WELCOME TO THE STEAM PLOUGH CLUB
The 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.
In 2026 the Steam Plough Club celebrates its 60th anniversary, Full details of our events are on our special anniversary page.

“The steam engine stands on the headland and hauls the implement to and fro by means of a wire rope. All treading and compression of the soil and sub-soil associated with horse cultivation is thereby entirely avoided and the implement is driven at a much more rapid pace, throwing up the soil to a greater depth and in a loose state enabling it to derive full benefit from the influences of the atmosphere”
David Greig, September 1867
