all I can see is a bunch of fat lazy yanks and their golf carts..
that 747 can take another 15 and still pull without an issue...thats a strong machine.
John Deere struggling a bit as always
The Steiger tiger IV is a pretty sweet beast too
The power a Detroit engine can build is just amazing. Even the modern new 4 cycle Detroits can make incredible power even wiith all the new smog related garbage on them.
detroit would be the only engine i would ever consider for a heavy working machine.
hmm own 3 big buds one farm = mass farming = $$$$$
AMRICANS JUST LOVE BURNING FUEL DONT THEY?
I love them old noisy ass Detroit's, too bad they don't make them anymore.
what up fellers who would like to see my new 1977 chevy 1500 XD rednecks the west side has none of them.
a farmall M will pull a 3 bottom plow the john Deere only pulling a 8 would many new M's could you buy for that one deere and keep fuel in and get the same job done
I bet you Big Bud is quieter in the cab than a 6030. Especially my 6030 my Grandfather bought new in 1976. (The year they made 400) My 6030 is loud as shit.
Neat video. Cool to see the old 4wds out plowing.

The place is over run w/Gators and Polaris Ranger's!
I'm not surprised that big bud is screaming like that seeing as it runs a Detroit engine
There is so much going on in this video besides the tractors plowing. For instance, at the beginning of the video, people are trying to get so close to the tractor, they actually have to have two lead vehicles with lights flashing and horns blowing to get the audience to back up. If they are that stupid, just run them over! 2nd thing I noticed is every fat lazy ass feels the need to buzz around in a golf cart, John Deere gator or some sort of people mover to avoid walking. We were at a farm show once, where this fat ass took his golf cart through the food line that was under a tent. We all stood in line behind this fatty while he sat in his comfy seat and got his food all whilst driving his cart!
fuel consumption on the big bud......16v 71 under load all day....shit I would hate too pay for that!
Only 3 stupid people got ran over that year?
'Muraca
OK- LIKE
Cool video! Thanks for taking the time to record this for all to enjoy! BTW, if I had to choose between the 3 of those machines to run all day, the Steiger wins. I can't see going completely deaf in a single day running that Big Bud around. Now, as impressive as that machine may be, due to its physical size and such, I'm pretty certain that the fuel it burns doesn't offset the work that it accomplishes per hour. As for that 8020 Deere, it's still a neat machine, but certainly not practical at all in today's world - in any aspect... noise (2-stroke), fuel consumption (2-stroke pig), comfort (no cab), safety (no ROPS)... all poor.
