Me, my dad, and my stepfather run a micro farm in South Slovakia, when i tell you it's small, it is TINY, we don't have a harvester, but have all the things we need to get the job done, my dad's tractor is a Zetor Major 6911(69hp, 11 means rear wheel drive, diesel) and my stepfather's tractor is a Zetor Crystal 8911(89hp, rear wheel drive, diesel). That's all😁
Impressive machine, but unfortunately it's only causing damage to the land. Tilling ruins the soil composition, dries it out and deprives it of nutrients. This is turning previously rich soil into literally a desert around here. No till is the way to go. Policulture is even better. In my country the best wheat is grown using a no till method, without artificial fertilizers (which distort the protein in the grain). As a result of factory farming methods, the nutrient density in our crops is 60-200 times LESS than it used to be in the 1950s.
@@aaaaaa2206 Your numbers are off, nutrient levels dropped somewhere in the range of 10-15% but that loss is offset by the many fold increase in cropyield.
@@matthewlink2254 yea I always wondered what it would be like to take a locomotive diesel engine and stick it into a tractor! You can use 1 of the pistons out of 1 of those engines as a coffee table😃
There is a time and place for everything, that field and that tractor were meant for each other. Lot of time effort and money to keep that puppy moving. But Bud earns his keep for sure. Thanks for doing the video and thanks for sharing.
As an European seeing the size of everything is mind-blowing. A single 1215 hectare field is difficult to imagine for us, even this monster tractor seem tiny to work on that. Insane video.
I could watch this machine all day! The Big Bud 16V-747 really redefines what heavy-duty farming is all about. Hats off to the team that created this beast
I’m not very knowledgeable with machines but I swear the vid I seen of the 150 case steam engine cud damn near keep up with this modern massive fucking tractor for ploughing. It was going much slower but if they had the ppl not standing on the 50’ plough and instead had more plough to pull I swear it wud be pulling the same 80’ plough just with less speed. I think if they made some changes to the original design of the 150 case steam engine and made some adjustments to the plough the 150 case steam engine wud be able to do the same work as this modern tractor.
@@baileydombroskie3046 That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. There’s no way in hell a Case 150 traction engine would be able to keep up with any modern tractor. They go 2 miles per hour pulling a 50’ wide plough. That Big Bud does 7 miles per hour while pulling a 80’ wide plough. It’s vastly superior and it’s not even the fastest tractor.
@@UltraMagaFan they made a new world record for ploughing with the case 150 traction engine last year. They made a 50 forrow 60' plough and it was just putting along. It's so small and heavy of a tractor yet has so damn much power.
@@baileydombroskie3046 Yeah the thing is powerful, it makes 5000 foot pounds of torque, but it’s too damn slow. It moves at 2 miles per hour. Modern tractors can go 7+ miles per hour. The slow speed is the main reason traction engines aren’t used anymore.
Go check out Welker farms, they were there when she got new shoes and are actually neighbors of the current owner.. They have a few big buds of their own..
@@familytraditiontransportat7951 They should take it to the Welkers and put some hours on it, i suppose the transport costs would outweigh everything though :(
I first saw big bud in a 2000 tractor calendar, and was fortunate to see it in independence IA. I took a trip on my goldwing to Haver mt.hoping to see the Williams bros and it, but it was on tour. So it's great to watch the videos of it, wear my t-shirt,and view my DVDs of it,truly remarkable!!
I was going to Northern Montana College at Havre when this tractor was designed and built. At that time I could not think that it would last this long. But at Northern Manufacturing, they designed things with enough safety factor built in to them to last. Greg, and Dale you helped build a monster tractor that has worked and lasted! Hello from north east Montana.
These are the babies that sent every farmer in Australia to the wall in the 1980's .. yes they are glorious, yes they do a great job, yes they cost a fortune to build and to buy and another fortune to fuel up .. the Australians bought Russian Pumas actually they went broke just the same.
@@martintimothy1915 Some of the first 1976-78 imported Bud tractors (KT450) were sold to board acre wheat farmers in N.S.W. with larger holdings one was 'Dr Bond' a city investor whom had 3 x KT450's and the hired staff that run them may had of contributed to later mechanical issues. Then later the early series 525/50 had finial drive issues and in the hot n dusty outback punishing condition in cleared scrub ground on timber skidders tires with very large sweep plows or off sets hitch up to as one owner I had known mention that he had to re-race the outer planetary bearings every 1000 hours or so on this series.

Look up the videos on the Case 150 that was built ground up using the original plans. There is also a video of it pulling a John Deere 35 bottom plow. Very impressive steam power.
I saw this tractor when it was in the farm museum in Iowa. It's great to see it back in the field where it belongs. This thing is some real heavy iron and will last many more years.
You should totally come over here. The midwest is full of endless expanses and horizons, small farming towns that look like they're right out of the 1950's and great people too. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, both of the Dakotas, Iowa, Montana. The western part of Minnesota around the town of Wheaton is one of my favorites, just hit the highways on a hot summer day and just cruise.
When I saw the intro to the video, I said that’s the Williams Brothers Tractors. The Welker’s Farms in Shelby Montana they have two Big Buds. Also one called Big Brute, use it for spraying and fire fighting on crop fires. Love seeing the big Buds.
What an amazing machine! It’s great to see it out in the field working rather than sitting in a museum. What I didn’t see in the video was the diesel tanker truck. I am sure you would need one to do 3000 acres.
@@camojoe83 Why so negative? I mean just like everything, you drive them for a few years and stuff will break, because its wears out. I guarantee vehicles you drive will break down and /or have parts wear out.
-Now... the puzzle pieces are being inserted into place. As King William of the Gates can arrange it. Eliminating the final nuisance..., infestation, from the global dirt, would rule supreme in excellence.. Except for certain 'special' elements.. of course ;}
It was an exciting machine to film and see back in the field. I drove it in the parking lot of Big Equipment in 2007. This was so much different seeing it work. I appreciated working with Riley to film this one. He got some great drone shots. Thank you for linking us up. I am glad to see Scot made it home. Praying for his speedy recovery.
Love this video! We farm with a pair of Big Buds in central North Dakota. We also have the same exact chisel plow that the Williams Brothers run. We however run spikes on ours instead of sweeps like them. Thank you so much for documenting the 747 back in action, I'm glad to see that it back to work!
What a great scene to see! We scaled back a few years ago but kept some goodies favourite one I still have is the Minneapolis Moline a4t-1600 not the biggest retro tractor but it’s fun
Thank you for watching. There was a great VHS tape about the 747 twenty years ago that featured it at work. It was exciting to bring this big tractor in action to UA-cam.
I think of my father farming a few 100 acres with a team of horses & how a 3000 acre field would blow his mind much more Big Bud. Its amazing to say the least!!! Love it
Its been 15 years since I ran a chopper that had a Detroit Diesel in it. I still hear the roar of it in my head. You definitely don't forget that sound.
"Hey, I bought 3,000 acre field on-top a mountain!" "What?" "And I drove the world's biggest tractor up a mountain pass to plough the field" "Surrrrrrrre buddy!......."
Just got to say that this is a real tractor working a real field. It’s been a while since the Biggest Bud has been in a field rolling just broke out of a museum and those new titan tires are massive bet that tractor rides as smooth as a caddy
I just recently acquired a restored steiger tiger. It's rated at 5:25 horsepower. A wonderful man in Iowa sold it to me. It goes in a parade this saturday.
This is amazing. I grew up in the northeast on a hardscrable farm. We had a 13 horse John Deere to work the land. After a few decades I bought a 32 horse Massey Ferguson to take over. The power steering was a great change. I could park all my equipment in the tire rut this beast makes. That 3000 acre field pretty mind blowing since 40 acres is the most I've ever worked. It's a whole different animal out there. Amazing!!!
Certainly still needs more sound proofing from what I observed & heard. She's still far too loud to be sitting in there cranking along, without wearing additional hearing protection for 8 to 12+ hours at a time. Also need to update the cab with a better modern rear facing camera setup for seeing what's going on behind ya & for hitching up implements. I wonder if that old relic of a camera currently mounted at the rear, and the mini-tv, are still functional anymore? Regardless, I'm sure its picture quality is garbage. I'm all for keeping things original, but sometimes certain modern updates to any machine are very needed, for the health and well-being of the operator.
@@turbodiesel4709 with modern technology all that is very possible, sound deadn the crap out of the cockpit, wear a noise cancelling headphone or something, add a monitor with a backup camera, add some sensors to a stand alone monitoring system add a modern radio and sound system, maybe redo the exhaust system somewhat to not have it right next to your ear and boom
@@robertstetson4077 you sure need headphones in this thing, because else your hearing will get permanent damaged. The owner did spend alot of money to keep this thing running, so i would have welded a new cab over the excisting one with double windows and insulate the engine itself and buy some exhaust mufflers that silence the engine some more. Anyway, i would go crazy when i would have to ride in this thing for just a single day as it is right now.
Great shots in the video. Thanks for taking the time to film this. Good to see these machines still in full time operation obviously well built. Wouldn't still be running if the owners didn't appreciated the value, craftsmanship and keep these well maintained. thks
Our chisel plow behind the John Deere D was twelve feet wide. On another subject once field repair welded a gravel crusher cylinder jaw with over 400 lbs of 7018 weld rod. A very large truck transported crusher. When jaw broke the entire machine hoping around like a rabbit from rotary jaw assembly imbalances. Successful repair saved contractor immensely in production schedules.
@@bigtractorpower Certainly my friend love the videos. Yes started welding in 1973. Originally most all stick but nowadays it’s virtually all wire. Metal core wire is very effective. My word I never kept track of filler rods and wire but I can guarantee it’s a lot.
Great video! Thanks for making it! The biggest tractor on our farm is a 930 Case that we haven't heard run yet. We just saved it from scrap last weekend.
Sight yes, but i dont like the two stroke sound that much. Makes it sound like a soving machine. It should have the sound of growling deeb v8, to make it sound as powerfull and badass as it is.
@@RoisinT2 it does have a V8... 2 of them bolted together, actually. The sound in any video wont do the symphony of that old Jimmy any justice. They actually sound REALLY good. Had the pleasure of driving a Buzzin Dozen Detroit and it was heaven on the ears.
@@RoisinT2 you had said it needs a V8. The engine is a 16V92 made by Detroit Diesel. They only made castings up to a V8. Detroit needed ways to make more power for industrial applications and cast all of their engines to bolt together into each other. The "Buzzin Dozen" I used to drive was 2-6V71's bolted together to make a 12 cyl engine. This tractor is 2-8V92's bolted together. 8=8 cyl, V=v shaped block, 92= number of cubic inches per cyl.
Williams brothers probably do/used to work 10-12 hrs a day, but 50 hours for just one field, that’s exactly why they need these huge tractors, the Detroit won’t complain, it can run 24/7
I don't know much about farming and somehow I ended up here but this beast is awesome! Glad to see this beast is out there back at work. Very cool video. 👍
How many acres were they farming for something like that to be a viable purchase? My parents had a dairy/grain farm when I was born. Unfortunately low milk prices and rising interest rates cost us the farm. It was pigs and tobacco when I was old enough to work.
@@Parents_of_Twins Here’s a link to a pretty good article. At the time they running 10,000 acres of cotton amongst other crops. www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-11-16-0311150078-story.html
The 16V-149 Detroit Diesel was a massive engine and I'm glad I had a part in building it. It truly is a strong engine that will take whatever you want it to do.
Dave Crupel the reason I say that is we had a driverless orchard tractor in 1974 (Massey Fergusson). Although it was primitive by today's standards, driverless technology is advancing rapidly. Although this huge tractor is a bit of a big boy's toy, I'm sure someone in the US could make a battery version of it.
What a monster! No such thing as having to have computer codes to work on this one. This ain't nothing like the 7-bottom chisle plow I pulled driving a Case 1030 for my dad in the early 70s. He finished out his farming life in the mid-80s with an articulated Case 4890. And we thought the 4890 was a hoss. He saved that tractor for himself mostly while I was on a JD 6030 (the first tractor I drove with a cab, a/c, and am/fm radio) pulling 10 foot off-set and 20 foot leveling harrows. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Tractors, combines and implements have come a long way since I left the farm in the early 80s. Took up flying and made a career out of aviation, which was way more fun.
I always thought that the Oliver and MM's 4WD tractors of the late 60's and early 70's were big! Bud those Big Bud's were really ahead of their time! WOW!!!
When you think of torque, remember this is a 2 strike diesel. One turn of the crank, 16 power pulses. You have seen the blower (supercharger) on a dragster? BB has two just to move the exhaust out and two turbos to move the air in.
I plant about 7000 acres of canola and wheat in Western Victoria, Australia. What we call paddocks are as big as 5000 acres and you spend literally 12 hours a day in those paddocks its lonely but in my opinion the most rewarding thing in the world.
I remember the Steigger tractor in the 70s but this beast is amazing. Dwarfs everything around it. Gotta love the Detroit diesel sound. Iconic and strong. Great and informative video !

"Hey, I bought 3,000 acre field on-top a mountain!"
"What?"
"And I drove the world's biggest tractor up a mountain pass to plough the field"
"Surrrrrrrre buddy!......."
I drove it just the other day bud and I was the one to drive it down the bench so chill ur tits bud.and it’s not a mountain pass bud it’s a bench
Just got to say that this is a real tractor working a real field. It’s been a while since the Biggest Bud has been in a field rolling just broke out of a museum and those new titan tires are massive bet that tractor rides as smooth as a caddy
"I swear!"
"Yeah, I got Big Bud DLC for Farming Simulator too!"
My Name bud it’s not a lie give me one of ur @ I’ll prove it. I got to cuz my dads good friends with the Williams brothers
Sinecode I got proof give me one of ur @
I watched the tires go on that big beast. Truly amazing tractor
Very cool I made a video on the tire swap. Maybe you’re in the background.
Me too.....
Chisel plowing with the Big Bud 16V-747 is really an interesting experience! Thanks for sharing this video!
I just recently acquired a restored steiger tiger. It's rated at 5:25 horsepower. A wonderful man in Iowa sold it to me. It goes in a parade this saturday.
The drone shot starting at 3:55 was epic! Great job on this video!
just amazing footage on these mountains! AWESOME!
When the tractor was climbing i tough too myself an open shot most look awesome and boom that beautiful drone shot... .... Amazing....
@@jorgemrivera5973 LOL, your spelling is/was terrible, but I managed to figure out what you meant after re-reading your comment a couple of times.
Truly!

So good to see that monster back to working in Montana.
One of your best videos ever. Would be interesting to find out how much work was needed to get the tractor field ready after sitting so many years.
Thats ridiculously powerful. Pulling that 80ft plough needs so much torque.
This is amazing. I grew up in the northeast on a hardscrable farm. We had a 13 horse John Deere to work the land. After a few decades I bought a 32 horse Massey Ferguson to take over. The power steering was a great change. I could park all my equipment in the tire rut this beast makes. That 3000 acre field pretty mind blowing since 40 acres is the most I've ever worked. It's a whole different animal out there. Amazing!!!
You need to have the guys at Welker Farms rebuild that cab for you.
That would be awesome!
Yessir
Certainly still needs more sound proofing from what I observed & heard. She's still far too loud to be sitting in there cranking along, without wearing additional hearing protection for 8 to 12+ hours at a time.
Also need to update the cab with a better modern rear facing camera setup for seeing what's going on behind ya & for hitching up implements.
I wonder if that old relic of a camera currently mounted at the rear, and the mini-tv, are still functional anymore? Regardless, I'm sure its picture quality is garbage.
I'm all for keeping things original, but sometimes certain modern updates to any machine are very needed, for the health and well-being of the operator.
@@turbodiesel4709 with modern technology all that is very possible, sound deadn the crap out of the cockpit, wear a noise cancelling headphone or something, add a monitor with a backup camera, add some sensors to a stand alone monitoring system add a modern radio and sound system, maybe redo the exhaust system somewhat to not have it right next to your ear and boom
@@rubenbraekman4515 Yes, I know. That was my whole point.
Got to love those old Detroit diesel two strokes
same
ua-cam.com/video/4iQfUkvqjCM/v-deo.html
I wouldn't want to sit in that screaming noise all day.
@@3DPeter between the muffler and the cab maybe some noise canceling headphones it's not too bad
@@robertstetson4077
you sure need headphones in this thing, because else your hearing will get permanent damaged.
The owner did spend alot of money to keep this thing running, so i would have welded a new cab over the excisting one with double windows
and insulate the engine itself and buy some exhaust mufflers that silence the engine some more. Anyway, i would go crazy when i would have
to ride in this thing for just a single day as it is right now.
Great shots in the video. Thanks for taking the time to film this. Good to see these machines still in full time operation obviously well built. Wouldn't still be running if the owners didn't appreciated the value, craftsmanship and keep these well maintained. thks
That's amazing, farmers should be celebrated for a month.
Love the sound of Detroit’s, been around a lot of them in the fishing/marine industries.
Great video! Amazing how simplistic our equipment used to be! Thanks much for sharing
Love seeing the old iron actually in the field tearing it up.
you really start to see how big this thing actually is when you see the john deere next to it.. holy cow
Unbelievable scenery... you'd feel like you were on top of the world!
Our chisel plow behind the John Deere D was twelve feet wide.
On another subject once field repair welded a gravel crusher cylinder jaw with over 400 lbs of 7018 weld rod.
A very large truck transported crusher. When jaw broke the entire machine hoping around like a rabbit from rotary jaw assembly imbalances.
Successful repair saved contractor immensely in production schedules.
That is a bunch of weld rod. Thank you for sharing.
@@bigtractorpower
Certainly my friend love the videos.
Yes started welding in 1973. Originally most all stick but nowadays it’s virtually all wire. Metal core wire is very effective. My word I never kept track of filler rods and wire but I can guarantee it’s a lot.
Great video! Thanks for making it! The biggest tractor on our farm is a 930 Case that we haven't heard run yet. We just saved it from scrap last weekend.
Great tractor!
That’s an impressive sight, It does look it needs some renovation in the cab though. Awesome video.
Should let the Welkers at it
Sight yes, but i dont like the two stroke sound that much. Makes it sound like a soving machine. It should have the sound of growling deeb v8, to make it sound as powerfull and badass as it is.
@@RoisinT2 it does have a V8... 2 of them bolted together, actually. The sound in any video wont do the symphony of that old Jimmy any justice. They actually sound REALLY good. Had the pleasure of driving a Buzzin Dozen Detroit and it was heaven on the ears.
@@32degreesretarded62 Your reply makes no sense to my comment, but other that that i know many like that two stroke sound - i am not just one of them.
@@RoisinT2 you had said it needs a V8. The engine is a 16V92 made by Detroit Diesel. They only made castings up to a V8. Detroit needed ways to make more power for industrial applications and cast all of their engines to bolt together into each other. The "Buzzin Dozen" I used to drive was 2-6V71's bolted together to make a 12 cyl engine. This tractor is 2-8V92's bolted together. 8=8 cyl, V=v shaped block, 92= number of cubic inches per cyl.
Super massive tractor
Amazing video great machine
Stay safe
Have a nice day bigtractorpower
It is a monster tractor.
bigtractorpower cool
My 2.5 year old loves this video! We looked up the Big Bud after seeing it in a children's book!
I am glad he enjoys seeing the 747 at work. It is a neat machine.
That's more hp than a Cat D11 and they're not push-over, amazing.
This tractor has more lives than a cat! Great to see it back at work! 43 years on the job! Almost as long as me!
A engesa brasileira tinha tratores iguais a esse por falta de apoio dos governos fechou agora ficam comprando tratores da John deer
O Brasil não precisava passar por isso temos tudo mas infelizmente conspiração e muito contra o que produzimos mas vamos conseguir acabar com isso
The new tires make that tractor even nicer.
What I remember about getting in one of these back in the '70s is that the steering wheel and column with ignition was the same as my '73 Vega. 7:25.
Hey! I was going to say that! Only mine's a '75.
Get the Girls involved, when I seen them in the equipment there's one big difference!!!!! They keep the cab CLEAN, I know lol.
Cool ist der big bug. Lena Hadrian
This is your finest video yet. Content, cinematography are fantastic!
Even at an acre a minute, it still takes 50-hours to do that one field...that's a BIG field!
Williams brothers probably do/used to work 10-12 hrs a day, but 50 hours for just one field, that’s exactly why they need these huge tractors, the Detroit won’t complain, it can run 24/7
I work 13 hours ah day plowing
Love that it shares the steering wheel with a Chevy monza
That’s a Early 90’s Chevy pickup steering wheel & column.
Incredible equipment and unique land feature of farming land on top of a mesa. Wow
Thank you for watching. It was a fun day in the field filming this one.
That 16V-92TT Detroit sounds wonderful!
I don't know much about farming and somehow I ended up here but this beast is awesome! Glad to see this beast is out there back at work. Very cool video. 👍
Thank you for watching. Sometimes it is like watching a canvas being painted as these big machines roll across a field.
That was built for my father’s friend Mike Rossi of Rossi Farms out of Old River, California. Very cool piece of machinery.

How many acres were they farming for something like that to be a viable purchase? My parents had a dairy/grain farm when I was born. Unfortunately low milk prices and rising interest rates cost us the farm. It was pigs and tobacco when I was old enough to work.
@@Parents_of_Twins Here’s a link to a pretty good article. At the time they running 10,000 acres of cotton amongst other crops.

We are hobby farmers in upstate ny, our 'big' tractor is a case 1070. Thanks for showing us horsepower!
My dad has a 970. Good tractors for their size. Very versatile
Thanks and god bless.
The 16V-149 Detroit Diesel was a massive engine and I'm glad I had a part in building it. It truly is a strong engine that will take whatever you want it to do.
Bob thank you for sharing. That is neat that you helped build it.
From horse drawn ploughs to this mammoth monster!
Horses opened up and farmed this land 100 years before this monster tractor was built. There is allot of great farming history.
Out of all your videos, I see this as the pinnacle. Thank you for this incredible video of the 747 in action!
This was a fun one to film. Thank you for watching.
@@bigtractorpower ih
Can't wait to see AOC's battery version of this tractor LOL!!
Battery life: 5 seconds
It's about 5 years away and will be driver-less (and much quieter).
@@christopherfairs9095 You wish!!
@@christopherfairs9095 No it won't.
Dave Crupel the reason I say that is we had a driverless orchard tractor in 1974 (Massey Fergusson). Although it was primitive by today's standards, driverless technology is advancing rapidly. Although this huge tractor is a bit of a big boy's toy, I'm sure someone in the US could make a battery version of it.
I love the sound of that Detroit Engine
What a monster! No such thing as having to have computer codes to work on this one. This ain't nothing like the 7-bottom chisle plow I pulled driving a Case 1030 for my dad in the early 70s. He finished out his farming life in the mid-80s with an articulated Case 4890. And we thought the 4890 was a hoss. He saved that tractor for himself mostly while I was on a JD 6030 (the first tractor I drove with a cab, a/c, and am/fm radio) pulling 10 foot off-set and 20 foot leveling harrows. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Tractors, combines and implements have come a long way since I left the farm in the early 80s. Took up flying and made a career out of aviation, which was way more fun.
I always thought that the Oliver and MM's 4WD tractors of the late 60's and early 70's were big! Bud those Big Bud's were really ahead of their time! WOW!!!
The beat thing is this farm has an A4T 1600 and 2655. Tractors grew up in a hurry from 1970 to 1979.
@@bigtractorpower Cool! I guess that farm bought the big power, as technology came along to produce it!
Wow, that scenery is absolutely spectacular!
It was a great filming day in the field.
The biggest tractor in the world still looks like a toy against Mother Nature what a great vid Jason!
When you think of torque, remember this is a 2 strike diesel. One turn of the crank, 16 power pulses. You have seen the blower (supercharger) on a dragster? BB has two just to move the exhaust out and two turbos to move the air in.
She got some big shoes on💪 and what about that sketchy field road😳 and that chisel plow is HUGE!!!! Cooler than dang it!!👍👍 awesome post guys
Thank you for watching. The 600 ft climb up the wall is the only way in and out of the field. Very cool farming area.
I can't wait to see this machine on Wednesday at the Farm Progress Show
It’s an awesome tractor.
I'm so glad Titan made new tires for it and allowed the tractor to leave the museum.
That is pretty AWESOME! Thanks for the work you do! Enjoy every single one!
Wish I could experience a big open field like that all by myself I’d think I’d run day and night like i truck lol killing acres instead of miles lol
Wow it be fun eh
I plant about 7000 acres of canola and wheat in Western Victoria, Australia. What we call paddocks are as big as 5000 acres and you spend literally 12 hours a day in those paddocks its lonely but in my opinion the most rewarding thing in the world.
The most amazing tractor ever constructed and right here in the USA. 🇺🇲🚜
I remember the Steigger tractor in the 70s but this beast is amazing. Dwarfs everything around it. Gotta love the Detroit diesel sound. Iconic and strong. Great and informative video !
Man I'd love to own land like that and have a house right it the middle ,to hear that beast just a rolling coal and eating fuel
Amazing video great machine
How are you today
Stay safe
Beautiful countryside
Super massive tractor

We have a John Deere 9420 , I enjoy operating that over our new magnum any day.
