Title: New Big Buds
Post by: highland512 on January 18, 2023, 11:01:58 AM

Anyone who has ever watched any tractor video's on the youtube has probably seen a Big Bud. These hand built high HP tractors stopped production in 1991. Now it looks like they are making a come back, if what is talked about in this article is true (right to repair, cat parts, power, weight, etc) I bet they will have a winner on their hands, especially with heavy dirt movers in the construction industry.

it will still have to meet the EPA emissions standards and from what I gather the emissions is where a majority of Cats problems are.

Wonder what the price tag will look like.  :-\

I might know where a few C18's that have been stripped of its government requirements and retuned are working. All I can say wow  :97:. Its quite the feeling to lean into power pedal and feel the drive tires slipping.
