The Fowler tractor was produced by John Fowler & Co Engineers, who also produced railway locomotives. The large flywheel on the side was powered by the single cylinder engine. Rather than a key, these tractors were started up by inserting a shotgun-style cartridge containing a smouldering piece of paper infused with saltpetre, which provided the charge to start the engine.
