100 Years of Montana Farming! - Big Bud Tractors

Spring Seeding - 1:50
Spraying - 5:04
Harvest - 6:46

In celebration of 100 years of farming! Here is my dedication to our family business. My great Grandpa homesteaded in 1912 and after 100 years I am blessed to be able to continue his legacy! It took several months to film seeding, spraying, and harvest. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did making it!

Video edited with PowerDirector

We do run the legendary Big Bud tractors, and have three in total. The smallest Big Bud is the first generation with a 855 Cummins rated at 350hp(soon to be upgraded). The second is a Big Bud KT-450 with a 1150 Cummins rated at 450hp and finally the third is a third generation Big Bud 525 with the same 1150 Cummins engine rated at 600hp. Being the backbone of our farm, Big Buds have worked our ground over the last 30 years and we plan to keep them around as long as possible. Harvest consisted of three machines this year, two Case 2188 with 36ft drapers and an old John Deere 7700(now retired) with a 24ft header. All the video was filmed using a Gopro Hero and Hero 2, can't say enough about Gopro cameras, they made this all possible, only wish I had the Hero 3 when I started filming this spring. I used Cyberlink PowerDirector 10 for the first time and was very impressed by its performance as well as ease to use, I look forward to editing my next project.
