- Oliver 770 picks corn with a New Idea 327 corn picker. Oliver Row Crop 77's crib it and an Oliver 880 diesel dries corn with a Grain Chief 450.
brings back some good memories.thats the way i did it.thank you.
That was a really fun video to watch! That late 770 and your New Idea picker are a perfect match. Thank you
Thanks
Man this brings back memories of the farm I grew up on we had eight timber mules, six horses 35 hogs we grew corn every year for stock feed we also had five big chicken houses we stayed busy n it was hard work but it was a good life I really miss those days
My grandpa was an Oliver man. He lived in NW Iowa and farmed a quarter section that my great grandpa and his brothers homesteaded in the late 1800’s. Me and my brother and two sisters used to spend the summers there until the early 70s. Wish I could recall more about the machinery other than he had 2 big (100 series maybe) Oliver’s, an Oliver mounted corn picker and Oliver disc that I remember for sure. He also had a MF he used to feed cattle with and a Farmall M with a loader he used to run the elevator and silage blower. My uncle farmed the same place until the mid 80s so it was in the family more than 100 years. Thanks for posting these videos it brings back some good memories.
Similar story here, been farmers since they got off the boat from Germany. This farmstead has been operating since 1903 and is nearing the end. That’s why I started making the videos.
@@crazydave4455 Small world, my great grandfather immigrated from Germany also.
Great looking old Oliver's we mow hay with our 2 oliver 770 works great
You have no idea the great memories this brings back for me. All the sounds, and I can still smell it. Last time I picked corn was 1990. I miss the farm and would love to take a vacation just to be on the farm and run all the old equipment again. We had Oliver’s and a New Idea Picker
Glad you enjoyed it. Sadly this was the last time corn was ever picked at the farm. Just memories for me now as well.
@@crazydave4455 just my luck lol
You know, it has always been my impression that Oliver and New Idea always had a special connection.
Its similar in principle as Frontier building accessories for John Deere
An Oliver 770 picking corn with a New Idea unit trailing with a J&G wagon....the perfect marriage
They do make a good pairing.
Nice old picker! Reminiscent of the good old days
That is really some good corn The ears are flowing greatly
You can never have enough Olivers
I’d like a few more 😂
nice looking ear corn
Grandpa always picked ear corn, we had a woods corn picker. Pulled it behind his 770 or my JD- B. Grandpa insisted grinding the whole ear in the hammer mill was better for the cattle and pigs then just cracked corn kernals that combining and a roller mill would give. We also added in mineral and oats we grew to the ground corn. Our steers we always very well fed. Came out pretty tasty too. Wish I would have had a chance to pull my equipment off the farm before my grandmother scrapped everything. I lost a few pieces of my personal equipment and much of grandpas is gone.
Used to fill 4 cribs every year when we milked cows. Now just do one for the steers that are around, grind it in the hammer mill over the winter. Used to do oats as well when I was a kid. Too bad about the equipment.
Another great video. I remember a neighbor we had used a 77 oliver. I was 8 at the time. My dad used 630 jd and m farmall and a 400 or 450 diesel. Brings back find memories.
Thanks. Fun to compare the competing American tractor companies technologies of the times, be it JD, Farmall, Allis, Oliver etc. So much has happened in 100 years, from horses to autonomous tractors guided by GPS.
Living the dream.
Looks like you are close to a housing development. Awesome to see you putting the corn up
Surrounded. I talk about it, in tonight’s video. Thanks.
How many do we need?? LMAO 😂🤣 never too many tractors!!!!
Pretty cool Dave!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Only time of year they all get used simultaneously, nice not to have to unhook, hook. Etc.
Thanks Ed.
@@crazydave4455 always nice to just weld the pin in👍😎
Just became a subscriber. Love the Oliver content. I have a 770 tricycle front with the checkerboard grill, and flat top fenders. 😊
They are nice chore tractors, power steering and power booster.
Cool video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Nice video! I run IH but I love watching these old Oliver's. Looks like you have a 12 roll bed on your picker. Mines and 8. Beautiful corn!! Excellent looking ears. Should make some good cob meal for those hungry Holstein's. Take care!
Thanks Scott, I think it’s a model 327. It is a 12 roll bed. Dad bought it from a nearby farm, to replace our wore out 324 it was always stored inside. Handles today’s modern yields pretty well.
24% is correct,my dad said the same! Picked a lot of corn with a IH 234.
at 6:00..........A real nice field of corn there !
Looks to be yielding quite well.
It was a good stand, this was fall 2020.
Great video we had a new idea w supper sheler .worked good ,run it with my 2-70 ,worked hard enough if it was wet
Thanks Ivan. That was our second New Idea picker, first was a 324 this was a 326 and it can eat some corn!
Make America Great Again bring back Oliver !
Still in regular service over here.
@@crazydave4455 my nephew takes his 77 to Brown County fair in Ohio . Gets in the pulling contest with has a fun time .
@@philipprebble7089 we pull a few, have a 77 that pulls pretty well and have been dialing in a super 66 my brother and I got this spring.
If you will spread a tarp down before you start, it will make clean up a lot easier, with less waste.
Thanks for the ride along. I was going to ask how you knew when the corn was ready to be picked. Thanks for sharing.
Test it 😂 a lot of it is around 20%
Que hermosa maquinaria che😁😁👏😃
Pretty cool. 3:20 I remember that sound of the elevator squeak.
Certain sounds and smells bring you right back.
Nice. I have a '63 770 that I need to get running.
Get her tuned up and take her to couple of shows. 👍
How many 77 row crops, in my head I said all of them, lol.
Beautiful equipment you have. Is is all original or have you done any restoring of them.
That 770 must be from near the end of the series, and it's fantastically smooth and quiet.
When I see these Olivers out working and looking so good it makes me sad what White Motor did to the company.
Thanks for sharing.
Some have been touched up, kinda of a working tractor paint job. The 1555 is original, needs a buff paint is yellowing. I think the wide front 77 is also. Not sure on the 880 it's a later arrival to the farm. Funny the 770 was actually sputtering a bit, like it had fuel problem. It's a 1964, I believe they were made until 1967. It's a nice chore tractor, 2 speed, power steering.
I agree, would have been nice to see what Oliver did if white didn't siphon off their money and run them into the ground.
I'm trying to think, is there even a row crop style front tire configuration being built today? If not, why? Why is it that back in the day many companies were making them but now you don't see them anymore except old tractors?
Thanks for posting, it was very interesting.
These little tractors are now replaced with compacts like Kabota, Mahendra, Deere etc. I don't think there is any demand for a small traditional row crop tractor. Years ago there where tons of small farms, those die off and the large ones survive/replace them. Guys running thousands of acres have no use for the small stuff. Their grain carts hold more than that dryer and truck combined. That's my 2 cents anyway.
Row crop tractors excelled at cultivating. With the advancement of herbicides, cultivating has gone away, mostly.
Picked alota ear corn with a,JD 60 n a 237 mtd. Picker....good Times
I'd open up the neibors 40 acre piece for tank of gas n lunch...lol
The 77 pulling the gravity boxes used to have a mounted picker on it. Not many pick these days.
I farmed with 2 770 diesels& an 880 gas , the 770's would out do the 880!!
The 770 is nicer to operate, 2 speed, power steering flat top fenders. In this case the diesel 880 has more snort than the 770 gas. It’s also a lot heavier, with fluid and 3 pt.
Hey Farmer. Just watching your video
Is that a GTG dryer? I farmed 500 ac in south alabama. Ran white and olive equipment. Had a white 2-150 olive 1850 olive 1365 white 8600 combine. Will keep up with you. Good luck. Roll tide roll.
Dryer is a Grain Chief 450, not sure what the parent company is. Interesting tractors, that White had the big Moline diesel in it and the 1365 was a fiat build Oliver I believe. Hope they were good to you, thanks for stopping by and saying hi 👋
@@crazydave4455 thanks for getting back to me. The 1365 and 1850 were great tractors. White 2-150 had some trouble with engine and transmission. The combine was trouble from day one. Never could get the grain clean. Sold my farm about 10 years ago. Had about 150 pecan trees until 3 years ago. Ran a agco gt 65 for 5 years. Great tractor. Good luck my friend.
@@robertmeszaros5439 I heard the 2-150s were problematic, have only run Deere combines here in my lifetime. Enjoy retirement ! and good luck to you too.
At what moisture do you pick corn at so to not have so much ear shelling
I’m not sure if there is a magic number, I think some varieties are less prone to it than others. I would say most years as long as it’s 24% percent or less and the weather permits get it done. I think it was 19/20% at the time this video was shot.
Looking like good corn. That a 12 roll husking bed?
Yes. Think it’s a model 327.
We have one that looks just like it
@@flatbrokefarms8315 pretty good machines. When I was a kid, we had an Oliver mounted picker. This will eat more corn.
@@crazydave4455 they are a bullet proof machine as long as you keep up on maintenance
What tractor do you use to cultivate your fields for next season?
White 2-135 it will be in action soon!
@@crazydave4455 cool need a farm tour video sometime. Looks like a nice setup
Pinseeker Gaming will be doing a tractor talk/tour soon. Thanks for watching.
@@crazydave4455 not going to lie I love your videos I wish I could help with these old harvests, keep up the good work 👏 👍
Pinseeker Gaming thanks!
It always seem to take forever to pick a load of ear corn
Not as long as it used to 😂 the yields are little better now than when that picker was new.
It might make a good video if you did a detailed walk through of the New Idea picker, i am interested in how the machine cleans the cob off.
I could do that, was going to do a walk around, but he took off before I got a chance. And by the time we got caught up on work it was getting dark.
Had a 660 and 880
Not too many 660s around.
What year is your 770, 1966? Mine is a 1964 and my dads is a 1966.
It’s a 64.
Nice video this is Grant cain
Hi Grant! Thanks for coming by and commenting.
What state is this in?
MN just west of the Twin Cities
What's the tall weed in the corn field?
Ragweed. Few spots it got away on us, not sure if it got missed with spray or what.
Clean the front screen before it runs hot and does damage.
It got cleaned and checked on regularly
