March/April 2017 Antique Power Available
/The March/April 2017 issue of Antique Power magazine will be available in subscriber mailboxes and on newsstands soon. Our cover tractor is a 1912 Big Four 30 owned by Kenny Kass. I enjoyed researching and writing about the history of the Big Four tractors and Kass' model.
The Big Four earned its name from the big, 4-cylinder engine that powered it. The Big Four 30's engine had a 6.5x8-inch bore and stroke and produced 30 drawbar horsepower and 60 horsepower at the belt. Capable of pulling several implements at a time, this prairie tractor was ideal for large farming operations.
