Titan to feature Big Bud, Cole the Cornstar at Farm Progress 2021

QUINCY, Ill. — Titan International Inc. plans to "Go Big" with the world's largest tractor and Cole the Cornstar at this year's Farm Progress Show from Aug. 31-Sept. 2 in Decatur, Ill.

This year's event will feature Big Bud 747, the world's largest four-wheel drive tractor with the world's largest farm tires made by Titan. The 1,100 horsepower tractor was built in 1977 and is capable of farming three acres per minute. It is 27 feet long, 25 feet wide and 14 feet tall. Big Bud's owners, Robert and Randy Williams, of Big Sandy, Mont., as well as Ron Harmon, the original designer of Big Bud, will be in the booth from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 31.

Also, YouTube influencer Cole the Cornstar will be at the booth from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 1. Cole and Titan recently partnered on a three-part video series to upgrade his Case 340 Magnum tractor with Titan "Low Sidewall Technology Super Singles."

Titan also will showcase a variety of new products, including the new HK 458, an industry-unique hybrid wheel loader tire suited for the most extreme loader applications. The E-4/L-4 dual-rated bias tire combines the tread design of a forestry tire, a wheel loader tire and an ATV tire in one.

In addition, Titan will display its AgraEDGE tires, a new, cutting-edge, cost-competitive, full-line tire offering. The radial R-1W tire line is available in 17 of the most popular front and rear row crop MFWD tractor sizes — with a range of additional sizes being introduced over the course of the next year for 4WD tractors, combines and grain carts.

Titan also is partnering with Indiana FFA and Illinois FFA to host various fundraising activities for the FFA chapters.

"Titan has been a long-standing supporter of FFA and the impact it has on students," said Scott Sloan, Ag Product Manager at Titan. "We are proud to support FFA through various fundraising activities at Farm Progress this year."
