Oh, the third of production period.
Because I was surprised when you said the hydraulic capacity is what was needed. I know air drills take a lot of that. I didn't figure an older tractor would have... Hydraulic capacities.
Engine transmission replaced within about six hours.
Yeah, they do look cool. They do look cool. I didn't understand the ease to work on it like that. It makes sense.
Three. Yeah, three currently.
So that's Big Brute.
That's a whole other story. Okay. Well, let's get into it. Well, so Big Brute. So we farm, obviously, pretty low cost per acre. So we try to keep our costs down. And we were running a pull-type sprayer behind a Magnum.
89 40 and we wanted to build our own sprayer because we knew we could do it cheap and we were trying to find what platform are we going to put this on and we have some friends that ran Tyler I don't know if you know Tyler spreaders yeah and so they have the Tylers which eventually became Case Titans and they said you need to get one of these Tylers they're built like a tank big box frames we've got a 2500 gallon sprayer running right now at the time they had one of the biggest sprayers in the world you know about 20 years ago 2500 gallons 100 foot boom and
But, you know, Allison transmission, Cummins engine, Cat engine, whatever it may be, run big acres. We don't really care about footprint in that we're not row cropping. We can drive over stuff. It's a big fat tire. So we found ourselves a 2001 FLX 4375 Titan, I think is what it was. Case, yep. Yep, with low hours on it. Should have been left in the coolie. Yeah, it was thrashed.
The rust had seen its day of fertilizer spreading, but we cleaned it up. There's the video on it. And we basically... took a New Holland S1070 pull-type sprayer, chopped it up, put it on the back of it, and we're like, this thing looks hideous in the front. Absolutely terrible front end on it. Like, I wonder if we could make it look like a Big Bud. That'd be kind of fun.
So he calls Ron Harmon, who's the current, he's like the grandfather of Big Bud, currently running it. So... Ron's like, I think I got an old butt out in the back there. You guys can take the hood off of it. It was an old butt that was sitting next to the ocean down by Texas, and it had rusted the whole thing up. But the hood, it was actually, it had rust, but it looked okay.
So we went down to the trailer.
This is not right. I don't like doing this.
So we put it on the front of it, and then we built our own fenders. So that looks like a big bud from the front, but it's really a Titan floater truck.
Oh, yeah, we put it in a tractor pull.
It did a full pull, but then the second time, yeah, it popped the axle shaft. It dropped the gear, and when it dropped, it dropped the drive shaft. It did pull the farthest. $1,500 later. Wow. That's the cost of tractor pulls, I guess.
No. Our local fair has been diminishing year after year, and they do occasionally bring in a local puller. I mean, a couple guys come in, but it's just not big enough to do anything. But we've driven our big buds down there and hooked on and pulled the sled around. Now anymore, it doesn't happen very often. Sounds like fun. Yeah, it's kind of cool.
It's cool to hear that you guys are innovating. You're doing it the farmer way. No, no, no, no, no. Let me rephrase that. We're glutton for punishment. One of your most recent videos was you're bending a draper back, the frame of a draper back out. Like four people sent that to me.
It was from near here.
No wonder it smelled like corn. I was wondering what was going on.
