Built by Curtis brothers, must be between 700 and 750hp. They were Wagner dealers in Montana and a customer asked them to build a tractor. Their range incompassed 300 to 800 hp. Seems if you want one they will build one today for you. Total production of company is 35 tractors so far! Their 750 hp one could be opened up to 900hp, could this be potentially the biggest tractor, out doing the Big Bud? The bok Ultimate Tractor Power by Peter Simpson has all the details, a good read. Available from www.classictractors.co.uk along with many other great books. |

The Rite was built in Great Falls, Montana at one time. I don't know exactly what the history is, but it is somewhat like the Big Bud story though not the same company. I think Curtis was farmer from Dutton using Wagners and later rebuilt or repowered Wagners. After that, Curtis "Rite" tractor built their own tractors. A friend showed me a pic of a 600 hp Rite which was sold to the Peace River area of northern Alberta. They were built during the same era as Big Buds and in the same area as the Havre and Great Falls are only about 120 miles apart in what is truly "Big Sky Country" as the area is commonly referred to.
