At the Laidley Pioneer Village in SE Qld resides this 1928 Linn logging tractor, they were made in New York state. Its a magnificent machine, 6 cylinder Waukesha engine, transmission brake only, 3 speed, no creature comforts. The engine is very torquey, if you take your foot off the clutch in top gear at idle the 5 ton Linn just trundles away without hesitation.
Top speed is 7 mph which nowadays seems slow but back then it was 7 times faster than the bullock teams it replaced. 4 of these Linns came to the district and 3 are known to have survived.
There is heaps of Linn info that can be googled for those who want to know more. This is a good one
