Readily available, low boiling point, non corrosive (relatively), and ecologically safe. What more do you want?

Also a ridiculously high heat capacity. It does make sense.

Molten salt. Lower pressure, higher efficiency, and I believe less reactive in the event of an uh-oh.

  The molten salt is used as the first step. It then makes steam through a heat exchanger. Molten salt is safe next to the actual tractor because water is not a good coolant in case of emergency.

    Oh, I was just joking around. What my water system is missing is molten salt.
    
    Although for the sake of preposterousness, I’m going to suggest we use the molten salt to turn a giant water wheel.
