It's good to see that 650/50 still getting dirt turned over. Funny story, that particular Big Bud used to be on a dryland grain farm in NE Colorado several years back - a farm I used to work at, and used to run tillage with that Bud. Most often I ran it with a 64' field chisel behind it, which it pulled like it really wasn't even there. The farm used to run it with a 82' Friggstad behind it as well; it'd cover roughly an acre a minute with that rig. That machine is an absolute beast, always has been. Glad to see the current owner has treated her well.
Okay, I believe it was also the John Deere dealer in Upper Sandusky that sold Big Bud back in the day. There was also a few dealers back then that sold Steiger and Versatile.
Hello everyone good vidéo mike I am from Alsace and when I was in the US in 2019 I was and frankly I recommend this event it is a great moment I love old tractors and especially old American tractors the small ones but especially the big buds the sounds of these tractors are just magnificent limit if I don't tell myself stop I have to go home to France I won't leave anymore the m rites will always impress especially the 750 and the detroit diesels too
Awesome video thanks for sharing, this makes me want to attend this event. Amazing to see, how far plowing, tractors and equipment have come. This video really puts it in perspective.
Wow! Amazing Machinery, Great Video Mike!! Thank You for the trip down memory lane. I've been away from the farming industry for nearly 20 years. Turning a furrow is something that I miss. I'm kinda partial to the A/C Orange myself, I used to run an A/C 180 with a 4x14 John Deere plow. Your video was also educational. I've seen the single furrow plows used one the IH 140, but never saw them hooked up now I understand. Thanks again. Mike Less - Farmhand Mike Reply
Fantastic footage of some great ploughs & tractors by Mike Less once again. Alvordton puts on a lovely display of the ploughman's art (the ploughshares were mostly set correct and the sod was turned clean over.)
I've heard, many years ago a guy pulling one of those blue plows did it at the Farm Progress show. Pulled out and went around. He had a Detroit too! Yea, you don't see it very often!
This is the same plow that was at the 1978 Farm Progress Show. I believe it was pulled with a Steiger Tiger and as far as I know only one 21 bottom was ever built.
Holly molly, plowing in USA today...i was thinking that plowing is dead in USA, and only in EU we still use plows...great video with this awesome BB tractors
Interesting that I can't recall seeing a reversible plough on your content Mike. It does take twice the metal and weighs more but obviously not taken on in your farming systems. Ploughs are going out of fashion but in England it is all reversible, start one side of a field and work across with no ridges or open furrows. Time running on the headlands must add up , how wide before they open another cut?
Great video bud, man with chem resistance on the rise plows WILL be getting popular again, would love to see a Gregoire Besson roll over plow on that Earthquake tractor, i know they make a 24 bottom
Hey mike, I live in central North Dakota and we just started wheat harvest, we run two 2022 gleaner s97 combines with a 1050 demco grain cart pulled by a case magnum you should come up and video
Very impressive! Thank you for bringing this to us. Biggest plows in my area that were common when we plowed were 9 & 10...maybe a 12. Never seen 16-21 bottoms...HUGE!!
A lot of times, it’s seniors from what I’ve seen at an event that I went to and other RU-vid videos. At Renner’s 100 years of horsepower in 2022, over 200 acres were covered in 80 degrees Fahrenheit plus temperature. You almost need an ATV at that point.
Now the only tractor and Plow that is MISSING IS RED BIBS BILL'S 3588 AND THE WHENEVER PLOW !!!! A COUPLE MORE DAYS AND IT WILL BE READY TO TURN SOME DIRT ❤😊😊😊
Wow a 21 bottom plow.18,16, never thought I would see this in a single video. That was a cool shot of the one bottom plow. 👌 I don't know why seeing plowing for me is enjoyable, maybe it is the way you cover it or is it seeing tractors working at max power. Happy subscriber 😊!
I'm pretty sure every tractor was driven here. Not sure why some people are thinking these tractors were hauled in from out west? I know there is several Big Buds in Ohio. The Rite tractor also belongs to a farm in Ohio.
Absolutely love watching those big iron tractors but now the smaller ones are just a neat little addition to the video. My dad and I used to plow alongside the neighbors all the time when we all raised corn and would pass them in the field too lol
Great video I have always loved Bid Bud tractors. I also like the other tractors . That guy on the JD lawnmower plowing with the big tractors had of courage ! I would like to see the 747 Bud . It would not take long for them to plow your garden.🚜🚜🚜👍
It would be interesting to see if a modern articulate tractor like a 9rx or Quad Trac would pull that 21 bottom plow. I'd imagine it would but definitely be neat to see.

Every you tuber for 500 miles must have been there. So far I’ve seen 5 of them post shorts about all of those big tractors in last 24 hours. Yours was first & best content
