Tillage of 1.3 acres per minute!

The engine is a 2 stroke EMD locomotive engine, although a very low HP version.

Correction: Apparently, it's a 16V92, rather than a 16V710.

There is information to both effects on the net.

WIKI SAYS IT WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS a 50 plow tractor (old phart farmer style)

If someone gave it to me for Free I probably couldn't afford to get it hauled home.

It was at the 1/2 century progress show in Rantoul, Illinois several years ago when I saw it. Pretty awesome machine. There are several you tube videos of the tractor that are quite interesting.

I'm not even going to show this to Rosie (my 8n). She might get "ideas".

Show it to the wife and tell her that's the one you're thinking of buying. After that she ought to think another N is cheap!

I spent a summer breaking sod in the late seventies with a big bud kt450. It was a summer job on a dryland farm in southeastern Mt. It was about half the size of the 747, but it was still pretty darn big. It was a comfortable machine as long as everything worked on it.. One thing I really liked was it had a TA that you could step on when you turned around. It would cut the speed in half , keep pulling and give you time to wheel.that monster around .
