You guys have invented all kinds of new ways to get a BIG BUD stuck in the swamp and then... wiggle and squerm and pull and pull and wiggle some more. Very cool.
Never give up never surrender! And bring another tractor along haha.
Nick I love how you guys keep the Big Buds around. When I graduated from school in Shelby I went to school in Havre for Diesel Mechanics and loved seeing Big Buds all around. I wish I would have toured the plant back when they were making them. Love watching your videos!
Dollar per horsepower they are the most cost effective machine one can buy in this country. Cheap to fix and heavy enough to get the job done. I wish I could have gone back in time and visited the factory in its prime. That is really cool you went to Havre for Diesel Mechanics, I almost went there after high school. I'm sure great school then and still a great school today.
Came here after playing around with these tractors in Farming Simulator 2017. I think I could watch your Big Bud videos all day long. They are fascinating!
Glad you enjoy them so much, I'll have more videos later this year.
that's some serious power, I doubt that any of the newer tractors could do this, except versatile,"I'm a fan!"👍👍👍👍
My dad showed me your videos and I like them he used to live near you in Shelby Montana and I would like to farm or ranch when I'm older so keep up the great videos there really good quality and fun too watch and you have some nice machinery I especially like the John Deere loader restoration
Thanks for watching! That is really cool your dad used to live here, its a small town and windy country but we love it here. We will be doing a new Big Bud restoration soon but I won't have a video up till it is completed which could be a few months.
Always love your videos, great shots, editing, etc! This one especially is just great stuff! Not many 'Buds around here, only a couple that I know of. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching! I was waiting for some more "stuck moments" but last year we didn't get any of them stuck so I figured better just make the video instead of waiting another year.
So cool video, but I didn't think so big tractor could get into trouble. Thank you for sharing your amazing video and good luck with your work
Its amazing how mud can be bottomless and swallow up a large tractor. It is usually because the tractor is pulling a cultivator and already under load, once it hits the mud it just digs down. If it were driving by itself, it could cross most mud pits.
Always something fun about watching a good stuck tractor pull lol
+Northern farmer yes it is! Not sure why and always try to avoid but when it happens it is exciting.
Those Big Buds are beastly.
a tip: watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Jaylen Skyler yea, have been using flixzone for since december myself :)
@Jaylen Skyler Yea, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
@Jaylen Skyler definitely, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
Just pure power if you ask me. The towing Bud is towing without any struggle, awesome!
+JJ 2608 They are beasts!
We are in UK on a 300 acre so tractors are not quite as big, but last summer we were loading a lorry on a field it suddenly chucked it down with rain the lorry got hopelessly stuck the opposite end of the field from the gateway. We pulled it half way up the field with two tractors a new holland 260hp (new tyres) a fastrac 230hp (new tyres) and pushing with a jcb teleporter (new tyres) still got stuck so had to empty middle of field, even empty needed 2 tractors to pull it out, was good fun, but made a huge mess of the field ouch!!!
Ouch! That sounds like a mess! And a lot of equipment they don't really have any good anchor points to attach to when pulling out. Seems like axles are the best bet! A lorry fully loaded can sink pretty deep!
big bud was pulling little bud around and about that time I was thinking what happens when big bud gets stuck, you started fighting to get big bud out of the mud, looked bad there for a minute. pretty cool outcome :)
It was a nasty situation at the end there, we finally broke down and bought a $1000 100ft 2inch cable to pull it out, that thing is great and hasn't broken since.
When Big Bud starts rolling that coal that means that Cummins is going to work
Sweet Video! big tractors gettin stuck is fun to watch! this reminds me of year before last when we got our Steiger 485 bogged really bad and it took both our magnum 275 and JD 8530 to get it out lol
Oh wow! you guys must have gotten it pretty stuck! Once they are axles deep it is a chore to get them out. Always an adventure farming near mud.
Holy cow, I can't believe you were able to get them out of these situations. It's incredible how those chains and cables can pull the unbelievable weight of a Big Bud tractor and sprayers/plows out of the suction of mud. Good thing you have more than one Bud - what do people with only one tractor do??
If you only had one tractor you better hope your neighbors are friendly! We are fortunate to have a few large tractors. And as you can see most chains and cables don't stand the stress and pop. We have a large cable that we use now, it won't break:)
That was really fun to watch!! Those tractors sound great!!
Thanks for watching! Some of the only videos I have with tractor audio, need more!
Brute force! Impressive power.....when he pulled that dozer out of the pond muck I knew he was bad! Cool stuff! I'm a small gardener from Alabama, can't really relate on this scale!
It is always an exciting moment when something gets stuck:)
Legarms was small back here man!! Hardly recognise him 😃😃
Hahahahaha bad ass guys. Love them BIG BUDS,only drove one once in CutBank. Don't have them here in N.E.Oregon. ☕🍩🍨🍦🍕cheers.
They are fun machines! But like anything they still get stuck haha.
That red yellow dozer looks like an RC toy.
One thing that might help your towing cables stay together is to have the end splices made correctly. The saddle always goes on the live end of the turnback, and it looks like you are using too few clips for your rope size. By the charts I find, a 1" rope should have 5 clips along a 26" minimum turnback length. Granted, those charts are for overhead lifting, not towing, but lifting is the stricter application. Regardless of that, a clipped end fitting only develops 80% of the rated strength of the rope, while some other types of end fittings have higher load ratings, up to and including the full rated strength of the rope. That's why those heavy military tow cables use crimped end fittings - they get full rating.
A friend of mine taught me a phase that helps me remember how the clamps should go on. "Never saddle a dead horse".
Wow when they get stuck , they REALLY get stuck don't they ...lol great video .
It can get bad really quick! Mud can be bottomless at times
Great compilation video.
now that's a stuck haha loved it thanks
Great video enjoyed it , that looks like heavy black land like we have here in South Texas on the coastal plains.
Thanks! Yes lots of shale and alkaline. Our top soil isn't more than 12-15 inches deep. Not like that sweet land in Iowa!
Have your ever heard Corb Lund's song "The Truck Got Stuck"? Every time I see something buried or I get something buried that song comes to mind. That looks like it can be a hell of a project to get them Big Buds out at times. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
+ih1206 I can't say I have but I imagine it would go well with this haha!
Geez, is that the younger, thinner Scott aka LegArms??? Wowzers!!!
Wow, large machine technology! You have "Big Bud", i have the "Big Boys"! Greetings
Big Bud...Power Horse of the Galaxy!
This is awesome. I thought the "little" bud had more power
This was before we repowered it, had an older 855 cummins rated at 350hp and we bumped it up to 435 with the N-14.
I love the big bud tractors
Hardy recognized LegArms!
It's been awhile since that happened
I don't know how y'all ever get any work done always playing in the mud and getting stuck lol. Fun video as always. 👍👍👍👍👍
Love love love love love love love sound big buds rare
Man you guys get stuck you get stuck!
Thanks for the video.
This is just like Brother helping Brother but it is with Big Buds
Impressive! Its a pain in the arse when we get one of our tractors stuck, and they are only babies compared to these!
It sure is! We try to avoid it but soft spots in the fields get the better of us!
It’s the amount of time you guys spend stuck, you need to get one of those surplus tank recovery vehicles 😂. You wouldn’t have to take another tractor out of operation that way either.
Loved this vid, subscribed! Must be such a pain in the ass when a machine gets stuck, takes another tractor off a job to get it out, meaning they aren't working along with the operators. Makes for great footage though!!!! 😝
+AlhayezRC thanks for watching and subbing! It can be a pain but one way or another we seem to get them out.
I had to get myself un-stuck from the mud a few times. I was solo most of the time so after getting stuck in the mud, spinning with no traction, I'd park a second tractor on solid ground and then use a short crowbar, a cable, and a 40 foot yank strap with looped ends. I'd slip the looped end of the strap between two of the big tractor tires and stick the crowbar through the holes that passed through the big steel rims of the tractor securing the strap to the wheels so when I put the tractor in low gear it effectively turned the strap and space between the wheels into a giant winch. The steel cable was for if I couldn't get close enough with the other tractor for the strap to reach.. Every wet spring I had to do this and it worked without fail.
+Steve Nuxoll what size tractor did use doing this? That is a great idea! Sometimes you just have to think outside the box and fix the problem with what is available.
Do you have a job for me for a season at your farm, I would like to try to work with big machines.
Wow! That's a lot of power in those Big Buds'
+Owen Games they are beasts!
Have you guys ever looked into dyneema rope. Lightweight and stronger then steel cable
Even the big boys get stuck!
It's all fun and games until the frame is touching the ground!
well shit... lol loved the rolling coal parts tho. :)
These old engines roll coal like no other! One thing the new stuff can't do.
thats y i hate new stuff..
some power there when you can break cables great video I have subbed to you
Thanks for watching and subbing!
Brilliant as ever ! Quite wrongly I assumed it was all bone dry apart from irrigation and rainfall with you out there Nick. I never expected you'd get wet mud holes on that ground. Is it caused by long standing water or springs ?
Thanks Lord Muck! Spring can have muddy ground after the snow has melted while other areas are fed by small springs and heavy alkaline low areas. Last year we didn't get one stuck but that can change quickly! Hows life out your way?
Things are okay here thanks Nick. Winter has started to take a grip but nothing serious, just colder temperatures and the odd flurry of snow. People are already talking of getting out in the next 6 - 8 weeks to start drilling as soon as the ground dries a bit. My channel is growing nicely and so I am busy filming and editing in between working !
Cheers, Kurt.
Glad to hear life is well with you. This winter has been a cold one for everyone and pretty good snow fall. 6-8 weeks seems early but I'm sure our climates are different. We usually end up going around the beginning of April. I see you are very diligent at getting new videos up! That is a good way to grow a channel, I haven't braved into doing weekly videos yet but I know it is important if you want a strong following. You've got some cool toys to play with and your country is beautiful. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Nick, from someone such as yourself, that means a lot.
What I liked was that it was a Getherdone video, no explanations, just straight up Hard work...
Hercules on wheels! 😉👍🏻
It's kinda violent how easy they pull out with that 600hp Big Bud!
+Owen Games we have to be careful, they can snap chains and cables with ease and that can kill someone.
When we stuck our agco allis 9635 in the mud. We tried pulling it with the next farm's john deere 4840 and stuck both of them. So we had a back hoe dig them out. it really ruined spring tillage for 2 farms.
Oh no! Always a bad bad day when you have to bring the hoe out and start digging. Some tractors can about be pulled in two pieces if they are not dug out.
Good video!
Awesome glad you liked it!
So finally everything can get stuck😀. Even Big Bud as well. But the machine value is depend on its operator and conditions. Don't look down the conditions brother.
How many chains, cables, tow-straps do you guys go through in a year? We break a few now and then in northern NJ, but we don't have anywhere NEAR the horsepower you guys are pulling with, haha. Great videos, and love seeing what farming is like across the US!
Oh boy, we've broken so many. But now that we have that 100 ft 2 inch cable we try to use it as we can't break it. You know anything can get really really stuck, big or small! I've buried a sprayer and smaller tractor back in the day!
Paul Fetzer need some Amsteel rope....
thanks for the video.....if you really want to piss people off take the tractor down the road to clean the tires...lol
Haha on freshly laid gravel too!
Some big ruts to work in. Also like the big buds
Those ruts were there for several years. Buds are great machines, built like tanks!
POWER POWER POOOOOWWWWEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes YES YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RábaSteiger Always forever:)
Beautiful tractors! Have you guys tried a tow strap? They stretch, so you can start with slack in the strap and hit it hard without hurting anything. Also if you break a strap they are way less dangerous than cables and chains. 👍
We haven't tried a large tow strap, I've seen guys use them and they seem to be pretty good. You are right though, they are way safer than anything metal. If we didn't have our 100 ft 2 inch cable I think we may have gone for a strap instead.
what exactly are you using as the toe cable? I noticed you snapped a couple steel cables.
For years we used chains and small 1/2 cables to pull rigs out, but now that they are so big and we love driving close to mud holes we've upgraded to a 100 ft 2 inch cable. I don't think we could break it if we tried.
Engine in that 747 sounds absolutely awesome when you stoke it up. Very nice!
+#16 Racing This actually isn't the 747 but it still sounds amazing!
Wor these big bud tractors are the greatiest machines in the world 😀😉
Oh, sorry :D
He's agreeing with you.
Working in the heavy recovery industry some times the way it went is the easiest way to get back out as you found out at the end of your video.
+DFRDRIFTPIG in most situations that is the best way to correct the mess!
+Welker Farms Inc :)
@ 1:17...was that before the dozer was repowered ?
Nice smoke
We use a 4 inch rope about 15 foot long it works great for the old case 9320 haven't broke that rope yet we've had it for 25 years and we have all the biggest equipment by case that's always worked for us
That is a big rope! I don't think you could break that if you tried! That is great its worked so well. Honestly I'd prefer that over our long cable as it is much easier to handle. The only problem we have is sometimes the only dry ground to pull from can be far away. Always an adventure lol.
Yeah it is lol.Ok have you ever tried a stretch pull rope they're only 3 inch ropes and you can take off with the pull tractor the same speed you guys did at 2:47 of the video when the rope retracts it'l pop em right out of the whole which means no wheel spin for the tractor doin the pullin so you don't gotta worry about bein on dry ground really it's all about the weight of the tractor doin the pullin not the tractor itself so you wont get stuck pullin it out we have a stretch rope too we've pulled a triaxle dump truck loaded with sugar beets out of a ditch with a dodge 1500 usein a stretch pull rope before so you should have no problem lol
Lol on my second look at that part you might need a little bigger one than just three inches maybe a 4 inch just to be safe a stretch rope would be the best thing you ever had in those situations Guaranteed
big problems require big power
from big buds
Wow those Big Buds like to play in the dirt.
wow, that tractor is awesome!
+AgroNovena [Farming Videos] Thanks!
AgroNovena [Farming Videos] ul
Good video. The summer 2014 my dad was running our mf 35 and he drove over some soft Ground and the tractor just sunk and Got stuck on the bottom of the tractor and we could not pull it out we had to get help from a frind with a bigger Ford tractor but that was noting compared to this. Also please excuse my bad english
Oh wow, a stuck tractor can make for a big headache! Thankful for helpful neighbors! Your english is great!
yes if it werent for our neighbour the tractor would have become a garden ornament :)
Real muscle 🙂👍🏻💪🏻
Oh the joys of being a farmer
You know it! haha, We love water but when it becomes mud things always get interesting.
That's awesome Nick! Who was filming at the end? It didn't sound like your dad... Love the music!
That was Jorden our friend:)
You need to use an "energy strap" to pull out the stuck equipment.
Why at 2:11 were you pulling it out at a 90 degree angle? Why not straight in line? You guys go through a lot of cables. Thanks for the post. Long live Big Buds.
+Motortube good question! The reason can't be seen in the video. There was a reservoir right in front that we had to avoid. Also the wide angle lense on the gopro makes it look like a 90 but really it was more like a 20 degree pull. Now with our 100ft 1inch cable we quit breaking chains
Are you not worried about the cable snapping? It can cut that tractor in half...
Rip all chains that were used in the making of this video
Holy crap those tractors are powerful. YOu guys should take em to MOAB and do some wheeling. ;)
+Atvsrawsome that would be sweet!!
Did u guys have more rain up there than u normally do?
These are clips from the past 5 or 6 years so no excessive rainfall. Last year we didn't get any of them stuck but this winter looks pretty wet so who knows what spring seeding will bring.
As much as y'all get stuck need to invest in some 1 1/4 amsteel blue tow lines super light and incredibly strong
Leg arms looks so young
You guys get 11 inches of raifall a year how do you manage to get the machines stuck!? Just giving ya a hard time love the channel.
Haha excellent point! You can't see it in the this video but the Bud is right below a large reservoir and the ground down there is saturated with water. We usually only get stuck in the spring after the snow melts. But knowing us, if there is any mud on the farm we will find it!
How many big buds to you guys have/had and how many more do you plan to restore/needs to be restored?
+ajv0987 We have 3 and at this point we don't plan on restoring any more. We need a minimum of 2 and so the 3rd provides a backup incase one goes down.
ok, cool, thanks
Big Bud saved that kachuka kachuka dozer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
buried our 4386 1 time and went through about 10 chains pulling out with our old 4166 but the worst was when we buried the 4166 took us 4 hours with the dozer to get it, how many off them do you guys have?
Oh no! We broke just about every good chain we had leading up to this. The best thing you can do is get a 50-100ft 2 inch cable. That can take just about everything you throw at it. We run 3 Big Buds.
When is your farming simulator 19 map going to come out?
You know you've done messed up when an 855 and a KTA 1150 working together can't fix the problem
Even worse both these Buds have KTA-1150s! Though the KT-450's tires were about wore out when this happened so maybe a new set of shoes would have brought a different outcome.
I wonder if that bud has enough power to pull Rosie o Donnell on a snow sled?
Maybe if you drop in a Cat 3408...
How come you don't seed with the newest big bud? or is it awaiting a restoration? Also looks like you need duals on the one
+Alistair Pethick We like to put time on the other two as they are cheaper to run. That 525/50 has a very expensive transmission and we try not to put extra hours on it.
Welker Farms Inc makes sense. we farm with Steigers a Cr1225, Kp1400 anda case ih 9180. good tractors no big bud though.
Very nice machines:)
no smoke no poke
well ok...I'm gonna name my tractor "Pig Pud"!
Great name!
Do big buds always roll coal when you give it gas
Favorite
power power the big bud :)
They're great!
Very good
Thanks!
new need to change the header to stuck tractors and more. Then you'll get another million hits those seem to be the most popular videos on RUclips in this genre
I don't think that last part was awesome 😂 think of the dozer work to fill in the hole and amount of pressure washing on the tractor to get it clean again 😂
You've been in this situation before I can see haha. Fortunately that spot was directly below a reservoir and tends to be muddy, so we farmed around the whole for a bit. But I did eventually run over with a loader and burred the hole!
i sat in one back in 1980.so big.
omg! look at this smoke! greenpeace crying.
We cause a lot of emotional distress in the lives of green peace!
great video mate, but why is it when you give the big bud some throttle, that black smoke comes out from the exhaust for a few seconds? it doesn't look too healthy for the tractors
There are a few reasons for this. These engines are older and use mechanical injection systems so when you throttle up there is no computer to regulate the fuel along with boost which over fuels the cylinders letting out black smoke. Another reason is our 525/50 Bud is tuned up to over 600 hp so it naturally smokes more with the increased power. It is the same concept as those diesel tractor pull competitions, they look like locomotives! White and blue smoke are concerning though.
Thats actually explains a whole lot more! they are big old tractors with plenty of horses underneath that huge bonnet.
modelfarmer fs honestly trucks or tractors that do this are cool gives them the pissed off feel not like todays deiesls that barely throw black sut :)
lol i was just about to ask what happens with the 525 gets stuck
We try not to get her stuck....often haha
