There’s no better sight and sound than a gargantuan tractor pulling an enormous cultivator or plough in the Big Country…wonderful footage and great editing, the drone shots are spectacular and give a true sense of the scale of the task and enormity of the landscape.

Thank you for the comments and for watching! This tractor is one of my favorites so far just pure muscle!

If only Deere would've had the engineer that Kinze had for this repower, they would've had a lot nicer-looking 60 & 70 series. To me, those series never fit in the JD line-up in that era, but this one DOES. Excellent job Kinze...the hood, grill and front light bezel looks like it's supposed to for that era of Deere.

The guy that built these for Jon was my dad he had the reporter shop and he didn’t go to high school much less being an engineer

@@MichiganFarmPhotos fantastic drone footage and no annoying music, just the engine itself, which is what we all want to hear anyway ! What engine does it use - a Cummins by any chance ?

@MichiganFarmPhotos 6 ай бұрын

Thank you, Yes this tractor has a Cummins KTA-1150 in it!

@@MichiganFarmPhotos Hi and thank you for your reply. Had a feeling it might be a Cummins rather than a Deere engine - it runs without issues, lol ! Bigger capacity engine than I had considered, but a very popular unit, used in several other makes too, the Steiger Series III Tiger 470, for one and I think Versatile used it in one of their former high end models, before getting bought out by Ford in the mid to late 80s - '86 or '87 - can't remember exactly.

You would be correct the Versatile 1150 and Ford 1156 used the KTA-1150 as well!

Has the drive train also been adapted to the higher demands? The triples look very good. The Low Sidewall (LSW) 1400/30R46 tires could also be an alternative to protect the ground. Thanks for sharing.

@MichiganFarmPhotos 8 ай бұрын

Stock drive train, the owner knows those tractors very well and doesn't abuse it and it has held together very well so far. LSW's are cool and great for compaction but triples just look so mean!

When upping the power,, its wise to increase speed with similar load so that the torque load isn't that much higher. RPM is easier on drive train than lb. ft. of torque.
