Big Bud, the brand everyone gathers behind. No matter what your favorite color is on your tractor.

Glad to see Big Bud is coming back what we need is simplicity and reliability something the average farmer can work on.Good luck Big Bud show the big manufacturers how it's done

we use old internationals. easy to work on

I love their vision, building equipment that's designed to be fixed and repaired without having to download software and license keys. My only concern is that the Big Bud is so big it's not practical for some farmers. I hope they build a version using the same concepts but smaller for smaller farms.

Thank you Ron Harmon for keeping the BIG BUD alive. These tractors are farmer user friendly with simplicity in there DNA. Shame I am not a millionaire I would give you full financial backing 100 percent. . I would be making these tractors for the future of our farmers who feed the world. Job well done Brian !!!!!!!!!

I love the idea of "easily accessible, off the shelf parts" and end user simplicity. So important to keep equipment serviceable whether in construction or farming. Nothing worse than a machine being down waiting for parts. Good interview.

Awesome! Now someone needs to do that with pickup trucks.

Using licensed mechanics and not dealers I think is a great way to go. Dealers are being forced into high dollar purchases in order to be a dealer in a brand and keeping it simple is the best way to do this. I think this is a brand that will grow big time over the next few years.

I love that they didn't make the design like all new farm tractors all rounded grills, curved down hoods etc. This looks straight out of the 70's or 80's. I collect the replicas, I hope they do a 1/16 of these new ones! I'm a southern Ohio collector, enjoy your information videos sir!

So glad to see Big Bud making a great comeback!

I'm no farmer but this seems like a sure fire hit once the BB tractors start rolling off the line. A tractor with the size, grunt, options, etc... of the established brands but with none of the restrictions and you can basically do whatever you want to them? That sounds like a license to print money to me :)

Very nice, powerful, capable and beautiful tractor! Finally a smart manufacturer actually making a tractor for the people and not to pacify the techno crowd. Common, easier to fix parts, no factory restrictions for repair, somebody finally listening, these will sell out very fast. You were right to tell the Deere rep no way for complicated bullsh^t. Excellent, informative video on a great new tractor built for real people and not moving toward robots and drone tractors. BRAVO. This manufacturer is really smart, knows what a real customer wants. You're not the only one cussing technology, it's being force fed to the population as a step closer to drones but most people don't see what they're all aiming for, which ain't good for us people. NOTHING wrong with simple if it does the job and does it well, actually better.

Fascinating stuff! Thanks for giving us some details…..like you always do!

Going with that Cat drivetrain is pretty incredible. It's not like there isn't any Cat dealerships around. Wonder if that is going to be a selling point in their network as well. Nice machine for sure.

Those c18 Cats a amazing motors! With the right parts and some tuning you can make well over 1000hp.

Best of luck to you guys hope you make the company successful, I know I want one and I don't even have a farm!
