Big Iron Part 2, DVD, More big and powerful farm-machinery in USA and in Europe

More American and European Big Iron. Rubber track machines challenge the big 4WD tractors. We also take a look at the production lines of some of the worlds largest tractor manufacturers.

Those covered include:

The Challenger - pioneer on rubber sole, in the mid 1980s Caterpillar looked at developing an articulated tractor to get back into the ag tractor market, but the engineers set their sights on the rubber track system
Big Roy - the Canadian Colossus, 600 hp is needed to move the 25.7 tons 4-axle Versatile 1080 prototype
From Steiger No. 1 to the Quadtrac
Bima - the French Giant, the Bidon brothers developed their revolutionary articulated hydrostatic drive tractor as early as 1983 with models ranging from 300 to 440 engine hp
Powerful - the Schülter 5000 TVL, powered by a V12 MAN motor with 500 hp
John Deere - "big green", both articulated and rubber tracked machines up to 450 hp
