Welcome

The Steam Plough Club has many members world wide interested in steam ploughing with its engines and implements, personalities and rich history.  Founded in 1966 by the late Harold Bonnett the club is about keeping the tackle operating; not just the machinery but passing on the old skills too.
Members of our Club would be pleased to have your help and assistance so that together we can give the steam plough engine its proper place in the history of British agricultural engineering.
The club has a reputation for well organised events in an informal setting.  Members have every opportunity to participate whether they have engine ownership or not.  This is your chance to leave your arm chair, put on your boots and live real steam on the land.
You will find more information about ussteam ploughing and how to join the club on this website.
