Just watched Scott Welker using their Big Bud lawn tractor to work in some composted manure. The tilling machine looked a little bigger than the one you were showing. You know lawn equipment, you got have the right tool for those big jobs! Nice video Mike!
Some folks don't know that there different size chisel shanks like Graham-Hoeme had 3 sizes 22" low depth lite trash, 28" med depth more trash 36" high depth high trash we used the 36" in rice country i can remember pulling a 12 foot 3 point with 7 shanks you had to stay on you toes all the time because if sucked under you was looking at the clouds in a second
I worked for three farmers had gram home chisel plows. Two were lever lift no hydraulics. Most were converted later in their life. One bad thing about them the shanks were bent in rocks very easily. Had to shim the sweeps to run level on the shanks until they needed to be bent back closr to original shape.
Starting sometime in the 80ds manufactures started to use chisel plow shanks to the tighter 8” spacing from the normal 12” With the 8” spacing, it becomes a seeding tool!
I don't know why, but i like Big Bud HN-series tractors are best looking 4wd tractors ever made, maybe it's that shape and that clean look with white colour 🤔
@farmhandmike the keystone shaped cab on the John Deere WA-17 (that Wagner built for JD) is very Big Bud like. When John Deere bought out Wagner, a Wagner sales representative (out of a job) set up Big Equipment in Havre, MT and Big Bud was born
How old is that Melroe Chisel? I worked for a farmer in the early 70's pulling a 16 or 18 foot chisel plow behind a D6. He called it a "Graham Holm plow" have you ever heard of that brand? It had no hydraulics just two long leavers to raise and lower it.
I noticed that on one shot you showed that there were some sweeps on the back of the tractor. Was the Melroe / Gysler Chisel plow using sweeps or spikes (chisels) for cultivation? Shortly after Gysler was purchased by Melroe Mr. Gysler started a stamping plant in Chester MT to manufacture various sizes of sweeps back in the late 70's
Nomenclature for innumerable things, from soft drinks to medical research, varies widely across northern America. Agriculture is no different, which is why the irony of those who say, falsely, that you don't know what you're talking about when it's so overt that you do, is so incredibly amusing. This irony is going to be entirely lost on those idiots though, unfortunately, or maybe they'd learn something.

Mike I thought they no tilled with air seeders are they changing the crop or working on compaction great video
How do you irrigate your all crops during summers and winter
I thought this was the welkers when i first saw it.
If John Deere hadn't screwed over Wagner, then we would never have had Big Bud.
Didn’t know that?

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know anything about these.
Heavy metal!
Sure is dry there !
Have you any new information about the 2024 big bud? Thank you for the videos.
I do not
Do folks ever put GPS systems in older tractors like this Big Bud?
Yes
Is there a danger of soil erosion on this land with such open country with the wind ?
😎😎
Was the wind blowing, Mike? lol
I’m thinking it was on this very day
wth... there's no dome on the top of the cab.
How many hrs on the big bud
I bet a ton...even 200 per year, which I'm sure is way low would be over 8000 hours
I can do without Harris's campaign ad lies
I have no control of the adds that run on my videos. I don’t want to see them on my videos either
