Big 4wd TRACTORS New in 1982

[@LSWSSoftware]

I remember seeing a Case 4690 here in the UK when i was 10 - 1982 - It blew my mind! Every time i see 4690/4890 it reminds of that day!! Still love seeing them...

[@billbrasky8970]

I bet it would’ve been a sight to see in the UK. We had a 4890 when I was a kid. Spent a lot of hours with my Dad on that tiny back seat they had lol. Great machine.

[@bigtractorpower]

Neat. I have a David Brown 4690/4890 sales brochure from the UK.

[@LSWSSoftware]

@@bigtractorpower I used to have that very brochure! I'd go to the local ag show and spend all day looking at tractors and asking for brochures... then try and build them with technic lego. Still love tractors and still love technic lego.. 40 yrs later nothings changed!!🤣

[@malcolmmeer9761]

I have one. Still use it for tillage. Love this tractor

[@winkletown8828]

That A C and International long nose take me back and make me smile, my grandpa had one of those big Case tractors and boy oh boy, old iron is just built better. Thanks for bringing me back to a better time with this video. ❤️ Steiger will forever have a place in my heart, the hometown tractor that commanded respect at every machinery show and field. Big green Steiger ..... Live on forever you glorious beasts!!!!

[@fordsfarms1297]

Great find on some great tractors. I always learn something watching your videos. First rome I ever seen.

[@paulpochan9631]

Love the dual stacks on AC, the engine sound on Case, the look of 2+2 and Versatile....

You just gotta LOVE them older 4WD's. Ultimately cool and pure power!!! Very cool video Jason. GO BTP 💪

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@johnthompson4162]

The 4890 Case would be my choice in 1982 for its original design. We were running one in 1981, great tractor. The Steiger is a good tractor in 1982 too. John T.

Loving the shot of the 6788 with the cyclo bean planter! That’s one sweet planting setup!

[@garfield89dude32]

Hi Jason! Another quality video from BTP! I love that AC 4W-305 still has its original engine. Those 6120T engines were very rare (only used in the 8550 and 4W-305) and there are virtually no replacement parts available today. If someone has a major engine blowout on these tractors its either scrap the whole rig or repower with a Cummins or Cat engine. I've never heard of the Rite tractor, is it a one-off or was an actual production unit? Thanks for the great video, keep them coming!

[@404nitro]

Man, there is some seriously classic old tractors here. Loved the FW-60 and of course, the AC-305. Your old 8850 sure looks great still.

[@SimonKL11]

[@heatmoon]

The 4w305 was such a huge improvement from the 8550, something I grew up on. If not only for it's cab design, in fact that was the biggest change. Same 12.1 liter twin turbo 6. Love them, and they are pretty rare. Allis had just got it right with these 4wds and the 8000 series tractors, right when a drought and terrible prices destroyed most small farms

[@bigtractorpower]

The AC twin stack 4wds are stand outs. It is unfortunate that AC never got the chance to show what the 4W and 8000 tractors could do.

[@danieldzurko8053]

Thank you for compiling all of this information. I'd say the JD and Ac were my faves.

[@bigtractorpower]

Both the 4W305 and 8850 are great 80’s 4wd power.

[@danieldzurko8053]

@@bigtractorpower Indeed so!

[@robertmidence6254]

Great video BTP! Loved watching this with my young son. Grew up on a produce farm in the 1970's. We actually owned 2 of these tractors, one of the big Masseys and the White, but with the non turbo charged version 3208 Cat engine. The 150hp White was the absolute dream plowing machine pulling 6 18" bottoms while running the wheels in the furrow and just ripping at 5 to 6 mph. What a joy! The move up to plow with the Massey and 12 bottoms, so while faster, made operation miserable. Take the wheel out of the furrow and add another 20 yards to turn around at each end what used to be fun turns into a real chore. Too many shorter fields and a tractor that size has no business being on your farm!

[@terrymcsparrin3682]

Hello Jason. I was thinking only Welker Farms from central Montana got BigBuds. This proved i was wrong. Thanks a lot for the video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Turkey

[@bigtractorpower]

There were 500 Big Bud tractors built between 1969 and 1991. They are not the most common 4wd but there are a bunch out there.

The Steiger KP 1360 Panther 1000 if I was a big farmer back then but I was only one year old when that tractor came out

[@roycereynolds1514]

[@SamMaass-s5h]

We had a MF4900. It ate my cousin's 8850 JD for lunch and wanted more for desert.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 4900 is a nice tractor. Big cab and V8 power. I have a video on the 4900 posted at kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGjCo5KtmrqXg5Ysi=WXfq80ad3Hhx-1NH

Good day mate Still got a Steiger still the main horse new boot last year have the keep her another 40 years

Steigers are solid tractors. My favorite brand. 👍👍

[@stephenbontrager5894]

Love watching your videos if I was farming in the early 80s the ih 2+2 would be the best for me although the case machine sounds amazing under a load.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 6788 was good for tillage, planting and row crop work. The WFE 4-210’would also fit in well for that work. Both the 6788 and the 4-210 were the biggest offerings for their brands in 1982.

[@Chisszaru]

The biggest 4wd tractor I've seen in person wasn't from the 80's per say, as I've only seen a John Deere 9R series 4wd tractor, so not really from the 80's, but still. I do want to see a 4wd tractor from that decade though, as it would be neat. We don't have many 4wd tractors here in Sweden, snd the ones we have is mostly imported through a third hand party. The only two brands that sell their 4wd tractors are currently John Deere and Case IH. There is also New Holland, but they only have one dealership in southern Sweden that even sell their 4wd tractors, and i happen to live not that far away from that NH dealership

[@bigtractorpower]

Are the 9Rs and Steigers being sold in Sweden on tires or tracks? Or both?

[@Chisszaru]

@@bigtractorpower both. Have only seen with tracks myself, but both options are sold here

[@2010ChargerRT]

The John Deere definitely looked pretty modern compared to the rest of the bunch.

[@bigtractorpower]

It was a bit ahead of the pack.

[@stevenpayne3707]

Clods are so huge and compacted that the 4-210 pulling the disc was doing nothing but rolling over the top of them and leaving them intact.

[@TrapperCalvin]

Those clods were ridiculous!

[@nellsonstout7001]

Rantoul 101 right there

[@MikeCipperley]

Those were the good ol days of tractors absolutely NO electronics all mechanical and the big bud had a V16 Detroit rated at 1200 hp bad ass

[@WorldTractorsVideos]

Amazing

[@piperdoug428]

@17:04 gotta check the other shoulder for a big jam up on the front row, lol.

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes they picked up a cold of dirt between the blades. They made one more pass for me so I could be both sides of the tractor. A sledge hammer would not knock the clod loose.

HP to dollar ratio but also my favorite would be the John Deere 8850.

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s interesting the how prices vary. The 525 Hp Big Bud is $10K more than the 750 Hp Rite. The 8850 is a cool tractor. The one featured on the video is mine. I enjoy getting it out to disk.

[@billbooth4147]

Very nice

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@EDBZ28]

Nice video...well put together. I’m a deere man through and through, but Steiger had em all beat with reliability & value of $ for hp. I’ve never heard much good about any V8 powered tractor...w/the 903 Cummins at the top of the list for being junk.

[@winkletown8828]

Steiger was my hometown tractor years ago. Everyone had them and man, they've only gotten cooler with time.

[@nellsonstout7001]

903s were pretty good actually. The 470,504, and 555 were the really bad ones

[@bobsmith1814]

I never seen a Rome. It is one big tractor. My favorite is IH 6788.

[@nellsonstout7001]

I’ve seen one in person. They’re tall but kind of lightweight for their horsepower

[@theopautsch2311]

You have a mistake in the description it says white 225 but I believe it's a 210 in the video?

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you. I corrected it. This video initially had a 4-225 but they 4-225 was released in 1983 and the 4-210 was last offered in 1982.

Fun fact: the Rome 475c and versatile 1150, with no added ballast, weigh roughly the same amount as the KP-1360 Steiger does without ballast😂

All very similar tractors in horse power. I would really like to film a Steiger KP and CP-1400 with a KTA-1150 engine.

I know that Chris has a 535 Steiger now but I still don’t see why the 525/50 is retired

[@bigtractorpower]

The 535 has more modern conveniences compared to the Big Bud and is more fuel efficient.

[@SlipShodBob]

Was too trusting when I was younger where my brother was concerned I used to believe him when I was five that the Versatiles and Big Buds were no bigger power wise than our Ford 4600 just that they liked to make them big in the USA to look more impressive. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@bigtractorpower]

When I was a kid I did not think about horse power. Big wheels meant bigger implements to me. I never thought about a Steiger doing more of a job than the WFE. I just thought they are all 4wds with big wheels. The Ford 4600 is a good solid tractor.

[@SlipShodBob]

@@bigtractorpower it is still used though it is used more like most would use a gator it is coming up to its time to shine as it carries the sheep and lambs out though even with the Q cab it still only reaches the back wheel of our neighbour's 8R series tractor but unlike their one it only takes 20 litres to fill it up.

[@andyhutch8262]

Seem to think you have posted all these before!

[@bigtractorpower]

Many of these tractors have their own 10 minute stand alone spec videos. I thought it would be fun to show how these 12 stacked up in the same model year. I have hours and hours of footage so I try to show some insider footage in these full guide videos. The 8850 footage is new as it was filmed for a V8 power show down video not yet produced and the 4-210 has not been shown yet.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

[@bigtractorpower]

The Rome is one solid tractor with lots of traction and pull.

See to me, that’s a point against it. I wanna have a lot of built in weight to put the power to the ground.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

@@nellsonstout7001 that makes sense, here in western NC 100 hp is all you need if that much

as far a history goes the big bud would have been the best deal since equipment got alot bigger

[@neptunefarms1994]

International didn't really have a tractor big enough to compete with the others that year.

[@bigtractorpower]

You are correct. IH was not in the hp race. In 1981 the top IH the the 350 hp 4786. For 1982 the 325 hp 7788 was slated to replace the 4786. Unfortunately IH sold its 20% of Steiger and the articulated 4wds were out leaving the 2+2s
