Just found your channel. I’ve really enjoyed watching your previous posts. I grew up running a 2-155. She is long gone, but still have a 2-160 fwa, 2-180 and a 4-270 in the stable. Oliver’s are few and far between in my part of the world and White’s are not much better. Really enjoying the history you give. Keep’em coming.
Dad bought an early 1800 Oliver tractor almost new in the early 1960’s. I grew up plowing, haying ,rod weeding, seeding spraying,fertilizing etc . After Dad then me and my brother, he traded it off early 2000’s. Like an old friend…we wore out 3 hour meters.. about 1978 I updated the power steering to full hydraulic, A great improvement..
Yikes wet planting wet harvest , mother nature sure keeps it interesting. Like your riding buddies in truck. South East Wisconsin got about 3-4 inches of snow tuesday . YUK . Great video. Jeff.
Got to love the dogs in the way all the time, but we love them. Put tracks on that calm mind that be bad ass Be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Glad ya didn't brake anything, we shelled corn today the wind was a total pain . Hopefully to get done this week durn it's cold out not ready for this cold stuff yet . Hope ya had a good Halloween 🎃 Grom turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
Hey Ethan,,sorry about ya sticking the combine. Pretty damn soft over here in west central Wisconsin too. And last night (Monday) we got almost a couple inches of snow. But,,looks like drier weather is coming. Great video,,keep after it.
Mud is always a challenge...hard on equipment and your patience. Sometimes we're able to light bin the combine to deal with things. The weather sure shifted gears on us. Last Friday I didn't need a jacket on when we were replacing bearings in the wobble drive. Yesterday we had 20 degrees. Guess November is coming in with a vengeance. Lilly and Teeter sure like being with you!!!
I know farming practices are very different in certain regions. But given your wetter nature of ground would it be a possibility to no-till?? I know here there's a huge difference in how quick we can get in the field tilled vs notill. Many times in harvest like chopping silage a rain never even slows us down unless our extremely rolling ground is to slippery. Even then we don't break through. In grain we get back in the field just as soon as the moisture gets acceptable
No one said farming was easy, and you are showing us why. Thanks for doing your part to kept the world fed, as it is not said enough. Looking forward to the tank-bine upgrade.
Tracks would help and be cool to see the installation process. It would be nice if later on down the road you could convert to rubber tracks to make moving easier.
Those soft spots are definitely becoming a pain. You're still making progress and that is good. I was surprised with that field having tile. I didn't see that coming. Teeter and Lilly had to see what was going on, hahahaha. They were just looking for the treats, lol. They figured they would get more if they poked their head out far enough, lol😅 see you in the next one.
Already going to get snow huh… I think the weather is going to get interesting this winter. Especially here in south ga. Hell they just put us under a freeze watch which is very uncommon this time of year.
I put rubber tracks on the combine a few years ago to get soys out. I put on big back tires with no rear wheel drive. You could drive about anywhere. But some guys got tracks stuck too. And yup, Steel tracks suck on the road, rubber tracks are still a pain. A few guys run tracks all year around here. Good luck.
As advanced as rubber tracks have become if you’ve got a nice set id leave them on all season to. Even in a dry year it’s that much less ground compaction.
@@Oliver66FarmBoythey were "soucy" brand. Took them off and resold them right after beans were done that year. Great flotation, but not my first choice of design.😊
We had just over 5 inches of rain last week and this week we had between 2 - 3 inches of snow. We are about 60% done beans up here. We went from bone ass dry to soaking wet. It just sucks!
Most farmers know soil types and structure dictates everything from tillage to harvest. I have had the opportunity to work a lot of different soils types and can say anything with any clay is a bitch to work with. Rain or lack of rain can kill you. The neighbors can be harvesting and there you sit waiting for drier conditions. I have farmed pure muck when tired up you can harvest right through standing water(just dont stop). Thanks for videoing the good with the bad. Give everyone a good perspective of reality. Best of luck.
Tracks seem like a huge pain in the rear when compared to a mudhog… no need to trailer it then. Not sure how the rear axle is set up on the whites but if it’s anything like an international it’d be an easy 1 day project aside from getting the hoses mated up to your existing hydrostat system.
Is no-till an option?? I really liked tilling the ground but I also like the firmness when getting the crops out. I know dealing with mud is sure a pain in your ass !
Was always taught to check it before every cold start regardless of hours in the event water started getting in places it shouldn’t… just saw a couple videos where you walked up and just started it… to each their own
In 2018 after hurricane Michael we got up to 35 inches of rain through out harvest cotton should be done in December went into February. A 80,000 lb cotton picker doesn’t like mud we had to just leave spots that never dried out and cotton seed was worthless because all the rain had washed all of the oil out of it. Not fun
Interesting... Over here we call them "top" and "bottom" sieves. In corn, we dont use a bottom sieve at all. If it has to be in we open it all the way. What is there to retrash in corn, just kernels running "one more lap" trough the combine... Some CLAAS combines even have a kit that replaces the bottom sieve with just a frame and pieces of tin to close off the return augers. What is your reasoning of using the bottom sieve and diverting some kernels to the return elevator/auger instead of opening it all the way?
@@Oliver66FarmBoy It doesn't matter to me at all I just want to see how other people work in different areas of the world. Just saying how 90% people over here do it and that combine manufacturers recommend that the bottom sieve isn't to be used in corn harvest. I had a corn head for my combine and I also didn't use a bottom sieve and there werent any com chunks in the grain tank. Keep up the good work! I hope you dont get stuck anymore! Best regards from Croatia!
Alot of know it all poop 💩 heads that think they know your business think it's easy especially if there farms was given to them 😮 I work off the farm plus grain and livestock sometimes you need do what you gotta do 😊
You’re comparing 2 completely different size machines. Midas well be comparing a biplane to a 747. In relation to the size of the machine a 16.5 is plenty big.

Rain, snow sticken the combine and corn prices are slippen . Gotta love farmin . Only plus is fertilizer prices are projected to fall for 2024
Corn prices have remained fairly consistent around 4.30-4.40 since harvest began.
Got to love the dogs in the way all the time, but we love them. Put tracks on that calm mind that be bad ass Be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Yep
Good to see ya get through it Ethan. Tracks on big red would be pretty cool. Stay safe young man and keep em comin 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

Sounds like the old dial up internet during starting of the combine
It’s annoying

Nice work. Got er done.
Tracks would help and be cool to see the installation process. It would be nice if later on down the road you could convert to rubber tracks to make moving easier.
We sure got the wet heavy snow up here in Bainbridge twp.
We are at about 3 inches so far.

They know where all the treats are.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy oh yeah, they know, hahahaha. They pay attention, lol.
You may be fighting mud, but that looks like some real good corn.
It wasn’t as good as I hoped
Already going to get snow huh… I think the weather is going to get interesting this winter. Especially here in south ga. Hell they just put us under a freeze watch which is very uncommon this time of year.
We didn’t freeze. Now we have 3 inches of snow on top of 12 inches of mud.
Sounds great about the tracks someone has locally. Definitely having tracks will reduce stress on machinery and you and the ground rutting damage.
It will be a step in the right direction
@@Oliver66FarmBoy on the lighter side, my pun would be. (You'll soon be on the right track.)
Sometimes you gotta fight to get er done. Farm Boy

Whoa tracks!Might need them for the muck.
I’m not worried about the muck.
The White would be bad ass with tracks.
Lilly is such a handsome girl dog
Tracks sound like the way ahead Ethan hope you are successful in getting a set
I’ve found 3 sets so far. One of them should make it here.
You’re gaining not bad for a dryer summer
Ethan, hopefully you can get those tracks so you can get some more harvesting done. Thanks Michael
Hopefully
Hey man love your machine storage building. Can you tell me what size it is and door size?
Always something
We had just over 5 inches of rain last week and this week we had between 2 - 3 inches of snow. We are about 60% done beans up here. We went from bone ass dry to soaking wet. It just sucks!
That’s a lot of water.
Tracks for the win !

The muck doesn’t scare me.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy me neither. Amazing soil.
Go with tracks and dual's. The dual's aren't as expensive or as hard to install. Maybe one this year and the other one next year.

I’m getting tracks
Cold blooded girl .
Every time it rained we would get 3 to 6 inches
👍👍
Where are you located?
Dirt Grain and Steel has an L2 on steel tracks. Even that will sink in goop.
He farms peat ground. I don’t.
Is no-till an option?? I really liked tilling the ground but I also like the firmness when getting the crops out. I know dealing with mud is sure a pain in your ass !
I’m not no tilling.
geten er done🌽🌽🌽
Do you ever check oil? More than two times now you have done a cold start and not checked the oil in the combine…
I check the oil every 10 hours when I grease it. Is that a problem for you?
Was always taught to check it before every cold start regardless of hours in the event water started getting in places it shouldn’t… just saw a couple videos where you walked up and just started it… to each their own

look in to it i do not think you need passport for just being a few hours
To cross the border all you need is a birth certificate. As far as getting it across the border you just have to make sure you claim it.
4 wheel assist and wider trolly wheels .

Are you going to fix the 6 row corn head
I said it was for parts.
Learn some patience!
No

Because it keeps cob chunks out of the grain sample. Why does it matter that much to you?

little r1 tires and 2wd that's a hard pass for me thank god those died in the 70s here
They are 16.5-16.1s. That’s a 40 inch tall tire. Not exactly little.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy thats a small narrow tire the mud hog on our 7010 had 23.1-30s R2 on the back of the combine
