Amazing out that part of the country. Endless land and a tractor every bit as huge for it! What do they do for maintenance since Big Bud closed down? If there were only two made I can’t imagine the fabrication it takes to keep that thing going. What’s not quite metric and not quite SAE right!?
Wow, what a difference a cab makes!! When you were in cab visiting I had no idea how loud the tractor was. But when you were outside the cab--holy cow! That was loud! Great vid Jason!
I haven’t seen a Big Bud tractor work except for the 747, very impressive, shame they don’t build them anymore. Thanks for the trip to Montana, it’s definitely big sky country.
I can not imagine fields that huge. We creek bottom farms in the coves and valleys of South central PA and North Central Maryland still use tiny 8 foot up to 12 foot wide john deere wheel driven grain drills or no till models.
I am a kindred spirit Mike, I farm 226 acres in Butler county north of Pittsburgh. I watch more TH-cam anymore than I do TV what little leader I have time to do LOL around 70 head of beef and keeping feed ground for them and crops race for them and feed ground for a bunch of neighbors doesn't leave a whole lot of time but it amazes me the way these guys farm not through the West the big acreage in large machinery just different than what we're used to hear in the east, but it takes all of us all 2% of us to feed the other 98%. Stay safe over there
Hey Guy. I know exactly where you are. I am in Fulton cty very near Washington cty Maryland line. I have a very good local friend who was born n raised in Butler. He goes back every fall for rifle season. I agree. We did away with dish network. We only watch TH-cam anymore. TV is garbage anyhow mostly. Good luck and hope all stays well. My dad is 71 and just came down with covid pnuemonia he had it almost beat and it turned bad. He is now on a ventilator in York pa but they see improvement very little each day. He is strong and tough so he won't give up.
@@michaeldouglas1243 well thanks for returning the text there Michael. I will keep your dad in my prayers. We open our farm to hunters here and then we also are in the red tag program with the PA game commission to try and harvest a few extras through the year it's been a good thing for us it's worked out well it's cut down our deer damage in the population is here as much healthier our bucks are usually pretty nice I wouldn't say they're all trophies but there's some pretty nice bucks around here I'm wondering if the guy that you're talking about might be a fellow that hunts on my place here for there's a guy comes up here from Maryland every year hunts with his 90 some year old dad who grew up with my mom and a couple my aunts and uncles they come in here with the Honda four wheeler and Hunt every year rifle he never misses I see him every every fall if it's the same guy wouldn't that be a coincidence! Well it's good talking to you have you ever get to Butler county hit me up over TH-cam here and we'll we'll get you some directions if you want to stop by and look over our place I've been kind of nice to sort of someone to meet okay and I'll talk to you later
His name is Todd Buterbaugh. I showed him ur TH-cam and name he said small world but it is not him. His parents and rest of family all still live back there n he hunts family land. We own 265 acres. Our deer population is way down from where it use to be here on farm but when he coyote every single night lying in bed and we have shot bears last few years there is no wonder. Licking creek spilts the farm and we now have otters, fishers and alot of bobcats none of which were here 10 years ago. Makes a fella wonder how it is all getting here. We get as much bear and beaver damage to our corn now than deer for real. Take care.
Yeah we're about seven miles from the middle of downtown Butler they always said 7 miles from the courthouse around here. We are in the same township as a Butler county farm show grounds we're about to two miles south and east of it off around 68 everybody's familiar with the county you'll know where we're at I'll take care of have a safe harvest have a bountiful harvest
500 acres a day is just nuts to try to wrap your head around. As much as I’d love to have a field that size I think I’d get bored with nothing but flat wheat stubble to look at for miles around. Lol. They really outdid themselves with the paint and pinstriping on the series 4 tractors. They look really sharp with the black on white.
Big Bud tractors are just so massive that to me, they always look like the tires/wheels are too small/short on them. They are so cool to see and it'd be great to see the 440 on triples in a video some time.
The last I knew of the other 440 it was in Ohio. A farm in Ohio had the 440 on triples and the Rite 750. We know where the Rite 750 is. I will have to see if I can locate the 440.
When we sold the grain portion of our farming operation we were running a 51ft Morris Contour 2 with the 8450 tank, really liked the tool part but not the tank, our tool bar had twin placement double shoot so it left the field very corrugated
Well actually this 440 has been re powered with a Detriot 14.liter series 60, DDEC4. The original Komatsu engine in it was sold to a construction company two years ago to put in a Kumatsu excavator with a blown engine.
Not a comment but a question: why are some implements pulled perpendicular to the tractor, as in this video, and others of comparable size or bigger or smaller are pulled at very deep angles relative to the tractor?
I think you're talking about a moldboard plow, which are used very rarely these days. They're set up on an angle so that they pull easier, the first blade is the only one cutting into unplowed ground so it takes less HP than every blade tearing into new ground at once. Implements like this drill that are just placing seed and don't dig up much dirt, don't take much HP so it's better to have them all planting even.
Good question. It is about the draft of the implement and what it is trying to accomplish. Most implements are like this drill because they are running lightly on the surface. A plow runs at angle for draft because it is moving allot of soil. Their are also V rippers that dig deep at too angles.
From what I've seen, those air drills seem like finicky machines...hoses popping, irregular pressure, etc...or maybe farmers just like to post it alot...lol

Montana farming country is beautiful. Is this the same guys you hang out with every year? The farming community is super friendly.
This is the Williams brothers who own the big bud 747
That’s easily one of the rarest tractors you’ve filmed.
All big bud tractors are impressive😉👍 that drill is huge too👍😁
We seeded 1200 acres of WW in south Saskatchewan Canada. With a 2013 Versatile 575 pulling at a 80 foot 980bu 1000gallon Vaderstad air drill
Very nice set up.

Hi. Thank you for watching.
Is Big Bud still making tractors?
No. They built just over 500 tractors from 1969 to 1991.
No but they do refurbishments on the ones that they built
