[@gonerydin4225]

Even though I worked at John Deere Waterloo for 35 years, my favorite in this video is the Big Bud. I'm lucky to have been able to see it up close when it was on display here in Independence, Iowa.

[@mikeschneider9780]

My uncle also worked there for many years. Big bud came to our county fair in Mn so I was able to see it as well. A very impressive machine.

[@homemadetractors]

Great informative video. I have always been fascinated with four wheel drive tractors and being a North Dakota native I have always had a fondness for Jackson tractors. I do have a couple of comments on the subject that I would like to add. There were actually 19 Jackson tractors built though it is unknown how many of each of the three models were produced as there are no company build records left. The other thing that I would like to add is the fact that Erval Jackson did not die in 1972. He actually died of cancer in January of 1987, fifteen years after he stopped building tractors. The reason that he ended the tractor production was due to the simple fact that there was far too much competition from other manufacturers and he could not compete profitably. After he stopped building tractors he manufactured self-propelled swathers and swather transports for a time and at the time of his death he actually had just built a factory for producing small aircraft. I have actually had the pleasure of visiting his widow and it is where I got all of my information.

[@joestough664]

Our neighbor has two tiger III. One has been sitting on the rims for 10 years now but the other is used every year for spring field work. It's pretty cool to watch it work among all the modern tractors while easily "pulling it's weight".

[@robertpayne2717]

Had a friend who had 4 steigers. He bought my grandparents estate ground in 1980 560 acres more or less he put down at least 4 and maybe 5 16inch irrigation wells. And used the Steigers to pull 16 to 18 foot wide Kilifers to mud level the farm for rice and bean production in the winter of '80 '81...that was a sight to see....

[@Pete-px6wf]

Big Bud, without a doubt, is my favorite tractor.The enormous size and power is without question the most powerful tractor ever constructed. The tires alone are extremely expensive and new. John Deere's and Case IH tractors are large, but fall short by comparison too the Big Bud 747. Really the video doesn't do this tractor any justice. In person, a person is awed by its shear size and the implements it pulls are equal to this tractor. Montana is a huge state. Many fields are just too big for smaller tractors. Thus, a much larger tractor is employed for work. Note; Even the scaled model 1/16 is huge. I enjoyed the video allot. Thank you. Pete

The Wagner tractors that were branded JD were just Deere skirting a lawsuit that centred around the Dropbox being copied, Deere just agreed to have Wagner make tractors as it was cheaper to buy them out than go to court. I had 3 of the WA 14 tractors in green, they were stickered as WA14 but they were 17 axles and had the 290 up Cummins engines. Great machines that were virtually indestructible and easily rebuilt. Rite tractors in Great Falls Montana aquired the patent on the drop box when it lapsed after JD dropped Wagner.

@@joescheller6680 they certainly copied MFs combine layout when they introduced their large combine range. Offset cab, engine to right of cab, grain tank behind both items. I think the range was the 'Titan' combine range ? To be fair though, there are only comparatively few ways to configure a combine - it's not like MF patented their layout - more than likely not a dosble thing in any case. These days, pretty much every combine manufacturer follows the same layout - mid mounted cab, grain tank mounted high up and behind cab, with engine installation behind that.

5:30 A 7 liter Detroit would be 426 cid / or just called a 6-71

[@ChevyConQueso]

Was just gonna mention this. For those who don't know, a Detroit 6-71 is called such because it is 6 cylinders, inline configuration, 71 cubic inches displacement per cylinder. The naming convention stays the same but adds a V for V design engines, i.e. 12V-71 being a V12, with 71 cubic inches per cylinder. A 4-53T is a 4 cylinder inline, 53 cubes per cylinder, turbocharged. They came from 1-24 cylinders and are notable because they are 2 stroke diesels, vs. the normal 4 stroke.

I really enjoy you're videos ,I can appreciate the time it took to make them,thank you

[@chrishunt5727]

The Big Bud 747 will always be the ultimate beast of a tractor that can never be matched again!

[@bigtractorpower]

It is a true monster.

Congratulations on your 2000th video Jason, this is a great video very informative, like those 800x65rx32 tires on some of those tractors, the Ford and the Tiger st450 is my favorites

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you. The KTA powered 4wds have a cool factor for sure.

[@Rincon009]

AWESOME video! Thanks!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

In the 1970s a family in mid-Michigan had a MRS (Mississippi Road Service) 4wd tractor. Originally had a six cylinder Detroit, repowered with an 8v71 and a 10 spd. Road Ranger trans. But it was not articulated, both axles steered independently. Only MRS I’d ever seen in person. Great video, thanks so much.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I have a friend that purchased an MRS this past summer. I hope to catch it running sometime. MRS almost built Internationals 4wds before IH went with Steiger.

I really enjoyed this video thank you for the time you put into building this presentation

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. It’s always fun to film these.

[@vikingtractor6065]

Always solid videos. The footage and narration are very enjoyable.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

You've got the finest bumper music going into and going out of these videos. Love it. My favorite tractor is the one I'm viewing at the time.

[@bigtractorpower]

Engines make the beat melody. Especially Detriots.

[@Doug-In-TN]

Congrats Jason on 2K. I have not seen them all, saw maybe 1099! Keep up the good work

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching there are so many it’s hard to keep up with them all. I can guarantee that I’ve seen everyone because I film them and produce them. I have a bunch of machines that are film that still haven’t made it to video yet.

I never realized that the engine in the big bud 747 was a 2 stoke disel 16V 92T untill i saw this and i just learned about the 2 stoke disels engine like 2 days ago. Man you learn stuff every day.

[@July.4.1776]

Yes, and all those old two stroke had a supercharger installed that was mandatory for a two stroke General Motors Detroit Diesel to run.

[@zimmhollowfarm8414]

@@July.4.1776 I don't think they need superchargers just turbochargers are a blower to run.

I found another 8850 John Deere for sale. It has a new rebuilt motor and looks great. We plan to totally restore it. One of the best looking tractors ever, and very powerful.

[@dickhumble4610]

Really enjoyed this video. Had not seen some of them. Of course the best is the Big Bud. What a neat tractor, still working today!!

As a kid my dad owned an 1156 with triples. It was purchased brand new. Makes me smile to see it here

I really love the spirit of ‘76 a lot. I love the Uncle Sam hat-like American flag 🇺🇸 detail and it really stands out to me with beauty. Very pretty paint job!
