The people who operate this business buy usually only very large tractors, rebuild and sell them. They have Big Bud, Rite, Wagner, some of the largest Steigers and Versatile. I have never seen them advertise anything much under 350hp.

Big Equipment company is the company that built the Big Buds. I believe all they do now is rebuild and upgrade the tractors now though.

Somehow that huge machine just has too small of tires. Guess I won't buy it as it doesn't have a 3 point to hook my 5' brush hog to.

I haven't seen a mower deck that would mount underneath it and I don't have enough acres to turn it around, so I'll pass.

The company selling that tractor is in Havre Montana, which is where Big equipment company is located. That tractor is probably sitting on the land it was orginally built on.

It looks awesome but I really like the looks of the old Steigers best. Like the Steiger Tiger III right behind the Big Bud. Now I gotta go look for a good pic.

At 450 HP and 42,800 lbs. the Steiger ain't even close to this Big Bud.

So wouldn't this now be the world's largest tractor in terms of hp, since the 747 was ONLY 900 hp?

The Willaims Brothers (present owners of 747) said they have had 747 turned up to 1000 hp. So this would still be smaller. I guess all you would have to do is turn this one up to though ?
