Biggest Big Bud Comes to Penfield

The famous Big Bud 16V-747 is coming to Penfield for Historic Farm Days 2009. Checking in at 900 horsepower, the behemoth will be on display at Historic Farm Days this coming summer. The one of a kind tractor was custom built for deep ripping on a California cotton farm, and later sold to a grower in florida who also used it for deep ripping before retiring it. The Williams Brothers of Big Sandy, Montana acquired the tractor and it now resides about 40 miles from where it was built.

Later in August 2009, fans of the world's most powerful tractor will get a chance to see her in action at Half Century Of Progress IV at the Rantoul National Aviation Center in Rantoul, Illinois. A special plow rig of at least 24 bottoms will be assembled to give the big tractor something to play with.

Special arrangements have been made with the Williams Brothers of Big Sandy, Montana to make this appearance possible.
