Your knowledge about these tractors is amazing! I really enjoyed that. Those old four wheel drive tractors take me back to the 70's in the Black Belt Region of Alabama when just about every available acre was plowed up and planted in Soybeans.
My father and uncle were considering a Steiger Canadian plant and visited the Steiger premises several times. Dad talked of the original barn plant and that the Steiger boys were building adapters for dual wheel kits and the father thought the boys were nuts messing with tractors.
I grew up in Grant County. I didn't literally mean these exact tractors just the same models. It's really flat and wide open up there. I don't live in Indiana anymore though. I thought I would grow up to be a farmer for a while but life took a different path.
28:00 You look me in the eye, and you tell me, if you move the front axle back closer to the articulation center, add a pair of smaller wheels to the front, and you tell me to my face it wouldn't look like a normal tractor.
It is top on our list to film in action. I think the farm has duals to put on it. An open station lp 2655 with duals would be cool to see in the field.
The skid steer another innovation born with the help of steiger. They helped with the design of how they were propelled and they i vested money into it which created bobcat.
You say in the video that the International tractor shown in the video was the first 4 wheel drive tractor for International, what about the 4100 series that came out about 1968?
That's a variety of tractors collected. The two things most amazing things to me is the relatively low horsepower rating of the early 4 wheel drive tractors compared to the modern tractors. Also I never realized how short lived a lot of these tractor manufactures were.
They are small in horse power today but remember when these classics were built a row crop tractor was 50-70 hp. 150-200 hp was a monster 50-60 years ago.
The 4300 pre-dated the 4366 by a dozen years. The 4300 was made for IH by Hough starting in 1961 and had the IH D-817T engine which is also found in the TD-25. There were only 44 built and it was Nebraska test number 815.
The Jackson 4wd is interesting. What kind of trouble would a tractor company like that get for using the same or identical John Deere colours? Great collection. There's a farm out in my area that collects 4wd and Steiger tractors here in Southern Ontario, Canada.
Nellson Stout sometimes leaving them as they are, with the scars and character they have earned is best. You wouldn’t want someone taking 40 or more years of your experience from you...
Good question. I just posted the answers in a video yesterday covering the first Big Bud built and how it developed. The video is posted at ua-cam.com/video/XBQVxi4mQ0s/v-deo.html
As cool as this collection is, for someone that actually works on a farm, I’d hate to work here. With as much money is spent on old tractors that have no purpose other than a collection you could afford some really nice, productive, comfortable equipment. However it is a very interesting collection of equipment and it’s nice to see all this history isn’t lost. I’m just happy I’m not the ride these old girls all year lol. We all know how rough they are.
We hope to see some of these tractors plowing like the Oliver 2655 LP. We have filmed many of these tractors at work in the field. Here is one of the Big Bud and Steiger working right by the farm m.ua-cam.com/video/Scv3zhlALlI/v-deo.html
Anyone knows the name of the firs owner of the steiger pink panther and where he lived? A long time ago i hearded that the tractor worked in oklahoma and i have found an image of it at work with the pink painting on toytractortimes, but the image is no longer available.
I made a comment about this very thing. I’d hate for my boss to spend all his money on equipment that was essentially a museum, knowing I’m planting his crop with a 30-40 year old tractor. It’s still very cool to see.
I’ve gotten to sit down with the owner and talk. That’s what I wouldn’t thought too, but as it turns out, there’s a lot less than you’d think. Most of these were rescues and came cheap. They were more or less parked and abandoned
@@bigtractorpower wow small world me and my parents probably farm maybe 20 miles from Statz northern edge. Ask your good friend if he knows about renk seed. They might know about it, because it is popular up here
how many brands (like alice chalmers, titan, ford ect) had tractors designed off of steigers, i want to learn about these tractors because I grew up on a farm and we had 2 st 325's, a cp1400, and a pta 325
V-8 engines offered allot of horse power at the time. From the late 1960’s into the early 1980’s Steiger, Oliver, White, International, Versatile, Big Bud, Massey Ferguson, Ford and John Deere all used V-8 engines in some models.
This is by far, the best collection of old tractors I've ever seen. 😎😎
Forget classic cars, this is a beautiful collection. That 2200 on terra tyres is just stunning.
Enough old cars. You see them all over.
Your knowledge about these tractors is amazing! I really enjoyed that. Those old four wheel drive tractors take me back to the 70's in the Black Belt Region of Alabama when just about every available acre was plowed up and planted in Soybeans.
the 1000 series from 1982, so damn ahead of it's time.
My father and uncle were considering a Steiger Canadian plant and visited the Steiger premises several times. Dad talked of the original barn plant and that the Steiger boys were building adapters for dual wheel kits and the father thought the boys were nuts messing with tractors.
Wow this is one of the most impressive tractor collections EVER.
What great machinery. Thank you. I rarely stick around for the whole show.
Cool stuff awesome videos. It's nice to see they're keeping history alive or not forgotten. Keep the great videos coming
The 525 Bud and the 325 Steiger are beautiful.
I really enjoyed looking at all those big tractor every single one of them.
Thanks for the walk through history.
I see many of the tractors of my childhood in Indiana in the 1970s and 1980s. It's good to see some are still working the fields.

Really nice video!!
These tractors are looking beautifull!!
Nice collection hope I can have one that big some day. I am 15 and just started one.
What an awesome collection
The first international they show actually has some massive ground clearance.
Fantastic collection
bonjour.je suis stupefait, de voir tout ses collectionneur de tracteur articuler,c' est formidable.merci a tous. congratulations.
Wonderful collection!
Regards from the UK 🍀
Thank you for the video
great video very interesting and informative thank you.
Great collection of tractors with good video and presentation.
Thank you for watching.
Good tour. Great info!
Nice collection. Love to see a video of the 2655 working
It is top on our list to film in action. I think the farm has duals to put on it. An open station lp 2655 with duals would be cool to see in the field.
that 2255 Oliver looks pretty cool with the patina just fix up the interior and use it
Fantastic....!!!!!!!!
The skid steer another innovation born with the help of steiger. They helped with the design of how they were propelled and they i vested money into it which created bobcat.
The Steiger Brothers also built their own line of Skid Steers called the Mitey Mac. I have sales lit on them.
Wow what a Great Video and content!!!
Very cool stuff thanks for posting!
Dang you no your stuf when it comes to tractors
Thank you for watching.
@bigtractorpower, how many acres do these folks farm? I think it's very impressive to see these older machines doing field work in this day and age!
Another amazing video .. best channel on youtube bar none 😆
Thank you for watching.
Again great video But this one is in a class of its own !
Good Collection
Like to see more of that long hood GMC or Chevrolet semi truck, pretty rare piece there as well.
Awesome video
Love the time capsule tour, but I didn't catch what farm collection this is? lol
Wathen farms in Evansville, IN
My favorite big big artistic weighted tractor is a Stager
Steiger has made allot of great tractors.
Simply amazing stuff! Love those Steigers. And that Oliver!
On the Big Bud Website Big Bud 16V 747 only actually produces 760 horsepower
That's how it was originally built. It underwent modifications and eventually cranked out over 1000 hp
Did that olver tractor come from factory, with LP tank or did the farm install that
The LP tank and LP engine were a factory built variation available from
Oliver.
What a treat 🍾🍾
You say in the video that the International tractor shown in the video was the first 4 wheel drive tractor for International, what about the 4100 series that came out about 1968?
And the 4300 before the 4100. And the 4156 after the 4100, and the 4166 which was introduced the year before the 4366.....
That's a variety of tractors collected. The two things most amazing things to me is the relatively low horsepower rating of the early 4 wheel drive tractors compared to the modern tractors. Also I never realized how short lived a lot of these tractor manufactures were.

SUPER TRES BIEN
Jason, half these rigs have the n14 cummins in them, why not mention that? Some people like to know :)
I'm from North Dakota!!!!
💎 = ...that CAT powered ⚙️ 72’ Oliver 2255 🚜
in his country has Massey Ferguson 50X, Ford Major ,Valmet, Agrale, CBT Oliver
The 4300 pre-dated the 4366 by a dozen years. The 4300 was made for IH by Hough starting in 1961 and had the IH D-817T engine which is also found in the TD-25. There were only 44 built and it was Nebraska test number 815.
I hope to film a 4300 some day. I have the original sales brochure on the 4300 that has cover where IH called it the 4WD3.
Sweet. My dad and I rebuilt a D-817T for our TD-25. Awesome engine starts like a new car.
dam fine vid pard and your knowledge is great to!! ty for this vid!
nice vid
The Jackson 4wd is interesting. What kind of trouble would a tractor company like that get for using the same or identical John Deere colours? Great collection. There's a farm out in my area that collects 4wd and Steiger tractors here in Southern Ontario, Canada.
good day. saw your comment, wonder where in southern Ont. you are. I'm from Kit.-Wat. area. thanks
Don Voll Kitchener/Waterloo? You're pretty close. I'm down by the Sarnia area.
They should restore some of the tractors
+Conor McDonagh several have been and I am sure more will be. It's just great so many rare ones are in one place.
Nellson Stout sometimes leaving them as they are, with the scars and character they have earned is best. You wouldn’t want someone taking 40 or more years of your experience from you...
It would be nice if you had a Knudson Hillside tractor in your collection.
It’s not Jason’s collection. Chris will probably have one eventually
Awesome collection!!!
Lot of similarities in the rago wagner and a big bud, did wagner go to big bud when jd gave them the boot?
Good question. I just posted the answers in a video yesterday covering the first Big Bud built and how it developed. The video is posted at ua-cam.com/video/XBQVxi4mQ0s/v-deo.html

So sad to see this awesome traktors dye and rust away
+Julian these tractors have been saved. If they were not in this collection they very might have been seen in for scrap.
bigtractorpower ok
they needed a 1980 7580 alis chalmers out there but awesome tractors there
A 7580 is on my top 5 which list as I have filmed a 440, 8550, 4W-305 and 4W-220.
Why did you skip the farm all M. That's the one I wanted to know more about. I know it not really a big tractor, but I am still disappointed
👋👍😊
Thank you for watching.
Wasn’t this guy on classic tractor fever?
His Big Bud 525/50 was in the 2014 calendar. I photographed it for Classic Tractor Fever.
What engine is in that co-op cougar
+Alden Johnson The Cougar II Steigers used a CAT engine.
How often do they take them out to the fields ?
Any videos of plowing in the future?
We hope to see some of these tractors plowing like the Oliver 2655 LP. We have filmed many of these tractors at work in the field. Here is one of the Big Bud and Steiger working right by the farm m.ua-cam.com/video/Scv3zhlALlI/v-deo.html
Here is the Steiger Puma 1000 planting m.ua-cam.com/video/KYBnKt3LYqY/v-deo.html
Why did MM and Oliver build so many LP models, but many other manufacturers didn’t?
It was a main focus of MM. moline Tractor sold well in Texas and that was a big LP country.
@@bigtractorpower thank you for the information. I love the channel! Keep up the GREAT work.
I want a tractor even though I don't need one!
Anyone knows the name of the firs owner of the steiger pink panther and where he lived? A long time ago i hearded that the tractor worked in oklahoma and i have found an image of it at work with the pink painting on toytractortimes, but the image is no longer available.
The Pink Panther was sold new in Oklahoma. It came from a cattle pasture to Indiana. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the original owner.
@@bigtractorpower thank you jason!
Wow were do you know all the tractors?
That is an impressive tractor collection. I see one Case IH combine in the background. How many combines they run and what make and models?
It is a Case IH 2588. You can see it in action with their grain cart tractor a Puma 1000 at m.ua-cam.com/video/cky7qlgC_jU/v-deo.html
How many acres does this farm have?
I am not sure. It is mostly all river flat ground right next to the Ohio River.
What animal makes the noise in the background at 9:00 I hear it all the time
The monstrous Cicada!
MuscleTrucker thanks I finally know it gets annoying sometimes
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it took me forever to figure out what you were talking about. I don’t even notice cicadas anymore because it’s such a common sound.
are these fully operational
Can’t wait till they restore that 3300
Where is this farm located?
Evansville,Indiana
Thanks..
It is in Evansville, Indiana.
Thanks.
Wathen Farms are located at exit 3 off I-69, south Green River Road
At 3:54 is that a Michigan 35 wheel Loader? Thanks
That the kind of engine they should have in four wheel drive V8
What's the Wagner unit at 10:52, again?
How recent is this vid
It was filmed on Sunday August 14.
Quick question. Why did the Puma 1000 have a chain hooked from the draw bar to the lift arms?
+ford302redneck I am not sure. Maybe they pulled something with it. The farm is on a river. Maybe they moved drift wood with it.
Most likely because it was the easiest way to stow the chain while still being easily accessible.
To support the weight of the planter on the draw bar. Eliminates excess flexing.
What tractor is that at 23:06 in the background?
That's a lot of money tied up in tractors that are hardly used.
I made a comment about this very thing. I’d hate for my boss to spend all his money on equipment that was essentially a museum, knowing I’m planting his crop with a 30-40 year old tractor. It’s still very cool to see.
I’ve gotten to sit down with the owner and talk. That’s what I wouldn’t thought too, but as it turns out, there’s a lot less than you’d think. Most of these were rescues and came cheap. They were more or less parked and abandoned
I know the statz brothers, they still farm today wow small world
Very cool. One of my good friends is a cousin to the Statz.
@@bigtractorpower wow small world me and my parents probably farm maybe 20 miles from Statz northern edge. Ask your good friend if he knows about renk seed. They might know about it, because it is popular up here
Can I move there?
You recorded with camera or cell phone
+agro do brasil I use a cannon video camera. On a rare occasion my iPhone.
I'm sorry what was the name of the farm
Wathen family farm
Did they have PTO lol
Wasn't it Steiger that was the first to hit 300 horsepower?
It would be a tie between Big Bud and Steiger.
how many brands (like alice chalmers, titan, ford ect) had tractors designed off of steigers, i want to learn about these tractors because I grew up on a farm and we had 2 st 325's, a cp1400, and a pta 325
I wonder why Steiger decided to use V-8's so frequently.
V-8 engines offered allot of horse power at the time. From the late 1960’s into the early 1980’s Steiger, Oliver, White, International, Versatile, Big Bud, Massey Ferguson, Ford and John Deere all used V-8 engines in some models.
It's too bad case doesn't paint their steiger-case lime green
Steigers have been painted red two years longer than they were green as of this year. I have filmed a Steiger green 480 Quadtrac.
Yeah there’s a few that are lime green. Like the new Versatile tractors that feature the classic colors. It’s strictly a nostalgia thing.
in the United States, it has Valtra Valmet tractor
+agro do brasil one farm I film at runs a Valtra 8950.
Don't let them rust please !!!
The Russian build Kirovets tractor looks a lot alike , maybe the Russians had a agricultural "spie" back then
You make money with videos
+agro do brasil This a hobby/tractor fan channel.

I also have the 1:64 pink panther
