Worlds Largest Tractor is Montana Bound

can anybody guess what tractor i am sitting in right now when you're running combine and have that view over there that's just pretty awesome that's almost as awesome as watching that mike west guy on youtube that is one good looking tractor and grain cart hey everyone it's farmhand mike here and one last video from the virtual farm progress show in boone iowa i had no idea this beast of a tractor was even going to be here it was scheduled to be at the farm progress show before the show was canceled and it was going to be parked on titan's lot but with the show being canceled and just running the virtual i had no idea so this was pretty awesome to see i was actually just getting ready to do my field demo with the versatile delta track and the high speed disc i was in the cab and this thing went right by the tractor i was setting in so i was able to jump out get that opening shot of it coming in on a semi trailer and this is just spectacular they wasted no time getting the doors on that day and they parked the tractor in the barn and the next morning which is right now they had this tractor they backed it out of the barn i seen it back another barn i got the drone up got this nice shot of it rolling out to the field they took it out to the field and they parked it there and uh for everybody or the few people that were at the show to see it and you're gonna see those shots i got to climb up in the cab and check it all out and everything so it's pretty awesome and at the end of this video they were loading this thing back up and they took the doors off i got footage of all that now there's been several videos going around social media and so forth of this tractor this just got new tires put on it in july here and it got these uh titan lsw tires which are 1400-30 r46 tires and this tractor is right now it's just under 26 feet wide i'll give you some quick specs on this tractor i don't claim to be an expert on it but there's plenty of good information about this tractor on the internet this tractor was built in haver montana at the big bud factory back in 1977 and it looks like it went out to california first to a farm and then it went to florida for a farm where it was used for deep ripping there and then it went back to montana to robert and randy williams in big sandy montana just about 60 miles from the factory where it was built they were actually here at the show and i got to talk to them so that was pretty interesting they had the tractor at their farm for a while and then the tractor got moved to iowa it was in a museum up until just july here when it got these new tires on it here at the show when it gets loaded back up it's supposed to go back to montana and it's supposed to go back in the field now as far as i know this is the world's largest farm tractor from the specs i looked at when this tractor has got these tires on it the doors on it and everything and is full of fuel which it does have a thousand gallon fuel tank capacity i'm told this tractor weighs in around 135 000 pounds this tractor has a 16 cylinder detroit diesel engine in it and originally started out uh not quite this high i think it was like 700 and some horsepower originally it got bumped up and i'm now told this tractor is 1100 horsepower they also now make a 164th replica toy of this that is very high detail costs around 130 bucks i think i was able to get two of them here i didn't quite pay that i won't tell you what i paid for it i think i got a deal but uh i do have that and i got a picture of that at the end of the video as well but i'm pretty sure you can get on any toy tractor site and find it and order yourself one of those toys it was definitely pretty awesome to get to see this in person get the scent in it and so forth i may get to see it again as i do get out to montana once in a while who knows i don't know how much they're going to use this maybe it'll go back in the museum i'm really not sure anyhow i got a little over 16 minutes of video here got a little bit more from the sky here look at it i'm going to walk around it with the gopro climb up in the cab and then towards the last half of the video you're going to see them back it up on the trailer and remove the dual tires where it is going to be back to montana actually as i'm editing this video it's already back in montana and i'm pretty sure i saw a clip that it is already working in the fields [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and how about that think they'll ever make a tractor this big again someday things keep getting bigger and bigger so who knows [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] look at that big dash and all those gauges the hour meter said 2211 hours i don't know if that's correct or not but if it is it's barely broken [Music] [Applause] [Applause] huh the microphone on my camera and this tractor did not seem to get along this tractor sounded mean of course i didn't know i was having microphone problems with this tractor until i'm editing this video then so [Music] [Music] no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no now [Music] dude [Applause] okay [Applause] [Music] oh yeah hey buddy you're on my turf oh wait we're on our turn [Music] [Music] and here's a few aerial shots i took just to put this whole thing in perspective of this tractor sitting on the trailer it would be pretty neat to be going down the interstate and pass this bad boy [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and that's gonna do it for this video this is the last video i shot here at the virtual farm progress show too if you've not seen my others you can go back and
