The old fella told me how many men it took to operate the combine and the sacking crew but I don't remember what he said, it was several. I found this about the Holt combines. -- In 1890, Holt built his first experimental steam traction engine, nicknamed "Old Betsy". Built on a 24-foot-long (7.3 m) frame, it developed 60 horsepower (45 kW) from a single cylinder (11-inch diameter (280 mm), 12-inch stroke (300 mm)).
