IOG SALTEX exhibitor Cleveland Sitesafe is bringing the largest tractor outside of the USA to this year’s show (September 6-8, Windsor Racecourse, Berks), a 27-tonnes 650/50 Big Bud originally made in Montana over 30 years ago.
Mike Scaiffe, Managing Director of Cleveland Sitesafe and a fervent supporter of the annual open space exhibition, spent up to 24 months restoring the giant vehicle originally used in the construction industry, and now officially recognised as the UK’s largest and most powerful tractor.
It has a six-cylinder Cummins KTA-19 650 HP engine and Allison Twin Disc TD..92-2610 transmission.
The 650/50 Big Bud will be on display at IOG SALTEX’s South entrance throughout the three days, complementing Cleveland Sitesafe’s display of highly-secure, all-steel café/kiosk, groundsman’s stores and chemical storage solutions.
IOG SALTEX 2011 (www.iogsaltex.co.uk) will be held on September 6-8 at Windsor Racecourse, Berks, and will embrace fine turf and sports surfaces, turf maintenance equipment, children’s outdoor play and safety surfacing, landscaping, contractors, commercial vehicles, outdoor leisure and facilities management, as well as software and security equipment. The show is attended by open space management professionals and contractors – from groundsmen and greenkeepers through to play officers, architects, designers and surveyors as well as local authority and outdoor leisure facility managers.
