That’s a great job with what room you had! Camera on plow was perfect and listening to the Oliver bark was the best I will have to watch video several more times!!! Thanks for recording and sharing!!
That looks like a real pain. The 1955 looks super nice. We had a 1950 4wd and it was gutless. Anytime you hit a soft spot in the field, down shift.....thank goodness for the over/under.
Great job Ethan! Reminds me of when we claimed some pasture ground that was about 3 to 4 acres. If I remember correctly, we rented an 1855 and a four bottom once we got that far. Big, big job getting it to that point.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy There you are wrong, gypsum does nothing to ground PH levels. Gypsum adds only sulfur & calcium, also removes sodium from the soil. Saves a lot of time from going over a field numerous times burning fuel
That will be good ground just going by the sod you turned! A fella might do himself a great service by checking them black areas with a metal detector though, If they were burning garbage lumber, it could have had tons of nails in it & we all know how good they are for tires. But.... I suspect a somewhat more nefarious undertaking of Guerilla Grow-Op. type farming especially after seeing the hose by the base of that tower & a dug pond LOL
What is the latest on the 2255 progress? We just rolled our 2255 mfwd out of the shop last night…… fresh 3208 t with the exhaust out the original hole and aircleaner too……. Taking it to the national oliver show in candidaigua ny on sunday …… its not restored yet but its the first it ran in30 yrs or so
If you could make it to candidaigua we would treat ya to a steak dinner ……. We also have the 3208 that was the oliver repower for parts if ya need any……
Came out looking pretty good for the first pass in lord knows how long. I'm sure you considered chisel plow to break through the hard pan. Just curious if that would help it drain better or not. See you soon.
Not unlike some ground we rented from neighbors where I grew up. It hadn't been farmed in years and had small bushes growing up here and there. Took a couple of years of picking roots, etc. and it gradually came around. As you said, not pretty, but once you get it worked down and leveled...should make a decent piece for hay.
CAUTION I WAS PLOWING AND THE PLOW PLUGED I WENT OUT TO KICK THE PLUG OUT AND MY PANT LEG CAUGHT COVER BOARD AND CUT MY LEG TO THE BONE. ALMOST BLEED TO DEATH. GREAT VIEDOS AND CONTENT.
Years ago, my partner and I got a new piece of ground. As things worked out, headed up there bout midnight. Note to self Stop When You See Cat Tails. Ha!
If you look back in your video around the 1927 to 1931 mark you plow something up that was round look like a piece of metal but not sure but good video good job plowing
U know what sucks when ur plowing is when u are in the back forty and wonder y the tractor isn't moving unless u hit the brakes so u get out and notice ur whole wheel is about a foot of coming off bc the center is cracked were the locks are
Your hoses are catching on the tire when making left turns. 15:00 Since it's going into hay I'd disk it, let it settle a bit, then run the chisel plow through it to catch areas where the plow was lifted and work closer to the towers. I've cussed plenty of times thinking they'll level out and never does.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy In our neck of the woods there was alot of JohnDeere IH and AC tractors pulling oliver plows We had a 516 Oliver plow we pulled with our ACs!!
The couple of feet you get, when you get close to the lags of the power line, is not worth it, thats just sad. and the power line is there for us all, and if they have to get a truck in there and work on the power line, they will have a hard time, your stupid.
Yes because going across a hard flat hay field is so much worse than tracking through an unmaintained patch of 5 foot tall weeds, brambles and saplings. You’re an idiot.
