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.
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.
Allis Chalmers is my favourite tractor company. Thanks for including the 4wd 220 . I had no idea there was only 175 of them produced. Love your channel!!
I would take my birth year 1986 challenger to high school in the early 2000’s or take it to my grocery store where I work!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Steiger tractors are always awesome. Big Bud..... What more to say? But my favorite was the International 7288. I loved the beautiful style of it and all the final Internationals produced before the merger.
6-71 is 6 cylinders at 71cid each. Not 671cid. Love the video. Thank you for bringing us so many unique tractors to watch and listen to! You do us all a service, sir!
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....
Awesome video as always. I love all big tractor videos. My favorite of these is definitely the 1156 Ford. I've always loved Ford tractors. Wish they still made them. But also still have to love BIG BUD period.
@@bigtractorpower other rare tractors are the fendt 626ls and 622ls Fendt they produced not even 80 peices of both and where the some of the strongest 4wd standard tractors
You should also include the Big Boy tractor produced by Versatile and on display at the Austin museum in Manitoba. The 6 71 Detroit engine you mentioned is not 671 cubic inches but has 6- 71 cubic inch cylinders.
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".
Love the videos. There were less than 100 8010's built and all but 1 was updated to 8020 specs. They used a 426 ci detroit diesel 6-71 engine. Not a 671 ci engine. The only remaining original 8010 is in the keller collection.
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
BTP, congratulations on 300K Subscibers and your 2000th video, I have always enjoyed your content, history, specs and price of the equipment. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. I have to go with the Big Bud myself.
Congratulations on 2000 videos🎉👍 I watch your videos for several years now, and all I can say is that every video you share with us is just awesome! It is amazing to see how big your channel got😉 I'm looking forward to see another 2000 videos😁👍 Thank you jason!😀
What a Mile stone. It's because of this channel that the best and good old days of farming is kept alive by featuring some of the best and rarest equipment doing what it dose best. Love it and can't wait to see more.
Hey big tractor guy,love ur show its awesome, but might I suggest a minor change to the 8020 John Deere,the GM motor was called the 671,but that 2 stroke Detroit actually displaced 426 cu inch and was a Fantastic motor, thanks guys ,great show
The 6-71 designation tells us it’s a inline motor,6 cylinders and 71cu per cylinder. If it was a V6 the designation would be 6v-71. 2stroke Jimmy’s we’re about the coolest way to convert diesel fuel in to noise lol
@@lolatingey3608 this past April marks my 32 year milking cows and 17 as a herdsman. A lot of those years has also been a lot of ass in the seat time doing fieldwork too and I grew up on a farm,we used to bleed Oliver green and Clover white.
@@SkipShooter Yes the 6v71 was a 70.9 cubic inch per cylinder (rounded to 71) and the v ment it was a v series design and the 6 meant it had 6 cylinders. if it had a N after it meant it was 4 valves per cylinder and a single T meant it was Turbo charged in the last years of the 2 strokes they had the TT series as well but it didnt mean Twin turboed... it meant torque taylored. and due to the growing emission issues these torque taylored made less power and were more emission friendly.
Love your content especially 70s and 80s stuff. Brings me back to my childhood. I'm not in farming anymore but your vids are the next best thing. I can smell the air and diesel fuel
Congratulations Jason, You put out out quality informative videos. .You sir have reached quite a milestone! That's a tough question. The Ford is a good looking tractor but all were amazing power houses for there day. My least favorite would have to be the ant eater styled IH
Thank you very much for watching there’s a lot of great classic iron out there to film. There are still several other rare tractors on my wish list but I hope to track down.
Great video. Detroit Diesel engines displacement designations were kind of different. A 6-71 engine means it’s a 6 cylinder and each cylinder is 71 cu inches for a displacement of 426 cu inches not 671 cu inches.
Thank you very much somehow I messed up in my notes I didn’t look at something right when I narrated that. This video took over a week to put together with all the details and I just missed that one and I wish I had not.
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!
You’ll probably call bs on this, but I can back it up. Yeah v8 diesels aren’t torque monsters but the 3408 cat will typically match a K model cummins torque output at the same RPMs
Congratulations On 2k Jason That's a Milestone, Thanks For All Your Time And Effort Recording, Editing And Uploading For All Us To Enjoy, Big Bud 747 Is My Favorite.
Thank you for watching it’s a lot of fun tracking down these rare tractors and filming all the machinery that I’ve been able to see over the past 11 years.
I don't know why but i love this kind of stuff, i was never a farmer but my dad was, so maybe that's why, and i do remember being around these machines and many other kinds of tractors and cotton pickers and even dozer's my dad used to operate, he did a lot of plowing on dozers and i remember going out to the multiple acre fields he would be plowing bringing him his lunch and i remember the huge ploom of dust that was raisinup in the sky as he was way off in the distance, my dad loved farming and did it most of his life, i guess that's why i can watch hours of just plowing, sounds crazy but it seems to relax me. R.I.P. Pop i miss you, one of the hardest working men ive ever known.
Didn't 2+2s bankrupt IH? They were a novel concept that just didn't sell, after alot of $ had been spent in development. I knew of a few who had them, and they didn't keep them long. The ide made sense, but didn't sell.
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.
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.
Congratulations on the success of your channel, i have always had a passion for big tractors after visiting the Cheshire show (Uk) in the early 80's The biggest tractor's in our area were a ford county used for drainage & a ford 9600 , big bud has to be the daddy in my book 👍 thankyou for all the interesting content
All awesome !!! This is the best of online production. Nothing comes close. Born with the last name Steiger, very obvious which are my favorites. But truth is every tractor featured here are great. Thanks for all the great videos and narratives.
I’ve always heard Deere made 100 8010s then there was a transmission recall and 99 went back, got their transmission fixed and rebranded as 8020, one 8010 didn’t go back
Serial number one is still an 8010 and is in a collection. The 8020 was offered for four years so I do not think they were all built in 1960 and stocked. I will have to find out how long they were manufacture.
Man your channel is one of my favorites on RUclips! Congratulations to the 2000th video! Honestly I didn’t think many people would be interested in watching tractors on RUclips, but then again many people say the same about those who like cars or watching people farm.
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. Dave Curtis built a great tractor that was ahead of the curve, I owned 8 Rite tractors and know most all of them are still working.
That is pretty interesting actually - don't often get so much detail on the background detail of such goings on. I thought John Deere had a non compete clause in their contract with Wagner, which was pretty much why they went out of business. Wasn't aware of the Drop Box issue
@@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.
I was a mech.at a red dealer. Very proud to have worked on the bicentennial case tractor, big tractors, newest to the oldest, best job ever, Toners were the best people to work for, we worked for the customer, they welcome in our shop anytime we were open, our customers were our bosses and part of the co. Almost. The Toners were most decent employers you could want to work for.PERIOD...1 cust. Had a steiger, fun stuff, 3 steigers.
I would gladly include the 1080 in this video unfortunately I have not had an opportunity to film it. Hopefully someday I will for this video I was sharing the tractors that are rare that I’ve been able to film so far.
@@douglaskauffman2692 surprised me too. First tractor I thought of when I clicked on this video, as they were built 30 some miles east of where I grew up and still live and remember seeing them every year at the Divide County Fair. Jerome built a state of the art tractor!
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 have to thank you for showing me these great machines. I am just amazed how some manufacture's could make such large machines for a reasonable price and other were just gouging the marketplace. Years ago I got a ride in Big Bud and can say the machine is bullet proof. The smoothness is really obvious for the size as the machine sings. Look forward to see way more videos that you made Sir. Peace to you and have your self a Happy New Year and peace be with you too. VF
Always love your vids, thank you. My favourite tractor is the John Deere 4440 because I drove one on my dad's farm between the ages of 6 till I was about 16 years old. Great memories in that tractor.
whenever woods and copeland moved from texas my great uncle bought the building where they assembled the woods and copeland tractors in wharton texas, it has been his machine shop for the last nearly 50 years and he has a woods and copeland that he bought that was built there.
A steiger tiger with a big ol 3408 cat sounds like a monster, people think v8s are junk but the 3408 is arguably the best large V8 diesel engine built and put in so many different uses.
i was a parts person with a agricultural dealer with a ford dealership so was familiar with the versatile rangethe biggest ford we sold was the fw60 8 wheel articulateded tractor. loved your vid!
Congrats on hitting 300K sub's BTP. Same for hitting the 2K video mark. Those are both big deals IMO.IIRC, you were at 13,000 subs when I joined on. I have watched every single video you have posted, even all those made before I sub'd. Again, congratulations!! My favorite in this video is that AC 220, but that big Ford at the beginning is right up there. That's a rare sight. The BB is seen much more often than that Ford in videos.
Thank you very much I have to say that back at 13,000 I didn’t even know about subscribers or how are you to worked. I didn’t even really know how many people were watching I was just having a lot of fun cheering the tractors I was seeing. I’m looking forward to making many more videos.
The old 8850 John Deere is one of my favorite four-wheel drive tractors of all time. I put 4,500 hours on it, and then we rebuilt the motor and started over again. An unfortunate family incident allowed the tractor to be sold, and I regret that. However, I just purchased a Steiger tiger, rated at 525 horsepower. It is restored, and looks like the one on the Renner farms video. I love it.
@@bustersmith5569 the 8850 was only supposed to last about 44 to 4500 hours. John Deere told us this when we bought it. It was a short life motor, and very expensive to rebuild. But that's all they would last, that's one of the main reasons there's not more of them still around today with original motors in them. If they could ,they went to Kenzie repower, and an 855 Cummins.
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.
Great video ! Lot of classy tractors from those years.Got a soft spot for the 1156’s. Son runs a couple of them in southwest Mb. Big Bud should get a spot in the Smithsonian if it’s ever retired.
I was a young kid in my 3rd year of High School in central Illinois in 1978 and remember seeing the debut of the Big Bud 747 at the Farm Progress Show. What a Machine! Even today it’s a sight to behold…. Oh Fellow Americans. Please press your CongressMan to help American Farmers and Farm industry Manufacturers

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.
I still have great memories of long endless hot summer days driving the Steiger Tiger
Thank you for listing the 747! It is overlooked by so many of these "large tractor" videos. It's awesome to sit in the cab!
Lucky you!
Congrats on 2,000. All those who grew up farming and now live in town appreciate the nostalgia you bring us. Can't wait for the next 2,000

Allis Chalmers is my favourite tractor company.

Didn't 2+2s bankrupt IH? They were a novel concept that just didn't sell, after alot of $ had been spent in development. I knew of a few who had them, and they didn't keep them long. The ide made sense, but didn't sell.
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.
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.
Congratulations on the success of your channel, i have always had a passion for big tractors after visiting the Cheshire show (Uk) in the early 80's
The biggest tractor's in our area were a ford county used for drainage & a ford 9600 , big bud has to be the daddy in my book 👍 thankyou for all the interesting content
Very cool. I like County tractors. The Ford 9000 is one of my all time favorite tractors
All awesome !!! This is the best of online production. Nothing comes close. Born with the last name Steiger, very obvious which are my favorites. But truth is every tractor featured here are great. Thanks for all the great videos and narratives.
I’ve always heard Deere made 100 8010s then there was a transmission recall and 99 went back, got their transmission fixed and rebranded as 8020, one 8010 didn’t go back
That is true. John Deere had transmission problems with the 8010 and I think the 2010.
Serial number one is still an 8010 and is in a collection. The 8020 was offered for four years so I do not think they were all built in 1960 and stocked. I will have to find out how long they were manufacture.
The 6-71 Detroit is not 671 cubic inches. The 6 is for 6 cylinders the 71 is the cubic inches per cylinder. Keep the good videos coming!!!!
@@lolatingey3608 Don't farm anymore(I worked on my parents beef farm until I was 26), just a tractor buff.
Man your channel is one of my favorites on RUclips! Congratulations to the 2000th video! Honestly I didn’t think many people would be interested in watching tractors on RUclips, but then again many people say the same about those who like cars or watching people farm.
I really appreciate all the Tractor fans that tune into the channel and I never thought that there were as many out there as there are.
It’s hard to decide what’s my favorite brand or model, they all look beautiful
if you can’t choose just take them all
😁👍👍
Great video and congratulations on your 2000th video!!
Thank you for watching.
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. Dave Curtis built a great tractor that was ahead of the curve, I owned 8 Rite tractors and know most all of them are still working.
Dave Curtis is my great uncle
imbeciles and morons say farmers r stupid
That is pretty interesting actually - don't often get so much detail on the background detail of such goings on. I thought John Deere had a non compete clause in their contract with Wagner, which was pretty much why they went out of business. Wasn't aware of the Drop Box issue
John Deere is well noted for copying patents. Have been doing it for long time.
@@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.
I was a mech.at a red dealer. Very proud to have worked on the bicentennial case tractor, big tractors, newest to the oldest, best job ever, Toners were the best people to work for, we worked for the customer, they welcome in our shop anytime we were open, our customers were our bosses and part of the co. Almost. The Toners were most decent employers you could want to work for.PERIOD...1 cust. Had a steiger, fun stuff, 3 steigers.
What about the Versatile “Big Roy”?
Well it wasn’t a production machine. (Surprisingly enough,) the big bud 747 was. No one ever ordered another though😂
I would gladly include the 1080 in this video unfortunately I have not had an opportunity to film it. Hopefully someday I will for this video I was sharing the tractors that are rare that I’ve been able to film so far.
Or A Knudson
@@lolatingey3608 yes. Im in ohio
@@douglaskauffman2692 surprised me too. First tractor I thought of when I clicked on this video, as they were built 30 some miles east of where I grew up and still live and remember seeing them every year at the Divide County Fair. Jerome built a state of the art tractor!
I worked on a farm near Cardston southern Alberta back '98 that had 2 1156 Versatiles. Was there custom harvesting, great scenery!
5:30 A 7 liter Detroit would be 426 cid / or just called a 6-71
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 have to thank you for showing me these great machines. I am just amazed how some manufacture's could make such large machines for a reasonable price and other were just gouging the marketplace. Years ago I got a ride in Big Bud and can say the machine is bullet proof. The smoothness is really obvious for the size as the machine sings. Look forward to see way more videos that you made Sir. Peace to you and have your self a Happy New Year and peace be with you too. VF
For some European brands of the era, 200 units of heavy tractors actually would be quite a lot, e.g. Schlüter.
Schlüters are really neat looking tractors. I've watched a few videos on them
Weren’t Schülters the first tractor with equal sized wheels?
@@hairlesscat6458 I'm not sure about that. Massey Harris had a early 4wd in the 20s or 30s but wasn't a success
@@dougschmitii6165 The first tractor with equal wheels in Europe was the DUTRA D-4KB.
Always love your vids, thank you. My favourite tractor is the John Deere 4440 because I drove one on my dad's farm between the ages of 6 till I was about 16 years old. Great memories in that tractor.
whenever woods and copeland moved from texas my great uncle bought the building where they assembled the woods and copeland tractors in wharton texas, it has been his machine shop for the last nearly 50 years and he has a woods and copeland that he bought that was built there.
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting.
As a kid my dad owned an 1156 with triples. It was purchased brand new. Makes me smile to see it here
😁👍👍👍👍
Love how most of the steigers featured are all being run with the doors open eating dust. Best memory of them is the day they were traded off lol
Congratulation on 300,000 subs and 2,000th video.
Thank you. It’s been fun to film all these great machines.
The Detroit diesel for the 8020 is a 426 ci 6-71. 71 ci per cylinder.
I caught that too.
I really enjoy you're videos ,I can appreciate the time it took to make them,thank you
The 8020 had a 6- 71 Detroit witch was 425 cu. in. My. Favorite video would your of your 8850.
Always solid videos. The footage and narration are very enjoyable.
Thank you for watching.
7288 IH 👍👍👍👍👍👍
😁👍
They are so visually satisfying to look at like that’s what horsepower looks like
A steiger tiger with a big ol 3408 cat sounds like a monster, people think v8s are junk but the 3408 is arguably the best large V8 diesel engine built and put in so many different uses.
As an owner of two V8 tractors if you treat them well they should do a good job but there’s always a risk in them. This tiger is a very cool tractor.
@@bigtractorpower yah their always is but a 3408 is a proven reliable motor that shouldn't have no issues even putting out 600 plus horse
Congratulations! Wow 2,000! Thank you for the long list of facts you gave in this video.
It was fun filming and sharing all these tractors. Thank you for watching.
@@bigtractorpower You're welcome
@@lolatingey3608 Yes I have for most of my life.
@@lolatingey3608 Hi Lola, I live in US and grew up close to many farms in my childhood. but have not owned an actual farm.
@@lolatingey3608 What do you want to confide?
Congratulations on 2k Great job Thanks for sharing 👍 👏
Thank you very much.
One of my favorite channels on RUclips!!! Keep up the great work!! Makes my day better every time I see that you posted another video!!!
Thank you for watching. Many more videos on the way.
Like the Big Buds. It's amazing how many big tractors were developed out of small shops.
👍👍
i was a parts person with a agricultural dealer with a ford dealership so was familiar with the versatile rangethe biggest ford we sold was the fw60 8 wheel articulateded tractor. loved your vid!
Congratulations all around Jason! Great channel.
Thank you.
Excellent. Such a great video. Congratulations on the success of your channel, it is well earned.
Thank you for watching. It is fun getting to film and share these machines.
I grew up driving on our family farm a White 4-210. This was my favorite tractor!
Congrats to 2K. Big thank for your videos.
Congrats on hitting 300K sub's BTP. Same for hitting the 2K video mark. Those are both big deals IMO.IIRC, you were at 13,000 subs when I joined on. I have watched every single video you have posted, even all those made before I sub'd. Again, congratulations!! My favorite in this video is that AC 220, but that big Ford at the beginning is right up there. That's a rare sight. The BB is seen much more often than that Ford in videos.
Thank you very much I have to say that back at 13,000 I didn’t even know about subscribers or how are you to worked. I didn’t even really know how many people were watching I was just having a lot of fun cheering the tractors I was seeing. I’m looking forward to making many more videos.
The old 8850 John Deere is one of my favorite four-wheel drive tractors of all time. I put 4,500 hours on it, and then we rebuilt the motor and started over again. An unfortunate family incident allowed the tractor to be sold, and I regret that. However, I just purchased a Steiger tiger, rated at 525 horsepower. It is restored, and looks like the one on the Renner farms video. I love it.
Gary Vignal 4500 hours ? That's sure not a lot to have to do a rebuild,,,,,,,,
@@bustersmith5569 the 8850 was only supposed to last about 44 to 4500 hours. John Deere told us this when we bought it. It was a short life motor, and very expensive to rebuild. But that's all they would last, that's one of the main reasons there's not more of them still around today with original motors in them. If they could ,they went to Kenzie repower, and an 855 Cummins.
The 8850 and the Tiger III are cool tractors. John Deere built just over 1,700 8850s. I own a 1982 8850 and a 1974 Turbo Tiger I.
Congratulations on 300k sub Jason. This channel has some amazing footage.
Thank you.
a few 8010 were made all recalled but one wasn't turned in for updates
Congrats Jason on 2K. I have not seen them all, saw maybe 1099! Keep up the good work
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.
Congratulations on 2000 videos my friend. A very good way to spend my evenings!
Thank you for watching I certainly agree 😁👍
@@bigtractorpower Are you aware of the Ford FW35?
Big bud is always a favorite but that Ford 😍 congrats on 2000 man keep up the hard work! 💪
@@lolatingey3608 of course! It's why I'm here! Who are you lol
I enjoyed all of the machinery and the information. Like to see video of more of the big bud machinery vs the bigger manufacturers.
Brilliant production ~ dó most certainly keep your interesting work going. Superbly informative…👊🔥⁉️Thanks kindly.
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.
Yes, and all those old two stroke had a supercharger installed that was mandatory for a two stroke General Motors Detroit Diesel to run.
@@July.4.1776 I don't think they need superchargers just turbochargers are a blower to run.
Great video ! Lot of classy tractors from those years.Got a soft spot for the 1156’s. Son runs a couple of them in southwest Mb. Big Bud should get a spot in the Smithsonian if it’s ever retired.
Very cool on the 1156. The 747 is a monster. It was awesome to film the field last fall.
I did the PDI and installed the duals a few new blue Ford or Ford New Holland 1156 Versatiles at the dealership back in the day. Awesome tractors!
Thanks for sharing such informative videos
I was a young kid in my 3rd year of High School in central Illinois in 1978 and remember seeing the debut of the Big Bud 747 at the Farm Progress Show. What a Machine!
