Big Bud, World’s Largest Tractor At 70,000 Pounds, Is Back After…
A legendary piece of giant farming equipment, the 70,000-pound (135,000-pound fully ballasted) Big Bud tractor, is being built again after 40-year…cowboystatedaily.com
Awww, that c-18 won’t drink that much more fuel than the old 3406’s/n14’s/ddec1 60 series unless some meathead dropped a marine flash file into it.
I visited a farm in Kansas while pheasant hunting back in the 80s that had one of these. The farmer that owned it told me he farmed over 1 million acres in the area. Said he could hook up enough disc plows to cover a section in 8 passes. When it came time to plow they would go out and take down any fences that might be there and when they started, they didn't stop. They would plow right on across the county roads to the next section.When you get em really stuck this one’s back!

I don't know, all the Cat Challenger series tractors and combines guzzle it compared to the JD and IH and Gleaners. Lots other variables there too though.
On a section that's 660' per pass, 220y...... I'm thinking he was drinking while sharing his story lol. It takes around 430-500hp to reasonably pull a 58'-60' cultivator depending on what size sweeps are being used. I would guess an 80' or 90' cultivator would be the biggest 750-900hp in the Budds of the 1980's could pull, disk plows are even heavier and would have to be smaller. Probably no more than a 20-25 bottom plow if anyone made one that big. Farm diesel was around 20-30 cents/gal then too lol. I've only seen one in person, huge machines.
Well sir, it says your idle time is XX%
damm bet he had nice toys
What do I know about farming. The wheels were 2' taller than I was. It sounded believable to me.
