I am from Australia, we used to see these tractors at the farm shows in the 80s ,they are such a well styled cool machine and my dream tractor. We had a 4-150 and loved it .We farmed around 800 acres and the 150 handled it easily.
My neighbors got 2 of them non turbo 4 _ 210s there in pretty good condition they been working them on about the same set up there dairy farmers lots of whites and Oliver's looks great and enjoyment at its finest 👍
One of the most beautiful tractors ever built. Unfortunately, there are none in Sweden where I live. But I get to watch good videos like yours & dream a bit 😃
Friend of mine's got a 4-225. I spent a lot of hours in that tractor pulling a chisel. He completely restored it and rebuilt it from one end to the other. She sure is pretty. He runs all white tractors. Get to feeling better guy see you next time.
Not trying to "one up anyone" but we had the 185- and 445-disc chisel out one day, the last week of Feb. I got two txt from neighbors with in the hour after leaving some dirt on the road pulling out. It worked nice. Not much action here. Tractors serviced, planter out and keep wrenching. Fun vid kiddo!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris As much as I hate to admit it, it does work on or in your head. There is something about being the first in the field each spring. Some manure being hauled here and fertilizer being spread. Hopefully you get feeling better soon!
Hope you're feeling better. It feels great to be out there in the dirt for the first time of the year. Glad you were able to get out there. 4-225 sounded good!
I'm doing better today. Yesterday was a little rough, but me and the 4-225 still disced over 100 acres. Must be the cab therapy is working! Thanks for checking in on me.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Glad you got that much disked and that you're feeling better. Cab therapy does wonders. Making progress here too. Got my oats planted (video to come shortly).
Nice old white nice Chris good too see some farming can't wait to the grass comes up in our field so I can fire up 1855 and do some mowing hope your cold gets better mr. Oliver guy
We had a great oliver white dealer in.my small village. Great for parts and service. Only problems they encoutered was not keeping up with growing farms their biggest horsepower Didnt continue to grow with the size of farms
I posted a picture on Facebook and a friend that lives near Rib Lake replied with a picture of the snow in his yard. Hopefully it warms for you guys aoon.
There were very few White 4 wheel drive tractors in my area. Most farms had either Versatile or Massey. We had two Masseys, 1500 and 1505. The Cat engines were good.
We didn't sell many, but a dealer to the west of us sold a lot of 4-150s. There used to be a lot them around, and there probably still is, in the fence line behind the barn.
Morning Chris. Just watchhing here before we go to church. I know exactly how you feel because I have been sick all week myself, it knocked the hell out of me. I did not work all week and my wife had the same thing the week before and she doesnt feel 100%. Have a Happy Easter.
I bet you wish you and your dad could have gotten your hands on one of those 4-375's. A 3406 is a powerful mill. I bet those thing could rip ground like no ones business.
Chris, you need some of Old Doc Brians's cough syrup. His secret recipe had Cherry syrup, Whiskey, ???, and his nephew, my uncle who inherited all of Doc's office equipment and included some big glass jugs of cough syrup, claimed there was a touch of Cresote in the syrup. I remember getting a dose of it when I was a kid and I guarantee you it worked. Mainly because it cured you ever wanting to cough again so that you did not get a dose of it again. Another thing we got as a kid was penicillin whenever we got bad colds. Grandpa would go to the vet, get a prescription for penicillin to use on his dogs, get the penicillin from the drugstore and we got shots. Grandpa was a diabetic and had to give himself insulin every day. That was back in the day when injection needles were large bore needles. He would hone the needles sharp every few days and Grandma would boil the glass syringe every night. OH DID THAT NEEDLE HURT!!!! It is a wonder that one of us grandkids or our parents was not killed due to a penicillin reaction. Great video, you should sell tickets where people could drive real equipment like that and had to actually steer it and not watch video screens depicting what was happening. Actually White was probably the first with digital readouts.
When I was a kid and we had both cattle and hogs, there was always antibiotics in the fridge. We never used them on us, but I might try it now. Feeling crappy and it's going to be a beautiful week.
Happy Easter Chris, I hope you and your family have a great holiday and you get to feeling better. Boy that 4-225 is looking great. I can remember when i was a kid seeing the White equipment ads in the Progressive Farmer magazine and i always thought they were really beautiful tractors with their styling and color. I bet that dirt was smelling good.
Ran 1 for a friend. They will get the job done, definitely not green. He took it to the local college every winter to have them work on it. What I thought was funny, no park. Had to park it like a M.
Woohoo, working in the field again, alright lets go! Great history lesson on the White 4-225 and 4-210, too bad all that had to happen, the White tractor's had some issue, but I like them. I hope your Easter went well, thanks for the video, loved it. Have a great week!
3208turbo, Cat quit building them over 20 years ago, still supply many of the parts, got one on the dyno and another one going together. Sell 'em to Bluebird Wanderlodge end users, still a lot of marine use too.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Not according to Fabick Cat in Milwaukee where I get most of my parts. OH kits come from Interstate McBee in Cleveland. Cat parts I use are reman connecting rods @ 2 grand a set exchange, injection nozzles and you have to watch the adapters in the cylinder heads that fit between the injection lines and nozzles under the valve cover. They go bad and cause a dead miss. Cat has no soul. Used their reman cylinder heads a couple times, can do as well @ better price w/local shop. Had to return a Cat head last go round due to surface finish. Had to exhange one con rod due to the big end being .002 out of round, I'm pretty sure they use an outside shop for that sort of thing, but they have the hook up on the pin bushing install. Watch your valve lash and valve spring pressures, they love to drop valves, that's what happens to many of my customers. Your turbo S/N prefix is 02Z, important if you want the parts guy to get busy and I'd suggest you keep the RPMs @ 2400, just saying.
Looks like a good start to spring for you! We still have a lot of snow here, fields are covered yet. Hope you feel better soon! Have a great Easter Holiday also.
I laughed when you said Miami for spring break because it brings up the mental image of all the college kids down there partying haha just the way you worded it. Conditions look pretty good out there. Happy Easter buddy. I hope you feel better.
Happy Easter !!!! Looks like you’ve got some hay left to sell yet. Nice to see the green grass. Ours is brown yet, covered by some white stuff here and there yet.
I do have some hay left, some is sold and they come and get it as they need it. Things really greened up fast after Tuesday. It was 70 and rain. I'm a little concerned that the trees might flower too soon and then we get a frost and the fruit crop is ruined.
Sandy ground. We also had some dry spells last year, so this corn didn't do quite as well as the rest. Have you started putting seed in the ground yet?
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I don’t want to get them all empty yet. I like waiting till July and august when it’s 110 inside them to get in with the sweep and broom. Hahaha
I just can’t feel sorry for a guy who has a cold after where you been! 😂😂😂 Welcome home. After all the rain we got, I’m surprised you got on the field so soon. Dirt looks good. Take care of that voice and happy Belated Easter to you and the family
I think we got less rain. We went to my sister-in-law in Grand Ledge for Easter dinner and there's a lot more standing water over your way. Throw in the sand and things can dry out quick. Our cruise ship was between the Florida Keys and Havana and we had gone up top to play miniature golf, when all of the sudden this roar keeps getting louder to the point that people are covering their ears. That's when the fighter jet buzzed our cruise ship, pretty much Top Gun style. He pulled up and came back around giving another pass that wasn't as close and flew away. They guy next to me says, " I don't think that was one of ours" i agreed and said it was probably Cuban. Wish I had thought to take a picture. Our first thoughts were, the world has finally gone nuts, but at least we're on a cruise ship. 😂
@@AnglesideFarm nothing more was mentioned about it. I did a Google search when I got home and a Carnival ship had the same thing happen in the same area a couple years ago. Maybe their way of saying you're getting a little too close?
To bad more 4-225 were not sold originally. Makes them almost impossible to find today. Was a White dealer in the local town back in the day. I have come across a 4-210 in the area but never seen a 4-225/
4 built and only 3 left in existence. 2 are owned by the same farm in Iowa and the 3rd I believe is either in Indiana or Ohio. Not sure about that, I'd have to watch Ethans video again to be sure.
In a nutshell, mismanagement. Texas Investment Corporation had bought the White Fatm Equipment company from White Motor arund 1982. That came with a lot of outstanding debt from the mismanagement of the 1970s. The 80s farm crisis got into full swing shortly after TIC bought WFE making things worse. I can see where selling the combine line raised capital, but discontinuing the articulated line did no such thing. They couldn't sell the line because it used many of the same components as the 2wd tractors. So it just stopped. That doesn't make sense to me but I'm sure they could show on paper why it was a good idea.
lovely sweet sounding american articulate tractor .remarkably quiet in the cab. is that a heater unit beside the clutch pedal. is white an independent company still. thanks for sharing
That's a 2 way radio near the clutch. The heat and air conditioning are built unto the console just behind the operator on each side. White was bought by AGCO in 1991. They kept making White tractors until 2000 when the name was dropped. They still make planters with the White name on them.
That Super 55 belongs to a friend. It needs tires, and a wiring harness. I bought a harness and should get around and pull it up to the shop to get it running. It would make for good RUclips.
There are a couple of 4-270s in the area, so maybe I can get one someday. A lot of the powershift parts are no longer available, so they can be pricey or near impossible to repair. There was a special version of the White 4wds called the Slope Boss. They had terra tires on all 4 corners and were sold mostly in Vermont to ski resorts for maintenance. I should do a video on them. I have quite a few pictures and even some literature. Do a Google search for White Slope Boss, you'll find pictures.
I don't know how the Versatile is set up, but this has a large single brake disc between the differential and planetary final drives. It only has them on the front axles, but it's full time 4 wheel drive, so it stops them all.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris the exact same way…. Guess I’ll pass on a white too…. Lol caught my versatile on fire when their stupid design failed and the brake got stuck…. 🤢
@@ThatOliverGuyChris haha idk the versatiles and steigers were a disc brake like a car would have, idk…. When you guys going to plant over there? Still lots of snow here in Eastern SD
@@frankfarms83 if all goes well, I should get some oats planted this week. The ground is still pretty cold to be putting corn in right yet, probably a couple weeks out from that yet.
Thank you I no till my corn, but I like to give the bean ground a discing to break up the corn fodder, smooth out rough spots, and to get some weed control. It seems to work, my spray guy said last week that I'm their only customer that they go across once for weeds in beans.
