I farm with 7 Olivers. 77 standard, 1650,1750,1850(MFWD),1950T,2050,and 2150. Love those Olivers!
Something to be said about classic iron and the farmers that run it. Great video.
It’s always fun finding tractors like this one to film.
@@bigtractorpower our neighbour has old Cockshutts and they don’t run often, but when he starts them up they have a specific sound that isn’t duplicated. Another has a bunch of old ACs and they still work hard, and a few are around just for parts.
We still run old red on our farm to this day, my father owns a 686 and 1086 and I just bought my first, a Farmall M, gotta love the old equipment in the fields
Great tractor right there! Glad to see we're not the only ones still putting them to work out in the fields. We use a 1755 with a canopy for planting. A 2255 2wd cab to do tillage. Along with many other Oliver models.
These are one of the coolest 2wd tractors ever made 😎
👍👍
My family ran Oliver tractors. We had 2 1850's and absolutely loved them. Our most used tractor had the fender fuel tanks, and 30 inch duals (totally overkill for our work). We had a hay operation with a New Idea 16' cutter conditioner, a New Holland hay inverter, a New Holland square baler, and a New Holland round baler. I'll never forget the sound of a Perkins diesel engine.
Very very cool. A dualed up 50 series is tough looking.
SOOO SWEET & PROUD!
Great video! Didn't even sound like the drill was working it.
The 2255 moves right along for sure. Always enjoy seeing your farm on TH-cam.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks!
My me happy to see this farmers using older tractors. Makes things seem normal and achievable
It’s always exciting for me to get to film a classic like this.
Now this is some true BIG TRACTOR POWER! Cool video. Love seeing an open station tractor and row markers still being used.
Gotta love the "natural" air conditioning 😂. It really is a cool planting setup. That Oliver is very well maintained.
when my granddad farmed (MF 135), he would put a parasol/sunshade over the seat.
This 2255 was a nice find to get to film hard at work.
You found a good one here. Like those Olivers.
This 2255 is a nice one.
Sigh......amazing how "state of the art" came to be "classic" in such a seemingly short time. ;-)
My favorite muscle tractor.
The 2255 is one of the greats of the early 70’s.
Wow! Wasn’t expecting my tractor to make a cameo when I started watching!
Getting ready for the 1/64 release 😁. I hope to get to feature your 2255 in a full video some day and your other great tractors.
Which one?
@@bigtractorpower Looking forward to it. Hopefully I’ll be able to move it up from mom and dads farm to mine this year and get to use it more regularly so we can get some footage
@@martingardener90 The red 2255
@@redironacres Very nice!
Fabulous video! My Father bought a 2255 w/cab & saddle tanks new in '74. He pulled a 5 bottom Oliver in-furrow plow, 26' Wil-Rich digger, and New Holland 790 silage chopper. She had some older sisters 660-narrow, 770-narrow, 880-wide, 1365, and 1855. She served for 31 years and retired to a collector in Iowa. Blue Earth County Mn
Another great classic tractor !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
We always had Oliver tractors the largest was 1850 with fender fuel tanks. This was awesome to see a 2255 in action and loved the drone shots. That was a real nice looking for its age. Thanks for showing Oliver.
I enjoy finding classics like this 2255 hard at work.
Beautiful tractor. Hello from Ireland.
What a beast. My favorite green.
👍👍
Dad had a 1650, his first and only diesel. Also had a 770 and a 660 and a couple 60s he didn't keep. Really liked working with those tractors. Great video Jason.
All nice Olivers. The 770 and 880
Have distinct look. The 1650 was a top selling Oliver.
Beautiful tractor!
😁👍
Father worked for a John Deere dealer in Greenwich,NY back in the 1970s that also sold Oliver farm equipment.Son abouts 1974 him & me jumped the pickup truck & went up to the shop one night after supper.In the shop sat a brand new 2255 with a cab & front wheel drive.Remember it was sold to Walker Brothers Farm in White Creek,NY
I have a Super 77 diesel that I use for odd jobs but it's primarily purpose is to run a PTO generator for the farm. Smooth running tractors. We were on generator for 12 days this year so between it and the 4020 I add about 280 hours on the tractors.
It's nice to see an oliver tractor out in the field😁👍
Stay tuned for an Oliver 1855 baling hay with a New Idea round baler.
My parents had a 550 Oliver on they’re farm. A great tractor we used it for a variety of jobs during hay season.
My grandad had a 550 diesel. First thing I learned to drive.
Now that’s a sweet rig.
It is a stand out. It was a good filming opportunity.
Is it their regular planting tractor or did it just come out for the camera?
I just came in from planning corn with my 75c Case IH two-wheel drive. It's openstation two post raps canopy and it feels pretty nice you can hear the planner you can see well and you don't have to worry about cleaning windows.
Nice tractor. Love those 4x4s the most. Another great Green tractor.
There is a short clip of a FWA 2255 in this video. The 2255 is a stand out. Thank you for watching.
Great tractor, thanks for sharing. You do a great job assembling these videos. We ran Oliver tractors on our small operation in the 70s and early 80s. Later, after being involved in management during the tech bubble meltdown of the early 2000s, I can only imagine what cutthroat tactics were used in the early 70s by Oliver and MM guys trying to keep a seat at the table. The company eye goes off the ball and the results are now ancient history.
Thx Jason... You can tell the tractor has been well maintained.. I baby my 784 international.
The 784 is a nice IH.
Awesome 2255! Great video as always!!!
The 2255 is a nice tractor for sure.
That is one very beautiful tractor is great seeing it working in the field
It was a nice one to get to feature.
Great looking tractor, and a nice set up with the No Till Drill
It is a nice seeding team.
@@bigtractorpower thanks for the history too!
Love the old olivers.
👍👍
My dream tractor since I was a little kid. We owned a 1755 which we bought in 1975 with 220 hours on it until our retirement sale in 2015. It had 6800 hours on it and was still a damn good tractor.
Very cool. The 1755 is my favorite Oliver. My neighbor growing up was all Oliver and Steiger. Today they are John Deere and Steiger. They ran a 1755 as well as a 1750, 1850, 880s and super 88s when I was a kid. They told me a few years ago they intended to buy a 2255 but wanted to see it first. When they got to the dealer the 2255 was sold and all that was on the lot was a 1755 so they ended up taking the 1755 home.
That’s a pretty kool rig
Nice lookin, sounding Oliver👍👍👍👍👍
The 2255 is a stand out.
Love the row markers on the drill. Dad thought they were ‘too expensive’ for our JD press wheel drills. 🙂
Good video good to see you again
I worked for a dairy farmer when I was a kid about a mile away from our family farm. His main tractor was an Oliver 1955.
Started farming just over 5 years ago now with an 1855, have another as well as a diesel 88 now
Best tractor Oliver ever made
😁👍
Nice drone work at the closing of the video. Like that overhead shot.
My new most favorite tractor.
👍👍👍👍
Good to see old iron out there still working
😁👍👍
Like seeing those older tractor. Drove couple Oliver's tractors for one neighbor
A 66 550 and 1650.
Great Olivers. The 66 Fleet Line tractor is a stand out. The 1650 was a very popular seller.
Glad you have added drone footage
It gives a nice a view of this classic.
We had an Oliver 1855. Was a good running tractor.
I have an 1855 video on the way round baling hay.
Just got a 2-105 white last week. going to put it to work on a 4 bottom plow and 13 foot disc working sod. Also picked up a cute little super 55 last year. It was bought new by my great great uncle and has been in the family since. With hay season approaching I'm excited to get the ole leakers out and working.
Very cool. The 2-105 is one of my favorite tractors. Is your 2-105 an early model with out headlights or a later model with headlights?
And that’s where your addiction began. Unless you end up getting something significantly newer, you’ll never want to work with another band again
Love these
Thank you for watching.
Sharp looking tractor
This was a fun tractor to film.
As a young guy in the dealership I was tasked with securing the advertising posters to the wall for the new Oliver 2255. Wow that 50 years ago already.
i was raised on those oliver tractors, the smallest we had was a 66 row crop and all the way up to a 1955 plus a 2-70 and 2-105 white
What a beautiful Oliver credit to the owner 👍
It’s always great to find an Oliver hard at work.
All the dust in the air 💨🤧 Fills you with respect for the hardiness of the farmers of old
Back when I worked for a farmer in Nebraska I ran a 2255 white I really miss farming
nice looking tractor
The 2255 is a stand out.
Man, that one is very sharp!
It was a great tractor to get to film.
Man I love seeing V8 tractors. Cool video. 👍🏻
I am a V8 fan. It’s always exciting to feature a V8 tractor.
@@bigtractorpower I bet! What makes them cool and exciting is that you don’t see them very often. I wish we had more V8 tractors.
My uncle in western Ky had a 1655 great tractor.
Very cool. Nice tractor. The Oliver dealer in Hopkinsville was H&R Equipment which is H&R Agri Power today selling Case IH and New Holland from the Gulf to Illinois.
Love it
Thank you for watching.
Excellent! My favorite brand. That one looks a bit faded toward John Deere green.
Good video.
Thank you Frank
Old school cool. Love these vids with the legends.
The 2255 is definitely a legend.
I love watching my neighbors 1950 with the Detroit. He uses it to bush hog and pull a 4 bottom plow. You can hear it from a mile away.
The Super 99 to the 1950 sure let you know where they are working.
Growing up dad had many Oliver tractors on the farm From a 60,70 ,77,88,880 550, 1650,1550 , 1855
What a great line up.
Top vídeo😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Hello! Old school set-up doing it's chores...
😁👍👍👍
@@bigtractorpower 👌
We don't use Oliver tractors, but my bosses use a John Deere 9220 4WD tractor with a quad transmission and a 36' John Deere 1860 Air Hoe with a John Deere Tow Between 1900 Air Cart with a front 120 bushel hopper and a back 150 bushel hopper to plant soybeans with. One of their kids used it to plant milo as well.
Very nice seeding team. The 9220 has a nice sounding growl to it.
Awesome ending shot with it turning around on the end row from straight above, very cool. Awesome pair as well with the grain drill, a good match for this machine.
It is a neat view seeing the path the tractor takes.
The 2255 later became the White 2-180 rated at 183hp. We had a series II 2-180 that made 208hp. on the dino.
I have filmed the 2-150, 2-135, 2-155 and 180. Unfortunately the 2-180 has eluded me so far. It is higher on my wish list of tractors to find.
I disagree. It became the 2-150 and 2-155 if anything. It’s true that the 2-180 has the 3208, but it’s in a different horsepower class entirely.
My dad worked in the Charles City Oliver and White farm tractor plant from 1959 till in closed in 80's. Odds are he had a hand in building that 2255.
Very cool. He saw some great machines over the years.
We have 6 tractors an Oliver 1850 , an Oliver 1600 ,a massy Ferguson 1085 a co-op e3 and 2 vac case tractors ....the 1850 is a wonderful tractor we bale with a John Deere 510 round baler but my favorite is the 1600 it is basically wore out needs a total overhaul but the girl fires right up and will work all day uses very little gas but enjoys it's oil all the guys around us figure it's a diesel lol
Nice tractor line up. The 1600/1650 seems to be one of the most popular and used Oliver tractors.
Wish that Oliver would have kept going!
It was a great brand. I like Oliver products allot. It is always great to get to film them and high light their history.
Certainly a great tractor. It would have been all the better if Oliver, Cockshutt, Minneapolis-Moline, Case, and International would have all stayed as separate companies. That would have been better for the farmer and better for the employees of these companies as well. In any case I once knew a guy whose father purchased an Oliver tractor. His father was a very satisfied customer.
think my favorite Oliver and the ONLY place them V8 CAT engines ran well and long other than excavators .
My son called Oliver lol 😆 😂 🤣
Very good name.
👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thank you.
Nice looking tractor. We also have a 2255 with fender fuel tanks and a 1755.
Very nice. The 1755 is my favorite Oliver.
Is it Henry Hills old one?
@@jacobbell1584 yes they are both his tractors.
So was that a parent-bore engine like the 3208?? If so that's why there's not many around anymore-- the 3208 was a disposable engine, because once the parent bore wore out, without replaceable liners or sleeves, the block was junk.
Neighbor I used to bale hay for had a 1755, good solid old tractor, I guess I should have tried to buy it after he passed on. Not sure what happened to it. Only thing I didn't like was it was gas-powered, and trying to run a gas-powered tractor now will put you in the poor house if you're actually doing any work with it.
That's a nice old tractor in the video... except the stupid straight pipe. Those are fine for parades but on a working tractor, well, I know a deaf operator LOL:) Course maybe she stays in the barn most of the time and they just put her to work drilling beans here for the cameras and to stretch her legs a bit. Guess a guy can go deaf to put up with that awhile.
Interesting stuff for sure... weighed double what our roughly the same vintage Ford 5200 row crop weighed, double the horsepower, and double the price (without options). Interesting stuff!
Hello Jacob My neighbor lol 😂
😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
How wide is that drill? That would be tough to move on a road. Hopefully all your land is contiguous.
It is 20ft wide.
About 70% of our ground all connects,
Nice movie!
Doesn't the Oliver have a yellow brother?
There was a Minneapolis-Moline G-1355 what used a 585 ci engine 6 cylinder engine. It was also sold as an Oliver G-1355. The G-1355 became the WFE 2-149 shown in this video.
If you wanna look it it that way, the G-1355 was the same tractor behind the engine
Farm next to ours, is a retired dairy farmer and he still has a 2255 oliver. I'd love to have it but he won't sell it
The 2255 is a neat tractor. I hope you get a chance to purchase one.
( Oliver 2255) How many times has the engine been overhauled ?.. How many hrs did it have on it, when the overhaul was done ?
I did not ask the farmer. Everything looked original on the engine.
It’s never been overhauled
@@jacobbell1584 .. WoW.. how many hrs ?
Didn’t look like he was using the over and under on the ends
Why is that arm down on one side of the bean planter?
That is a marker arm. The tractor follows the line it draws on the next pass to keep each pass matching the last one.
Marking the ground so he knows where he needs to be on the next pass.
LOL, answering the question as the big boss was.
That mark's the centerline of the tractor for the next pass in the field. The arm is called a marker it just cut's a line in the soil to follow visually so you don't overlap or skip the areas with the planter. That's why when he turn's at the end one side comes up and the other side goes down as he works across the field.
Not many creature comforts on that tractor!
Drove a old AC tractor raking hay back in the early 70s as a young teenager and it had only one front tire like a tricycle. When you hit a woodchuck hole the front end would jump up . Scare the heck out of me and that steel seat made your butt hurt after 8,9 hours.
@@freedomrings1420 I am also not a big fan of straight pipes on tractors. My hearing is naturally bad and louder noises will just make it worse. I don't want to be deaf by the time I am 50.
Wouldn’t it be great to have kept the Oliver name going. You could’ve had green tractor versus green tractor instead of that battleship gray tractor I have a super 88 Oliver it is like me retired
It is unfortunate Oliver was retired. It’s funny the green has come full circle. AGCO acquired WHITE in 1991 for their high horse power tractors. Today AGCO ‘s main line of high horse power tractors is Fendt which are forest green.
35 gallons as standard from the factory seems like a really small fuel tank, it seems like you would have to stop to refuel several times a day with a fuel tank that tiny. 😂😂😂
In 1972 it was a normal size. They were working 40-80 acres a day with a tractor like this depending on the job.
Sorry but every farmer still operating an open station tractor should put on a ROP at the minimum. To many life's have been lost in role over events.
Worse thing white ever did. If they would of kept the Oliver name and figured out a way to have engine oil and only one hydraulic reservoir. And a better engine. Cat, Waukesha, Perkins and Hercules all need some major updates. I think if they would of picked one. And invested some money into it. And one reservoir for all hydraulic functions. They would of made it longer. I’m not going to say they would still be here. They just didn’t have the sales numbers they needed. But the 3rd gen whites of having one reservoir for all hydraulic functions, and the switch over to Cummins engines. They would of made it longer than White did. Also I would of made the wheelbase longer on the mfwd with larger Hp. They would of sold more too. You don’t need a tight turning radius when you start pulling 18’ chisels, 22’ field cultivators and 24’ discs. Plowing you can’t turn the plow sharp enough when braking out a field till the start of the second round as well. Guy want ride comfort when your in them all day. 1855 and bigger should of been a foot longer wheel base. If they were not so rare my 1855 would get the wheel base stretched. But going to be a toy once I restore it. And just not enough built to customize in my opinion.
Much prefer the green livery. That white grey and silver is hideous.
