Welcome aboard! i appreciate that you subscribed and am glad to meet another Oliver enthusiast. If you check out my channel you will see lots of Oliver videos, including a recent Oliver tractor drive a few of us took back in June. Thanks for subscribing and commenting. Nice to meet another PA TH-camr!
Had a lot of seat time on the old 1650 diesel Grandpa bought it new in 1966 pulled 4-14 semi mounted plow that was also our first diesel tractor and our largest one for 6-8 years
Yes, I am always looking forward to seeing your Oliver tractors. I do recall being a kid when Dad was plowing and it all balled up underneath the plow just like you were talking about. Thanks Michael
It will definitely do that, but since I've been chopping my stalks, I have very little problem with it. Glad you enjoy the Olivers. I know I do! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I spent hrs upon hrs running a 4 row stalk chopper behind the 1959 oliver 880 diesel that I have redone now. Grandpa was a stickler. He wanted ever stalk to be cut so him and dad could cover the fields with manure and plow everything under. Great video Charlie I enjoy everyone you post
Love the video. I had a really hard time convincing my Grandpa to try disking down corn stalks in the fall. He always thought it was a waste of gas. I printed off articles about errosion and getting the stalks in the ground to the bugs to break down. We tried it one year, the next spring we disked it again and planted directly into it the Oats and grass seed/alfalfa. The stocks were soft enough the planted cut right through it. The field was still smooth and we saved having to plow in the spring before planting the oats. We had a 5yr rotation. 1st year corn, then oats the second. 3 years of alfalfa followed and back to corn. Worked very well for our bottle calves/ steer raising operation.
Man yeah Mr Charlie, that was amazing!! I could listen to that Oliver all day!! I don't blame you one bit!! Prayers for Cory's family, and look fwd to seeing what's next my friend!! 😁😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I used to brush hog mine but with the price of fuel the last two years I’ve decided not to and I didn’t have any issues this spring with that new high speed disc it chop them up really good
I was thinking of getting a stalk chopper, then a friend told how that fall he had chopped his, then a wind storm came along and gave all his organic matter to the neighbors. His field was bare except the nub of stalk above the roots. I like discing for some of the same reasons as you. It breaks it up, but also pins it down.
Love the sound of that 1650, and miss my 1750 which we traded in on a new tractor in 2018. (Love the 4WD though). Nice explanation of your stalk strategy.
Thanks for your kind words. I know that farmers watching will know what's going on, but I try to explain for the benefit of the non-farmers and those who might not be familiar with whatever I'm doing in a video.
Too bad you couldn’t have found a 1750 or 1755 mfwa. Then you could have the best of both worlds. Unfortunately I don’t think they’re the easiest to come by.
Great video. If you ever have time, perhaps you could do a video on how well these gas tractor engines hold up year over year under a working loads, typical issues and tune up intervals.
I have the 13 foot version of that disk. We bought it 30 years ago. I don't know if its standard or a configuration option but mine is spaced 9 inches on the front and 7 inches on the back. Does a nice job chopping stalks but would help if they were a little bit heavier. Also needs new disks badly. Changing bearings is fun if you don't pay attention with it's 8 sided shaft, 6 sided bearing, and 4 sided disk. 😁😁
I've had this AC disk for probably about 30 years. Have never needed to change bearings yet, but glad you pointed out some of the things to look out for. It's my back-up disk now, to my 15 foot Krause rock flex. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I got into a debate with a new age young farmer on here about a week ago. He was Mr. Notill. No matter what I said, he practically hyperventilated whenever I mentioned ANY kind of tillage. I brought up different climates, soil types, weed resistance, heavy crop trash. Nope. No till was the ONLY way to go, and I think if it were up to him, he’d like to see you punished and have your farm taken away if you tilled so much as your garden. I finally gave up, he HAD to have the last word.
I don't try to debate with people like that. You'll never change his mind. I feel he has the right to do what he wants on his farm, but I have just as much right on my farm to do it my way, which I do. I think there are lots of benefits to conventional tillage and that's why I will continue to do it. Any one who doesn't like it, doesn't have to. I don't have control of what they think and I won't lose sleep over it.Thanks for watching and commenting.
If you don't like the sound of a sweet Waukesha there's something wrong with you LOL but me myself I like my straight pipes on 88 and 1855 and John dear a don't think I put it on a 1950 Detroit they're loud enough with a muffler if I ever can't afford one nice video
Thank you, Dave. I think the old girl sounds pretty good. I love to run it. I'll bet that 88 and 1855 sound pretty good with straight pipes. Thanks for watching.

Absolutely I put videos up of mine as well with a few other colors but I'm oliver first
@@lynnhavenfarm8514 I'll check them out.

They were, and still are, great tractors. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. The 880 is a great tractor and i wish I had one. Maybe someday... Thank you for watching, my friend.
The 16 sounds good, thank you for the ride!
You're welcome. Thanks for coming along!

Sounds like a good plan. I think there are lots of benefits to disking stalks.
Great video!
Thanks, John, I appreciate that!
Glad to see a Allis implement still doing a fine job.
Yep - I really like that old disc. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I do like seeing you use your Oliver tractors as they were intended I can see how that’s a very enjoyable day look forward to the soybean video
Oh I definitely enjoy my time on the Olivers. Always look forward to that! Thanks for supporting the channel.
I sure love that 1650, perfect size for a lot of chores
It sure is a convenient sized tractor for a lot of things. Thanks for being here.
Man yeah Mr Charlie, that was amazing!! I could listen to that Oliver all day!! I don't blame you one bit!! Prayers for Cory's family, and look fwd to seeing what's next my friend!! 😁😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it, Nelson. Thanks for being such a loyal supporter of my channel. Means a lot.
@@pagrainfarmer Yes sir always!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁
Nice discing video Charlie, like the 1550, an Oliver just sound great
Yeah, the old tractor sounds pretty good for being almost 60 years old. Thanks for being here, Jan.
1650 just purrs along!
It sure do! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree just about any job with an Oliver is a good job. Thanks for sharing.
I agree 150%. Love my Olivers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Running a little late but, thanks for sharing, enjoyed the ride and the video!
No problem, Cousin Scott. Glad you stopped by and enjoyed the video, my friend!
I used to brush hog mine but with the price of fuel the last two years I’ve decided not to and I didn’t have any issues this spring with that new high speed disc it chop them up really good
Yes, the disc works pretty well on this. Thanks for supporting my channel, Andy.
Subbed ,love the channel!
Thank you, John! Welcome aboard.

Yes - I definitely think it's a good reason to disk them. Thanks Chris for supporting my channel.
Good informative video thank you so much.
Very glad you thought so. I try to make videos that are worthwhile. Thanks for supporting my channel.

Sure - that's a good idea for a future video. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.

The 1650 sounds really good Charley. Sometimes I disc'em, sometimes I bush hog'em. Depends on what mood I'm in 🙂
I've done both, too, but I seem to favor the discing just because of the incorporation into the soil and not as hard on the rotary mower.

Charlie I enjoyed the ride. I know what you mean about a camera malfunction had quite a few of those over the years, yeah it's a real pisser.
Yeah, I lost over 20 minutes of footage, which was irritating. But I'll replace it. Thanks for being here, as always, my friend.
If you don't like the sound of a sweet Waukesha there's something wrong with you LOL but me myself I like my straight pipes on 88 and 1855 and John dear a don't think I put it on a 1950 Detroit they're loud enough with a muffler if I ever can't afford one nice video
Thank you, Dave. I think the old girl sounds pretty good. I love to run it. I'll bet that 88 and 1855 sound pretty good with straight pipes. Thanks for watching.
How come your tractor looks like a Molotov cocktail?
Just kidding, she is a very nice 🚜.
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Chip. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
3 weeks later you will be done with that field.
Thanks for watching, Jeff.
Like the Oliver. Not so much the disking.
Well, thanks for watching and commenting. Everyone has their likes and dislikes.
Is that a Diet Pepsi or could it be a adult beverage LOL the world may never know
Some things are best kept secret...
Well do something
Did you quit it's 2023
I putt this video up last year - 2022 - about November.
