Very nice, looks great with the new tires, amazing how long the old ones lasted, they needs to be put in a museum as well

Jason thank you so much for letting us actually hear the Big Bud in action - some other channels have put music over it :-( As we live in England, we'll never get the chance to see this amazing tractor - and for you to film it and let us hear it, was really special. Thank you :-)

[mtrahan]

[markisb]

Love the sound of those old detroits. Especially the detroits in the old Oliver 990s

That thing just pulls out and says this is my road good luck everyone else. I wander what kind of ground pressure it has with those 8 floaters

[andreabond]

Great video. Saw the welker farm video on the tires being installed. There was a link to order a 1/64 scale model of this tractor with the new tires on it signed by the owners. I ordered one to be sent this fall.

Well that is so awesome hearing all that horsepower

[bobnistler]

Nice job. ChumpyCadet144 and i went to see the tractor and tour the museum about a week after the tires were mounted. Made for a great day trip.

[vernt]

Great video and what a great way to cover some real I wonder what kind of critical parts are available??

[mechwarrior]

For something that big and wide, the turning radius is respectable

[dennyr]

Gotta love the distinct sound of a Detroit Diesel. Let 'er scream!!!

[ileenmcminn]

i thought they had picked up a rock between the duels, but it was a smart car!

[wowjchehwksm]

So it potentially could be even more powerful. Just wild to believe

[aaronsesula]

I would love to have that tractor in my back yard

[julianearl]

It's big all right. Have you ever done anything on David Brown an English make. They do not fall into the Big Tractor category but when Case bought them out in '84(?) they were just starting to make bigger units. The shape of the Case 4890 discussed below, and many other Case models of that era derived their shape from David Brown. Its an interesting story

There is confusion about the peak horsepower. And the statement that it has the ability to have 1900 horsepower under load. New tractors have a power reserve of about fifty extra horsepower but nowhere near this much extra. The confusion is probably that it is rated at 1900 RPMs not 1900 Peak horsepower
