Was the M&M AT4 1600 in red trim? In 76, 77 at NMC in Havre Montana. The diesel shop overhauled a red/white tractor that had basically a MM G1000 motor with only 4 main bearing. The motor had a broken crank. Took a long time to find a crank. I think it came out of Canada. This is when Big Bud built the 747. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

Your Steiger Tiger I picture came off my website. Peter Simpson took that picture back in 1999.

Thank you.

Nice tractors!

[@taylorh3930]

I work for one of the biggest farmers in Saskatchewan Canada and we run John Deere! We have a couple of old Deere's one we have have is a 6030 John Deere that I pull a 35 cultivator with it when I hit the hills the front tires are in the air and it's all wheel breaks. I enjoy working the old 6030 we got a couple fields along the highway and when I got that 35ft cultivator as far as it'll dig and I got them tires starting to leave the ground and smoking a little smoke I get thumbs up from everyone.

[@NorthEastSaskFarmer]

Tyler Tyler I’m from sask. any farm using a 6030 for field work is not going to be one of the biggest farms here.

[@waylonfrazee4625]

The allis chalmers 7580 needs to be on here

[@grantlewton]

Pretty sure it was not built until 1977. This video only covers 1970.

[@heatmoon]

Awesome thanks. Can you do a top 10 of 2wd tractor horsepower like this? They are lost into time, but Allis Chalmers made the 7080 which had 210hp, Case and Massey both made 200hp+ true 2 wheel drive tractors as well.

[@brianlowe7608]

the 1470 was a cosmetic upgrade to the old 1200 (crab steer )-about this time labor union strikes broke J.I.Case -which was then taken over by TENNACO-who proceeded with a new design 870-970-1070-1270-1370-1570-2470(articulated)-some old parts -some new -but especially their super quiet roll guard modular cab and powershifts-made them a huge seller in the 70's

[@jeremylarson6920]

You should do a top 10 Allis Chalmers models.

[@waylonfrazee4625]

I agree allis chalmers is the best

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

I don’t remember the AC model, it was a Steiger frame, Steiger wiring harness, AC axles, I think AC engine. We brought 1 in from south of the lake with a blown motor, replaced it with the Steiger model Cat motor. I had to go out to get the air conditioning fixed on this one after we got it running. The problem was the micro switch on the dashboard controls. 250 miles to replace a micro switch!!! Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

[@backachershomestead]

There's a Wagner JD in Watseka/ Crescent city Illinois

[@natethegreatone]

Cool video! Not sure why you used the Oliver 2455 instead of the MM A4T-1600 or 1400. It was Minneapolis Moline's design after all. Maybe because it was the more rare variation.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

A really cool looking machine, in the Oliver colour scheme, and as with the John Deere/Wagner tie up, was another exercise in badge engineering. At least some people seem to think this phenomena is a recent thing, but it has in fact been going on for many decades.

[@tyrellwagner9126]

I like the Wagner/ John Deere tractor

[@gavingraham1731]

Me too

[@coltoncarpenter3790]

John deere shafted Wagner on the contract and caused them to go bankrupt. John deere did it to a lot a company's shows how much a crook the company is. They hate the fact they can't get farmers to get rid of the tractors they built in from the 60s to the 90s for a new deere aswell.

[@robertfoote3255]

[@blainevolesky9653]

I agree, it like a lot of Deere's products was truly ahead of it's time

[@coltoncarpenter3790]

@@blainevolesky9653 deere wasnt ahead of the time when its Wagners design. Deere was and is normally behind on innovative moves. Usually the last to give in with change like their 2 cylinder tractors, conventional combines, the last of the 4000 series tractors in 93 and 94. Like i mention before deere also tries to shaft their competition if they cant buy them out.

[@actorzone856]

Look up "Baldwin" made in Australia, started making them in production in late in 70s, biggest was 600 hp, closed shop early 1990's, extremely nice looking tractor.

[@henrydouglas3284]

actorzone 9

[@charlesfuglie2491]

i notice that the 145 versatile was hp at the draw would make it more at the engine because you lose some through the gears and that would put it higher on the list. it should put it about 175 or near that

[@andymotl]

So what are you basing this off of? Engine hp or tractor weight?

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

Most 4x4 tractors are rated off of the motor hp.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

On the John Deere-Wagner, John Deere enter into a contract with Wagner, built for 4 years, then shutdown the factory before they paid off Wagner. Then made an Ag tractor out of a log skidder. The 7020.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

When John Deere were involved with Wagner, as essentially a badge engineering exercise, part of the contract stipulated a non compete clause, inasmuch as so long as Wagner were making tractors for John Deere, they were not allowed to manufacture and sell any tractors under their own brand name. This effectively put the Wagner Tractor Company out of business. God only knows who in their right minds would have signed such a one sided deal in the first place, but that's what happened. I can only speculate that perhaps the Wagner Company were in financial dire straits, and signed such a contract, out of desperation. John Deeres' negotiators obviously drove an extremely hard bargain !

[@davidkonning8395]

You forgot the German tractors by the Company Anton Schlüter, witch had up to 200 hp in 1970 as prototype (Schlüter Super 2000v)

[@davidkonning8395]

no problem just a hint

[@ryanfondie3680]

What about the big bud with like 900hp

[@grantlewton]

Are you talking about the Bid Bud 747? It was made in 1977, not 1970

[@ryanfondie3680]

Mr. Diamond Lazy H that’s what I was talking about and ok

[@thevox1075]

Versatile 145 had 180hp, 145 at the drawbar.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

I believe you are correct. American and Canadian tractor manufacturers usually quoted their tractor outputs in either PTO horsepower and/or drawbar horsepower, since both of these indicated more acurrately indicated how much power was available to do actual, useful work. Engine horsepower quotes were quite often meaningless, as a lot of power could be lost between engine, transmission, PTO and drawbar, due to either poor design or else at least some power was absorbed to run multi plate clutches in partial or full power power shift type transmissions, hydraulic services, electrical loads etc. No such thing as a free lunch, is an expression that readily springs to mind. Fendt produce the 1050 tractor with an advertised rating of 517 engine horsepower, but what is telling is that they don't advertise how much of that power is available at the PTO and drawbar, since a huge amount is absorbed through their transmission and all of the other all singing, all dancing features of that model. It remains the highest horsepower conventional rigid frame tractor on the market, but regardless of how you dress it up, what really matters, is how much of that power gets to the drive wheels. My personal opinion is that such a horsepower rating is better delivered to the ground via an articulated tractor on the grounds of better weight distribution under implement load - exactly how all artics are designed to be. No two wheel assist tractor, with unequal sized wheels can possibly compete with that, regardless of engine horsepower - it simply boils down to basic physics, which there's no getting away form. Furthermore, artic tractors would be generally less stressed as an overall design when compared with a tractor in the same horsepower category, but utilising a conventional rigid frame set up.

[@bigbudw5093]

The Versatile 145 was 180 engine hp from a Cummins 470. 145 is the drawbar hp. I think you might be mistaking the 145 for the 118 or 125 because I think one of those two tractors had a 155 engine hp. Also, the Big Bud HN 250 was either 280 or 310 hp. It actually had two engine options. Good work though.

[@keithdickie5550]

Just to add a note, the 118 Versatile had a V6 352 ci engine 145 hp & the 125 Versatile was a gas with Ford 391 V8

[@plowboy248]

what about the Oliver 2655

[@grantlewton]

It wasnt produced until 1971 was it? This video only includes tractors from 1970. Sweet tractor though, we owned a White 4wd, that was basically an updated Oliver

[@gavingraham1731]

This is a video request, could you do a video on the best selling Allis-Chalmers tractor?

[@nellsonstout7001]

I think a Versatile 145 is more like 173 engine horsepower. Drawbar horsepower tends to be anywhere from 30 horsepower less than engine horsepower or more on a tractor that size. As for the 2455, not even 10 were made. Even the biggest experts on White farm equipment and the brands that made it aren’t sure. There’s either 2,1, or 0

[@nellsonstout7001]

Also, the tigers you showed were 2 turbo tiger 1s which weren’t out yet in 1970 and a 2200. Not complaining by the true Tiger 1 is extremely well and there’s a lot of confusion. If you’d like, give me your email address and I’ll send you pictures of a real tiger 1

I just wanted to that was interresting , and i would like to add that. Stiger built tractors for ford and Intl Harvester . They were the same tractor just a paint scheme and a name change like Wagner did for deere Also check into Woods Copeland and Rome those wete fairly large for there time.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

Wrong! The Ford was a Steiger painted blue & white. The IHC was a Steiger frame & cab. IH motor, IH transfer case, IH axles. That is why most 4366’s got parked, fan though the radiator, or transfer case out. The AC I think was a Steiger painted orange, black, & white.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

@@darrelfuhrman8217 Correct. The Stieger built Fords (built from 1977 thru '82/83 ish) were based on Stiegers' own equivilent Series III 'ST' (Narrow Frame - 39"), designated tractors. These tractors had a slightly longer wheelbase of 132•50", versus the 128•00" wheelbase of the 'ST' designated Stiegers (Wide Frame 44"). These tractors also had the option of a hydraulically driven PTO, which gave either 54hp at 540 rpm or 105hp at 1000 rpm. All previous Stiegers didn't feature a PTO, up until this point. You are indeed correct that with the tie up with IH in 1973, they specified their own axles and engines and had the tractors styled in keeping with the equivilent high horsepower two wheel drive tractors of the era. A particulary problematic model was the V8 engined model, with the engine itself causing several issues. Not a very reliable machine. It is telling, that many (but not all) artic tractor manufacturers these days specify large capacity 6 cylinder engines for their machines, and in many cases also, will be bought in from an outside manufacturer, as the cost of developing ones own engine for what is still a comparatively small market share (artic versus rigid), does not make financial sense - the figures simply do not stack up.
