Big Bud built many tractors of varying sizes (all four wheel drive) in the 1970's in Havre, Montana. The big one was the 16V-747, built in 1978, it is the worlds largest production tractor. It has a 16 cylinder twin turbocharged and aftercooled 4500 lb Detroit Diesel. It has the worlds largest injectors. The engine is 1472 cu. in.(24.14 liters) that creates 760 hp and 2372 lb. ft. of torque at 1400 RPM. The Williams Bros. have it turned up to 900 hp.The engine is attached to a twin disc, clutch free, powershift transmission built by Allison. THe cab had Air, heating, fron and rear winshield wipers, tinted windows, adjustable swivel bucket seat, Am/FM 8-track stereo, 40-channel CB, decelerator pedal, insulation, buddy seat, and toolbox. Options included a rear view closed circuit TV scanner, tractor performance monitor, and refrigerator. It weighed 130,000 lb field weight, and had a 1000 gallon fuel tank. wheel base was 16' 3", height was 14', length to end of drawbar was 28' 6", and the width with 35x38 duals was 20' 10". The Williams Bros. pull an 80 foot chisel plow at speed of about 7 mph covering 1 acre a minute. This machine is very big and very fascinating. You can purchase a movie and book about it from Classic Tractor Fever. Hopes this is interesting, sorry its so long.
