I heard the big bud HN 250 is nearly a copy of the Wagner wa-17, only beefed up. This is supposedly due to Wagner engineers forming big bud

@bigtractorpower 4 жыл бұрын

Big Bud was started by William Hensler the largest Wagner dealer in the United States. With Wagner out of the tractor market in 1969, Hensler worked with his shop Forman Bud Nelson to build a new 4wd. That new 4wd was the Big Bud HN-250. “Big Bud” Nelson built the tractor and HN stands for Hensler Nelson 250 hp.

Want to do them in 1/24 since most of my models are that and 1/25.
