Big Bud Tractors pulling 21 and 18 bottom plows in Ohio
#tractorvideo #bigtractor #bigbud #plowing #farmvideo
Video of a Big Bud 650/50 tractor pulling a DMI 21 bottom moldboard plow in the same field as another Big Bud 525/50 tractor pulling an 18 bottom Wil-Rich plow in Northwest Ohio
This was at a plow day in July 2018 near the town of Aldvorton Ohio.

The replica Case 150 steam traction engine originally designed in 1904, has pulled a 44 bottom plow. It produces 150 horses power at 300 rpm, has two forward gears, is 2wd, capable of pulling 50 tons up a 10 percent grade and will climb a 40 percent grade unloaded. The flywheel weights 1400 pounds and the two drive wheels wheels each weighed over 6,400 pounds. Great grandpa had extremely powerful machines too.

Far too big for the UK roads and anything much over an 8 or so furrow plough I don't think has ever been used over here. Out of interest how many 'Big Buds' were built in total of all models, - or was it one basic model with different engine sizes and does anyone know what they cost when new.

@@jamesbarbour8400 the guy running the bigbud 747 does not have enough experience to keep the front furrow wheel of the plow in the furrow,, when all tractor tires are "on land" That is called an "on land " plow "in furrow" plows you run one side of the tractor tires in the furrow, in furrow plows require very little time to learn to run, on land plows it usually takes a good couple of 8hr days to learn your proper tractor/furrow wheel placement without the need to even look at where the furrow wheel is.

Awesome vid. Been looking to find a good video showing the DMI plow, we had a 12 bottom and it wasn't like our other plows, it was a monster. Did you notice any difference in size or quality, I know maybe hard to tell, but from my understanding the DMI's were known for being "over-engineered", ie...really heavy build. Usually needed to use a Stieger to pull it just for the extra weight that Stiegers carried compared to a 4wd Allis or whatever, traction was an issue depending on setup, perhaps the tractor was just too small.

Great footage and narrative... Thank You!! The Big Bud 650/50 is powered by a 12V92, which - like the 12V53 and the big 12V149, is Not a "true V12 - and is of modular construction utilizing 2 - 6V92's mated together with full redundancies except for the one governor (unless they were DDEC's), and they do Not sound like a V12 at all due to the fact that they are, siamesed V6's with their redundant V6 firing orders. The only "true" V12 from DD was the Series 71 - V12 which was "clean-sheeted" from the beginning as a V12 and utilizing two different V12 firing orders, depending on the configuration (left or right hand rotation, primarily.. but Not always) and application..... just some FYI trivia for you. PS; I did not "copy" this info from "wikipedia" or anywhere else. I have a 4 year degree in Diesel Engine Design & Theory, specializing in 2 cycle.... which was a required prerequisite to Research & Development (aka, R&D), along with a minimum 3 year degree in Mechanical Engineering (ME). This was from the mid-1960s and I, personally.. studied under and was tutored & "sponsored" (two summers at one of DD's training centers) by P. Nicholas who had not only just retired from R&D at GM Diesel (aka, Detroit Diesel), but was also one of the leading design engineers of the very first 2 cycle GM Diesel (a 4-71) prototype. I have a framed black & white 8x10" photo taken in 1937, just moments after the initial fire-up, with himself, "Boss" (Charles) Kettering and one other R&D engineer, whom I've forgotten his name at the moment, standing by the engine on the Dyno... that he gifted to me, after my return home after my last "tour" in VN. in late 1970.

Anyway, thanks again... and yes, the exhaust report of the 12-71 is wonderful "music" to all those who at least appreciate the sound. As for the power, especially the torque output.... 99% of what you read on the internet, regarding that subject... is nothing short of 100% Ignorance. They have absolutely no understanding of how efficient these engines really were and still are.... utilizing such a very short usable power stroke travel, compared to all the 4 cycles that these "keyboard experts" seem to like to compare them to.

It is a pain and waste of time. Plus you will use a bunch of fuel usimg these things, not to mention dreaded plow pan left in the subsoil which requires deep rippling after here in the high clay Red River Valley. And if you got rocks like we did, you will break stuff, sprimgs or not.
