Ron Harmon, owner of Big Equipment said, “The big story of the day about the new Big Bud is the customer will have full accessibility to all major drive components and they are not prevented from fixing the tractor or working on replacing parts on the unit.”
Ron Harmon, Big Equipment in Havre, Mont., is building the Big Bud for farmers with heavy Caterpillar components. The big story of the tractor is it will be owned completely by the customer and the customer can fix it himself or with the help of a truck mechanic. All the components slide out on a skid steer system in about three hours or so. Since the parts are mostly generic, it will be less costly to overhaul and repair the tractor and parts can be found all over the world at regular truck parts stores.
