  • It's the 1655's turn to mow hay. This tractor is such a smooth runner, those large front wheels just roll over bumps and dips, it's nothing less than a pleasure to drive it. It's also a good match to the Gehl 2360 horsepower wise, so away we go! There was some water and mud in the edge of one of the fields, so I turned on the front axle, just to be safe. I stop for a crop report and walk into my corn right next to the hay see how that is progressing. I'm even getting to where I can fly the drone and drive a tractor at the same time. Chewing bubble gum and walking at the same time are next on my list!

    We always mowed around the outside of the field the direction of travel and came back and got the second round the opposite way. Interesting how different farmers do things.

    I really like how so many of your fields are tree lined. Very pretty.

      @ThatOliverGuyChris  Месяц назад +2

      Thanks! I used to grow tofu soybeans that were sent to Japan. They really liked our tree lined fields because they all but eliminate the chance of contamination from a neighboring field. They also suck a lot of water and nutrients out of the soil near them, so they have their downside as well.

    64, grew up on a dairy farm in my teenage years and was a heavy equipment operator in my career. I will buy that tractor if i ever win the lottery. 😊 I remember riding the school bus in the late 60s and a dairy farm up on a hill had a yellow one and green one ... at the time i didn't know tractors but knew that those 2 tractors had big front tires and were bad looking. What a lucky farm to have owned 2 of these at the same time way back then.

    Growing up a neighbor who ran a dairy farm would ask for help, he had Oliver’s my favorite the 1655, a 1755 and his big horse a 1850. I absolutely loved that 1655 it was just the right size to pull forage boxes, cut hay and bale and it was so simple to drive.

    Must be second cut? Up here we are still working on first cut. 🤣. But there aren’t many years we take a second, usually into grain harvest by then. Lots of times once the hay gets a few good frosts we’ll let the cows graze off the regrowth.

    • @ThatOliverGuyChris
      @ThatOliverGuyChris  Месяц назад +2

      Yes, second cut. I typically get 3, occasionally a 4th. It gets too hard to dry it out after mid September

      The opening scene flying over the beans, there was a deer out there. I stopped and sent the drone up and figured I'd buzz the deer. By the time I launched, the deer was nowhere to be seen.
      The 1655 has made quite a few appearances in the 4th of July parade. It's always a crowd pleaser, but still doesn't get the attention that Herman does.
