalkatchem CBH & Agricultural Museum. Visitors to the museum can appreciate not only the engineering marvel of the Waterloo Boy but also its impact on local farming communities, transforming the way crops were cultivated and paving the way for modern farming techniques.
