Big Bud

We started the long weekend by going to see Big Bud! In case you don't know Big Bud 747 is the world's largest tractor, and it is currently on display at Heartland Acres in Independence, IA.

We had a lot of fun walking around and admiring the size of this giant machine. Enjoy the pictures!
Yes, that's a camera on the back of the tractor...there is a "1977's" TV inside the cab (We were joking with the Q&A guy that if this was built again today, it would be a flat screen monitor and the camera would only be a couple inches big!)
You know you are special when your name is made into the tire
We didn't spend our entire time looking at Big Bud, we went to visit the animals...
pumped some water...
and sat on some antique tractors...
Until next time...

Looks like you guys had a fun trip! I love those big tractors...friends of ours in Switz Co used to travel internationally with theirs!
