I have pretty much spent my whole life on an Oliver 770, My grandpa farmed with his until 2017 and I bought one a couple years ago for my own use. The 770 is just a great tractor, incredibly useful and comfortable. We used the 770 for light tillage, disking, harrowing, pulling the seed drill, baling hay, running the corn picker, powering the feed mill, plowing snow, etc... I can't image farming, or hobby farming without one in my own fleet.
5-23-23 Illinois Yes remember those days......Drove a IH 560 gas row crop pulling a JD 214T with a thrower.......you had to be on your toes to align thrower to wagon otherwise you stopped to pick up missed bales that was back in the 60's !!
It's always nice to see old iron still being used! I was raised on A-C equipment but, I married the oldest of the 3 neighbor girls and, father in-law ran Oliver equipment so, I spent plenty of time with it too. He still has and uses the 1855 that he bought new back in 1969. MAN! That baler REALLY kicks lol!
We have 2 770 oliver and use them to mow hay with small drum mowers because there narrow front ends we can load both tractors on 1 trailer and take them to fields 68 miles from home works great and great video
Well well listen to that Oliver just sing that pretty tune. They made a very fine tractor. Take that shade of green any day. Makes want to go out and find myself a 1850 gasser like I had many years ago.
I grew up in Charles City, IA. The makers of Oliver's were a very proud group of works. Made great tractors. My Dad worked in the plant for 20 years. Right up to it's closing as White Farm in the early 80's. The plant is gone now. Sad.
I spent many hours raking hay with an Oliver 60 with a john deere or New Holland rollbar rake. Before we upgraded to a discbine we mowed most of the hay with an Oliver 66 wide front. I've bailed with a 60, 66, 77 or super 88 on a New Holland 69 baler. We don't do many small bales anymore so we still have the old 69 baler that was my grandpa's.
It seems like there are A lot of cool finds in WI! My father talks about this model tractor a lot…our family bought a brand new one when he was a boy. A wide front old style grill era. He said it was such a smooth-running tractor.
I have three 77s, a 770, and an 88. I pull an Oliver 4240 three bottom plow and model 64 grain drill, an ih field cultivator, and a H&S bifold rake. One of the 77s was bought new in 1952 by my grandparents and has been on our farm it’s whole life
Jason, I love seeing those older tractors out running in the field. Great video. My grandpa had Oliver; my mom told me he had a 77 model. That farmer has some Olives. 😀😀
Spent a lot of hours on an Oliver 88 would love to see and hear about them. Great tractor but hard to start, we had a hill on our farm so the 88 was always parked on it to use as a starter!
That 770 didn't even know that baler was back there. A person in a kicker wagon reminds me of a joke my father-in-law told. What do you call the pitcher at a T ball game? Target. 😂😂😂
Wow so I’m going to have a rare one thanks for answering that question, I have quite the lineup of Oliver tractors I have a Oliver super 66 wide front 1955 then I have a Cockshutt 60 narrow front and a case va plus I have a Massey Ferguson manure spreader and a Massey Harris dump rake and what I think is really rare a cockshutt 9a 2 bottom plow with the original decals still on it I plan on adding to my collection I have just started since I’m 14
@@Olivermansuper66 that's awesome. I checked my notes on the 660, and there was 1,454 total built, including ones used in road rollers. If it's diesel, then you're really getting rare. Congratulations
We use to have an Oliver 1355 handy tractor did haul manure pull wagons, an stuff. Was the first one I drove at 8 yrs old. Until the early 90’s in January when I caught fire in the machine shed the only thing burnt up the rest of the equipment survived thankfully.
I run an Oliver 1555 (circa 1974) gasser with a Farmhand F11 Loader and 8-pack grapple head. It's run backup duty for my baling or rake tractor but its place in my operation is best suited for being a loader tractor.
Australia is an interesting market for Oliver. I have a few Australian Oliver brochures and White Farm Equipment brochures. Australia had a few Oliver model cations not sold in U.S. like the 1950 El Toro and 2270. Around 1973 the Oliver 55 series in Australia became the White 55 series and were sold in Sumac Red. Between 1974-1976 silver White tractors were phased into Australia. White maintained a full line presence in Australia through 1985.
I just bought a 1965 Oliver 770 6cyl diesel with backhoe and loader. It is in beautiful condition. Was this an option from the factory or added later on? What did this option cost jn 1965?
Very interesting, I've never seen a baler that shoots bales out like this and with a fair amount of force too. How much would those bales weigh approximately ? cheers from South Australia.

That’s a fantastic baling rig. Oliver’s rule, although the earlier styling was much cooler. Odd baling pattern, turning on that center alley instead of just continuing on to the other half of the field.
Turning radius, if you work from outside in, by the time you get to the center you would have to make some wide turns to get back on the hay swath. The same concept is u 10:36 sed when pulling long tillage tools.
@@Canis_Lupus_Rex That's not what I'm talking about. At 7:40 he turns instead of going straight on to the rest of that same windrow that's right in front of the tractor. The windrows are also curved at the ends, so they were mowed that same way. That looks horribly inefficient. Hopefully there's a logical reason for that.

Yeah. So long as the fingers in the seat spring dont slip by one another. Then theyre the worst.
Now that’s big tractor power! Grew up with Oliver and still use a 1755 today as part of the fleet. No tractor engine sounds better IMHO.
Love seeing old power at work
This was a great classic filing opportunity for sure.

AC and Oliver a good combination !
Always nice to see a lot of Olivers still working in the fields.
Really cool bailing setup
This brings back memories. I pitched hay bales all through the 4 years of high school. 64 thru 68.
We have 2 770 oliver and use them to mow hay with small drum mowers because there narrow front ends we can load both tractors on 1 trailer and take them to fields 68 miles from home works great and great video
Thank you Jay. Maybe I can convince my great uncle to get his 880 diesel on the Oliver 620 this season

I understand why people use the bale thrower but I sure hated unloading the wagon, was always a bugger to pull the tangle of bales apart 🙄

Nice to see this classic and vintage tractor and machinery. Thanks for sharing
Always nice seeing old olivers out working, i see alot of different ones up here in north central iowa
Great find for sure. Takes me back. We always had to stack the wagon. I like the first way better 😂.
I love your videos and they are both entertaining and informative, however I love videos with older equipment like this one.
Thanks and keep posting
gotta love the classics man,
I like how it yeets the bale up the trailer
Kick balers are neat machines.
I miss being out on the hay wagon shagging bales! Great video Jason.
Are you sure about this?? Miss it like a toothache??
@@EDBZ28 There should be a "sarcasm font" so people wouldn't miss it! lol!

Very nice line of Oliver machinery. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video 👍👍👍
Like the baler action spitting them bales out...
Perfect hay field!
Definitely good bailing conditions.
Good video.
I like getting to feature 1950’s tractors still hard at work.

Nice haying setup😉👍
Thanks for the video👍👍
It’s neat to get back to the 1950’s.
That's a smooth running engine there!
👍👍
We actively farm with an Oliver 1750, 1850 with 1610 loader, and 1955 as well as use a 620 wire tie square baler.
My Dad bought the updated style! Backed lots of same squares behind ours with my Grandpa driving 😉😀. He would call our 770 an "O"-Liver!😊
Spent a lot of hours on an Oliver 88 would love to see and hear about them. Great tractor but hard to start, we had a hill on our farm so the 88 was always parked on it to use as a starter!
Same with ours. Ended up trading it on an 880

Is a Oliver 660 with wide front rare just wondering I’m going to buy one
@@Olivermansuper66 definitely. There were less than 1500 660s built. Most were narrow fronts.

Stacking all the bales sideways except the front row makes it easier to unload
👍👍

Very nice and handy tractor to have.
Looked like nice hay one our friends were Oliver people
Our one land lord has 3 of those, neat video Jason
Very cool. Thank you for watching.
Those Hayliners are tough as nails.
Great balers. They made Sperry New Holland the first 1 billion short line in 1979.
We farmed with an Oliver 70, 77, and M-M UBD! We had more power than we knew what to do with!
All good tractors. Built to last a life time.
Thanks
Great video 👍. The only Oliver tractors I’ve seen here in Aus have been old crawler tractors, used in the 1950-60’s era. Regards from Down Under.

Bale many, many square bales with a New Holland 276
The 276 really helped build New Holland.

.. Golden Age.....
Great video but would the bale thrower damage the bales? I've never seen one before.
Very interesting, I've never seen a baler that shoots bales out like this and with a fair amount of force too. How much would those bales weigh approximately ? cheers from South Australia.
Various companies made throwers, like this, and kickers, which would lob the bale up and back. Google ‘em!
Howdy bigtractorpower
Thank you for watching Tugboat.
that seems like alot behind a 770 but it is running it like a champ
It makes a nice baling team.
Thought we hit the big time when my father got a baler with a thrower
Used one of those a lot to run a Gehl 95 mixer.
Very nice. Gehl built good mixer mills.
Dad’s 1960 I remember cause same year I was born.
Very cool. Oliver made some great tractors in the 60’s.
NH. Balers were one of the best.
International and whoever made Ford balers were the worst.
Speaking from experience.
Ford balers we’re built by Long I believe. Ford kicker/thrower attachments came from Allis-Chalmers.
Very OLD SCOOL.
Why is he wearing a face diaper?
