  • Williams Farms partnered with Titan Tires to upgrade this rare Series 4 BIG BUD 440 with LSW 1000/45R32 TL OPTITRAC tires. Combined with a 550HP Detroit 60 series, this should make for a tremendous seeding tractor. We were just happy to be there for the swap!

    The reason I like the Big Buds is because they are just steel and more steel. No plastic, no fluff, no mass of hoses and wires, no unnecessary sensors to tell you when something is thinking about thinking it may break next week, maybe. Just lots of heavy steel, a big engine and transmission and driveline along with a hydraulic pump, sure you can add a GPS and auto steer if you want. Just about anybody can work on them with a little mechanical knowledge and you can rebuild them forever and keep them working. A basic simple to operate and maintain tractor like the Big Bud is a no brainer great investment for any farmer needing a big tractor.

      As long as it isn't wider or longer than the frame, just about any engine can be put in a BUD. I hear the 60 series is a good running engine.

    So glad you guys were invited to see the new tires getting put on the Williams 440. 2003 my family went on a vacation around Montana, and my choice of stop was the Williams farm to see the 747. Got to know Robert and Randy real well from that, plus whenever they'd come to North Dakota for toy shows selling the toy models. Hope you can make the trek to film them seeding this year!

      Big Bud Nelson was the chief mechanic for Willie Hensler who had a Wagner dealership in Havre MT when the John Deere/Wagner agreement left them with no 4wd tractor to sell. They designed and built the first Big Bud tractors.Ron Harmon bought the company in 1975.

    The farm shows have had the 700 out, but the tires used on it look drastically under-sized. I think it needs LSW's also.
