800 hp Big Bud Motor Swap

[@UltraMagaFan]

I love the fact that Big Equipment built their Big Bud tractors to be easily modified. It allows farmers to do things like this and extend the life of the tractor by decades.

Great Job! It was good you got your dad involved in the camera shots, it will keep him young. May you have rain, no hail no bugs and teach your mother how to run it. Have a great season. elmore

You guys live over in welkers part of the country? Montana!

[@kevenhiemie]

Please make and show us some us video s of this bad dog doing work!

[@nellsonstout7001]

I second that.

[@nellsonstout7001]

You messed up. To fix it, you must continue to make videos of this tractor

[@seanbronec3495]

6:28 is where the motor is first start is and after is it working

[@mitchellnoll7402]

Thank you for the great video, just ran across it. I was wondering if it was cost-effective as far as fuel per hour or fuel cost per acre versus what is inside the 625/50 big bud. I know it is more horsepower and probably by far more torque I believe the Walker's tractor is turned up a little bit to about 700 horse if I remember right I was just wondering how much it cost to feed that monster

[@seanbronec3495]

Just because it made 800 on the engine dump doesn’t mean you have to use all 800 all the time most of the time when pulling a 76’ borgault air seeder we have it idled back at around 1800 rpm but it is indeed thirsty there’s no doubt about it I’m not sure how much more it would burn over an 1150 Cummins that’s an 18.8 liter motor and this is a 27liter

[@dennissorensen9320]

You would think they would have huge venting fans for the shops...

[@seanbronec3495]

Haha that would be great to have

[@jiggyquinn5635]

I'm seeing this a year after the making, any operating videos?

[@slipperyskittle5889]

Did you use the stock transmission, and how many mods did it need to have adequate hydraulics?

[@seanbronec3495]

We did use the stock transmission they are built for 1000 hp. We upgraded the torque converter to hold the power. The hydraulic system was an open center system and we swapped it to 2 closed center pumps. Now we have a 76' seeder to pull with it.

[@mikkei3532]

good work

[@devinbaber4594]

Wow the no footage of pulling the motor killed the whole video

[@caterpillarslim1288]

That's cool!

[@markrskinner]

Good job. But the portrait mode guy should be fired 😄

[@gtxguy]

Very Nice...

[@dschefers9700]

Which motor did you put in ? Cat V 12

[@ding9633]

In the description

[@hughperkins707]

Cat 3412

[@mynameisray]

Who drops a garbage cat motor in a Big Bud

[@rearspeaker6364]

could be much worse--a Iveco.

[@johnallan863]

A guy who wants to get some work done 👍

[@mynameisray]

@John Allan - I can't imagine anyone wants to constantly get work done on their subpar engine. Seems more sensible to get a proper good engine so you're not spending all your time in the shop.

[@Blake-yb7pl]

Some big bids were built with cat engines

[@SamMaass-s5h]

​@@mynameisraythe 3400 series Cats are very reliable engines.

[@manyamile410]

Music ruined the video.
