The Big 4 featured on RFD Channel was found at a Misc. machinery lot on the east side of Somanauk IL. on rt. 34 and was restored and now resides in Plainfield Il. The big 4 used front axles from surplus Army 6x6 trucks and was steered Hydraulicaly. It used a Cummins JT 175 Engine and was capable of pulling a 6x14" Plow at a time era when a 3 x14" Plow was the normal size Plow on most farms. It was Farm built and never became a success as a commercial Venture however it did enspire the builders of the Big Bud series of Tractors and they were the giants of their times. The Big Bud 747 dwarfs The Deere,Versatile and Case/Ih and other Articulated, 4 Wheel Giants common to most large Farm operations of late.
