Supposedly north of 700 hp you don't need to meet tier 4 emissions. JD's 18 liter engine which is rated over 700 hp doesn't use def
There is a company called big bud that used to make big tractors in Montana and went bankrupt. They were going to be making a comeback and tractor's were going to be made in Georgia. I was kind of following what they were doing because the new tractors were going to be designed so farmer could fix and maintain himself on farm. Part of the appeal was we thought going to be emissions exempt because of size but apparently major investor pulled out and tractor is dead idea again.
