This makes me proud to be an AMERICAN.
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😁
It is so great to have this tractor still alive on the fields in Montana and not in a museum!!!
Yes.
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 No-Till doesn't work for absolutely every type of soil bud.
@@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.
@@aaaaaa2206 yeah im not reading that wall of text with no sources
The tractor stays put and the earth rotates underneath.
Could be related to Chuck Norris
If Chuck Norris owned a tractor, it would be bigger than this one....
@@matthewlink2254 Yea you're probably right
It would likely have one of those 16 cylinder engines that locomotives use too! Just imagine! What a tractor!
@@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😃
God bless the farmer ..only they can do amazing things...time to remember...they feed you..yes you and me..
Really enjoyable. Thanks for not spoiling the engine noise with crappy music
YES!! Agree ,Wayne Johnson, thank u for no crappy music! The Big Bud does just fine speaking for himself
as a diesel technology student this video makes me very happy
Thank you for watching. The Detriot V16 is an impressive diesel.
@@bigtractorpower yes it is!
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.
Montana is big sky country. It is wide open. It is beautiful to see in person.
@@bigtractorpower use to work there,back in 1980. Awesome.
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.

The crazy thing is the Big Bud 440 tractor pulling the air drill is a monster in its own right. It looks like a toy next to the 747
I'd love to see both of them alongside Welker's Buds.
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.
So pleased they were able to get some new boots for this tractor and get it back to doing what it was made for.
It’s ready to roll 😁👍
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 my family's farm up there is also neibhors with them! Now I have a great excuse to visit them😁😁
@@familytraditiontransportat7951 Bob Welker said he went to Havre and saw this one when it was being built.
@@familytraditiontransportat7951 They should take it to the Welkers and put some hours on it, i suppose the transport costs would outweigh everything though :(
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.
Amazing machine! And great video Jason!
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.
Lol I d8 cat porn lol in Montana just DTf
Remember the tire mount
Good to see it ain't being lazy no more
That 440 Big Bud needs to go to Welker’s to get a restoration!!!

I'm sitting here amazed at the marvelous machines that are required to produce the plate of spaghetti that I'm eating.
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.
Amazing to see the 747 back in its natural habitat!
The holy grail of tractor videos. Thankyou BTP. I would run Big Bud with both doors open myself. That V16 is a musical instrument.
Musical to the point your permanently deaf.
Living in Ireland, I find the scenery as amazing as the machinery.
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.
Thanks, for commenting. We live in HELENA Valley, and this area is grand……….
You're always welcome in Oklahoma.
Big bud is my favorite
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.
Welker's actually have 3 Buds plus Brute. 435, 525, and 600. Their 600 rebuild is cool and the cab looks pristine now.
Brute is a worked over caseih sprayer.
Big thanks for showing Big Bud back in the field working on those lovely LSW’S and not stuck in a barn 👍
They break so often that's the only place they spend a lot of time is in the shed.
@@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.
@@camojoe83.... That, is complete BS. The Big Buds (all of them) have a very high reliability and availability rate and have the reputation for it.
Hdudud
So good to see that monster back to working in Montana.
Montana has some hardy, tough-ass hard working people!💪
Thank you guys for what you do!
Good to see randy and Robert still working the ole girl glad to see this history thanks mr Jason
Holy cow! The awesome drone footage should push this video past a million views. Great job capturing the scale of the machine and the land.

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.
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.
WOOHOO!!!! The 747 has returned home again and is back to work. AWESOME!
Yep. Another 29 hours and it will be ready for a complete rebuild. Again.
@@camojoe83 this tractor will last 100 years
Love that it has finally dirt on top. Tears in my eyes over a stupid piece of metal. Back where it belongs a-ma-zing to watch new favorite youtube vid

Unbelievable scenery... you'd feel like you were on top of the world!
I'm so glad Titan made new tires for it and allowed the tractor to leave the museum.
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.
I never thought I'd see the 747 out in action again.Thanks Jason!
Me either. This was a great opportunity.
I thought it was in a museum
@@ryanlawrence9587 It was, with the new tires the Williams Brothers brought it out of retirement.
Goto WELKER FARMS!!! They have like 5 of the big buds
@@jam2190 They own 3 Big Bud tractors
à great production with these new engines
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 !
Great video! Amazing how simplistic our equipment used to be! Thanks much for sharing
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!
That’s a pretty big tiller, it still looks big hooked to the 747! I wonder if friggstad made many of these in 60-70 feet?
I love a good two stroke Detroit. That tractor is a monster 🤩
*As someone passionate about farming, I appreciate the power and versatility of these agriculture machines. What's your favorite feature?*
"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 @
The size of that tractor is insane!!! Big Bud is the greatest tractor ever made!
Biggest no we’re near best
The new tires make that tractor even nicer.
I love big rigs and I'm a diesel freak. Sound of the diesel puts music to my ears
😁👍👍
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.
It’s really great that she’s back out there turning dirt!
8000 series👍
I can't wait to see this machine on Wednesday at the Farm Progress Show
It’s an awesome tractor.
Awesome to see both of those machines in the field together.
Love seeing the old iron actually in the field tearing it up.
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.....
Very, very BIG BUD MONSTER!!!))
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!!
That is pretty AWESOME! Thanks for the work you do! Enjoy every single one!
This is awesome, Jason. There has never been any decent video of this machine until now. You did a fantastic job.
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 TH-cam.
i dont think so
Favourite tractor, big, bud 747

That drone shot starting at 3:53 is complete gold. Beautiful composition and landscape!
What an outstanding chance to spend some time in such an awesome American Classic Tractor. True beast with some outstanding views from atop of that shelf. Good for you! Love the videos.
Man that detroit screams, love them old 2 stroke diesels.
This tractor is dad of all tractors
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
I'm jealous
Is that the yellow version of an Oliver 2655 ?
This is your finest video yet. Content, cinematography are fantastic!
Big Bud is the king of tractors
They truly are.
Un amour de tracteur comme il est beau !!
you really start to see how big this thing actually is when you see the john deere next to it.. holy cow
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.
As a city guy I find this amazing. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate all the hard work farmers do.
Thanks for watching and ur kind words. I’m working 12 hours ah day. One day of for god. CHURCH ⛪️. LONG LIVE BIG BUD
@@JMAC-rs6ey Amen, God bless you and your family. Oh, and Big Bud.
Thank you Jason...
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!

Honestly the sound of that thing would drive me nuts after a while.
when my boss asks me "what tractor do you want?" "the one with quietist cap."
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.
Hordboy what did you say?
If it's too loud, you're too old.
@@markwelschmeyer2426 * quietest cab
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.
That's amazing, farmers should be celebrated for a month.
Super massive tractor
Amazing video great machine
Stay safe
Have a nice day bigtractorpower
It is a monster tractor.
bigtractorpower cool
The biggest tractor we've ever had on our farm is a JD 4955 MFD. My absolute favorite big tractor is a JD 6030 with ROPS. A neighbor ran a 6030 with a cab for years. My opinion the ROPS looks a lot better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
This thing quite literally the 747 of all tractors
That 16V-92TT Detroit sounds wonderful!
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
I love the sound of that Detroit Engine
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.
Thing of beauty. BIG BUD.
Got to love those old Detroit diesel two strokes

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.
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
That's more hp than a Cat D11 and they're not push-over, amazing.
This is surreal. Coming from Germany, you can’t even dream of it. 3000 acres, wallah.
The biggest tractor in the world still looks like a toy against Mother Nature what a great vid Jason!
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
All that width yet it can still turn inside the plow. Impressive stuff.
Beautiful country , I lived in Great Falls for 2 years and loved it. Massive Tractor .
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!
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
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.
Could you imagine just driving Down the road and hearing that monster coming behind you
lm a farmer ..l havent seen such a tractor in my life before..wow this is so cool ..
Wow, that scenery is absolutely spectacular!
It was a great filming day in the field.
Love that it shares the steering wheel with a Chevy monza
That’s a Early 90’s Chevy pickup steering wheel & column.
Big Bud a man made object that can be seen from space.
Im 22 & don’t know shit about farming but damn how I’d love to drive one of those beautiful beasts 🚜
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 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.

Love the sound of Detroit’s, been around a lot of them in the fishing/marine industries.
I grew up plowing with a 63 404 high clearance. Looks like my little toy pedal tractor I rode as a three year old compared to that monster.
Love the video Great job keeping that puppy digging in the dirt.
Now that's impressive!
