World’s Largest Agricultural Tractor to be Displayed at Kalispell

World’s Largest Agricultural Tractor to be Displayed at Kalispell It is 14 feet tall, with a capacity of 1,000 gallons of fuel, and can cover an acre and a half in under a minute. Its eight 8-foot-tall tires alone weigh as much as a regular farm tractor at 36,000 pounds. The Big Bud 747 is the world's largest agricultural tractor, and it's on its way to Kalispell. The Guiness World Record holder for the largest farm tractor, owned by Robert and Randy Williams of Big Sandy, will be on display at the Flathead County Fairgrounds Trade Center Building July 2-5 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. “My Kalispell-based daughters, Lisa and Mandy, wanted to do something positive for their town while also honoring their roots in the eastern region of Montana,” Robert Williams stated. “They believe it's fantastic that Big Bud was built in Montana and is a part of the state's farming history, and they want to tell everyone about it.” Big Bud, a 100,000-pound giant manufactured by Ron Harmon and the workers of the Northern Manufacturing Co. of Havre in 1977, was originally built for the cotton-farming Rossi brothers in Bakersfield, California, at a cost of $300,000. In 1997, the Williams brothers brought Big Bud home to work on their vast farm in Choteau County, less than 40 miles from where it was first made, after a stay at Willowbrook Farms in Indlantic, Florida
