I love the fact that Big Equipment built their Big Bud tractors to be easily modified. It allows farmers to do things like this and extend the life of the tractor by decades.
Great Job! It was good you got your dad involved in the camera shots, it will keep him young. May you have rain, no hail no bugs and teach your mother how to run it. Have a great season. elmore
Thank you for the great video, just ran across it. I was wondering if it was cost-effective as far as fuel per hour or fuel cost per acre versus what is inside the 625/50 big bud. I know it is more horsepower and probably by far more torque I believe the Walker's tractor is turned up a little bit to about 700 horse if I remember right I was just wondering how much it cost to feed that monster
Just because it made 800 on the engine dump doesn’t mean you have to use all 800 all the time most of the time when pulling a 76’ borgault air seeder we have it idled back at around 1800 rpm but it is indeed thirsty there’s no doubt about it I’m not sure how much more it would burn over an 1150 Cummins that’s an 18.8 liter motor and this is a 27liter
We did use the stock transmission they are built for 1000 hp. We upgraded the torque converter to hold the power. The hydraulic system was an open center system and we swapped it to 2 closed center pumps. Now we have a 76' seeder to pull with it.
@John Allan - I can't imagine anyone wants to constantly get work done on their subpar engine. Seems more sensible to get a proper good engine so you're not spending all your time in the shop.

6:28 is where the motor is first start is and after is it working
You guys live over in welkers part of the country? Montana!
You messed up. To fix it, you must continue to make videos of this tractor

Please make and show us some us video s of this bad dog doing work!
I second that.
Did you use the stock transmission, and how many mods did it need to have adequate hydraulics?

I'm seeing this a year after the making, any operating videos?
You would think they would have huge venting fans for the shops...
Haha that would be great to have
Good job. But the portrait mode guy should be fired 😄
good work
Wow the no footage of pulling the motor killed the whole video
Which motor did you put in ? Cat V 12
In the description
What motor did you put in it?
Cat 3412
That's cool!
Very Nice...
Music ruined the video.
Who drops a garbage cat motor in a Big Bud
could be much worse--a Iveco.
A guy who wants to get some work done 👍

Some big bids were built with cat engines
@@mynameisraythe 3400 series Cats are very reliable engines.
