Video: Versatile's Big Roy Tractor

Jul 13, 2016

Mike Less shot and posted this video on Youtube of the Big Roy tractor in Sanford Manitoba Canada. Big Roy was a concept tractor built by Versatile back in 1977. The tractor in the video was the only one ever built. It has recently been sitting the last many years at an agricultural museum in Manitoba Canada and was recently brought back to the Versatile factory and completely restored. The tractor had Firestone 30.5 x 32 tires on it. Firestone Tire had donated the 8 new tires that are on the tractor right now. Big Roy weighs in around 62,000 pounds. It is 8 wheel drive and powered by a Cummins KTA 1150 rated at around 600 horsepower. The tractor also had 3 seats in the cab and has a TV with a rear camera looking behind the tractor. Big Roy will be at some of the major Farm Shows in North America in the near future.
