Emerson Brantingham BIG 4 Model 30 gas traction tractor... in the wild. Thought you may enjoy seeing this picture as much as we did.

This is a photo of the actual photograph hanging on the wall of the machinist who owns one of these critters... and is working on another. He also has the Hastings EB at his shop right now.

I believe that there are 23 existing tractors of this make and model... and we got to see three of them on Monday! Man these are monstrous machines. I have more pics and will post some of them one of these days.

Really neat old tractorsThis is my friend's 1916 EB Big4 '20'.As I've been told,there are 26 EB running today.This 20 makes #27.Weighs about 15,000lbs;1000 Cubic inch,800RPM full throttle.This tractor is shown at many local shows. Always a crowd pleaser.And yes,I even got to drive it. What a beast!BTW,There is an EB30 at Monticello Utah that is owned and restored by the local tractor club.

There's been a photo of a train load of these posted here in the past, did a search on the web and was not able to find it.
 
Delta Red,

These are fantastic photos. I remember when you posted them a couple years ago - those photos were the first EB we ever laid eyes on... never seen one at a show.

I love that it's rusty. I guess the ones that we saw will get painted. :(

I think Emerson Brantingham will be featured at the Hastings, MN show... either next year or the year after (I don't remember which one).

Thanks for posting.
