Baling hay with the Oliver 1550, 1955, Super 88, and American 80. 

So far ahead of thier time,

That 1955 is gorgious man nice llooking do you need the duals or just leave them on al the time ? I like the way a big tractor looks with 4 tires in rear i wish i had room to run duals in my little town in mass we realy have a hard enough time in and out of places with singles on are pig girls

That is some sweet equipment. Really like that Oliver 720 baler with the kicker. I remember the White American tractors that was a cool idea that they had.

Nice video. nice group of Ollie's out there working! Keep up the good work

Our White American 80 has 200 less hours but looks way worse than yours. Ours has seen a lot of hard hours of mowing ditches and corn stalks, running the grain vac, discing, and running a generator. Awesome to see yours in great shape, we still farm with a bunch of Whites but got into Whites from the Minneapolis Moline side. Keep up the great videos!

Good to hear about your knotters. On my old New Holland I would blow them off and apply fluid film to them had no issue. Great video

I bale with a 1750 oliver and my gehl 1470. Think it makes nice bales.

I’ve never seen this model. Thanks for your video.

Thank you for that great video and greetings from lower saxony in the north of germany. :-)

You got some pretty sweet tractors!!

Chris, the first time I saw the American line was in about 90' a highway mowing contractor in our area bought 80s in every color with canopies. I thought it was the neatest thing because of the history. Why did white kill it? Money? The sale to agco? Hope you see this and can respond.

Hello how do you call this sort of rake in USA . In France we call it : Sun cause ; the rolls are like a sun ☺I always laugh at bale launcher , imagine someone's passing around when the launch starts ☺ How much days of sun before baling ?

I like running the round baler with the 1750 not because of the power ,I like having a little more weight! Your right the 80 is a 1655 they didn't change the PTO clutch! Thanks for taking the time to make video Chris they are very interesting!

How do your round bales do there with rain without a wrap? Seems like much easier on the tractor making round bales.

Nice to see the older stuff in action. If you take care of it it'll last a long time. Great video.

You need a 1550 utility to bale with on the 720 baler , 1st threw 4th are a bit slower than a row crop tractor and it makes it great to bale with. Love seeing Oliver equipment being used like you do. Still really like the roto flow design Oliver used in there balers, Very smooth and its an easer flow of hay into the machine to bale. Its a much better idea than an auger by far. Bandit

I think most things were made better back then!! Living where I am with our prevailing winds coming off the Atlantic means our equipment is prone to rusting out. Sheet metal on tractors and machinery lasts no more than 25 years. We get over it😄. Then again we can grow grass 12 months of the year

Really neat video. That little American is about the most perfect hay tractor there is. That’s neat story about the dealership. I worked for a MF dealer that farmed and it was pretty neat. Wrench all day and farm all night.

Dude! This is soo Kool THat 1955! Woah Not to mention an American 80! Holy Awesomeness!!!

Of its possible would you mind doing closer view of how it works?

Good to see you got all the hay baled.

Nice equipment. Never saw that tractor u are round baling with before!!! What state are you in??

Nice tight bales.

Serious business when the turbo straps are engaged on the Crocs!

How many days is dry time for you? I'm in south texas normal for me is 2 noons.

I'm over in Wisconsin and I worked for another farmer out of highschool. I enjoyed running his 2-135 4×4 with the Hercules engine and he also had a White American 80 with the Cummins and it had a factory canopy.

It looked like there was a lot of the fine stuff left in the stubble . Also looked like there was a lot of leaf loss , looked like the leaves we're to dry when you bailed it . Iooked like stalks were about all that was left . After it was cured out probably should have bailed it in the evening or morning when it was a little damp.

The cab on the 1955, is that factory. Nice Tractor

Cool video 😀

Would you mind doing a video on how your equipment works with the tractors?

I don't even live along a main road but I still end up with beer cans and stuff in my pasture. Amazing that people will just throw it out the window - No respect I tell ya... no respect! That 720 makes a really nice bale. You got her tuned in just right. I'm glad you made sure to have enough tractor to pull that rack to the field lol! Bring wrenches so you don't need em!! So... I did not realize the american tractors were open-center. That's actually a little disappointing. What a great collection of equipment! And the peek into the past at the end of your videos is awesome! I really appreciate you taking the time to post these videos! I get to live vicariously through your videos lol!

Dose that rake run off the hydraulics?

Good to see the 1955 again! A friend of mine had four American 80s at one time or another. And one of each color I believe, I know for sure green, red and silver. I am not sure if he had a yellow one not. How many years did they make them?

We can’t get to making hay right now because we are not finished planting beans! It keeps on raining

learn how to rake hay , you need to move the whole crop so it will dry right
