Hi, Marc. You're way too late with at least two of your 'future projects', Mate.

The Big Bud 747 was an articulated 4 wd farm tractor that started off at, I think, 760 hp in 1977 and several years on was boosted to 900 hp. It has now been retired and restored and sits out in front of the factory where it was built in Havre, Montana. (Check the link below.)

An Australian manufacturer, Upton's, was making 2 wd tractors as big as 350 hp in the late 70's and early 80's. These tractors reportedly regularly out-pulled larger 4 wd tractors of the time. You can read more about the Upton tractors at:

About the other types of machine you mention, I have no idea.

Hope this helps.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Give me 40 acres, and I'll turn this thing around!

There are already 800 horse self propelled forage harvesters and combines near 450 horse.

The latest Claas Lexion 580 combine has a 512 hp engine and cutterbars are available up to 9 metres. ( 30 feet). Apparently there are even bigger ones in the pipeline.
