    Big Bud tractors

    This was owned by a local field drainage company. Other Mi. members will probably recall it. To my knowledge it was repalced about 2 years ago with a track machine.

    It might not look that big all by itself.....if you ever saw it parked next to another tractor you would think otherwise.

    IIRC, it was powered by a KTA Cummins.

    Nice pics there, Bumpsteer

    Great Machines. I was lucky to see the two largest models (740) besides the 747, a 650/50, 525/50, 400/30, and an old KT-450, this summer.

    Not exactly up-to-date in the cab, but they work.
