- I've been learning the ropes with the drone, and while there's room for improvement, I think I got some nice shots of my Oliver tractors and equipment making second cutting hay. No commentary on this one, just great Oliver equipment singing its song.

As always, Thanks for watching! - Авто та транспорт
And as Jackie Gleason would say, "How sweet it is!"
And the 1655 is looking very sharp !!!
Thanks!
Love all of your Oliver tractors I have a 1967 Oliver 1450 that I bale with
Awesome. Thanks!
👍👍👍👍
Nice to see the toys out helping the haymaking bro. Got some great drone footage too. Safe travels. Ken
Thanks Ken!
So nice to see the OLIVER machinery in use.
Multitasking at its finest...loved every minute of it! 👍👍😎
Thank you!
Looks like that tune up on the baler was a success. Nice multitasking.
Thanks!
There's something about drones that just seems to bring out the confidence in a man... you had a close call with the trees, but you were undeterred and you went back in for more. That's admirable confidence haha.. my drone had an unfortunate run in with a tree, and I determined it was gonna cost just as much if not more to repair it so I bought the same one again. That one came brand new out of the box and immediately met the chimney in the first five minutes.
That's some good quality looking hay you got there Chris. Have a good week!
😂😂😂. I'm pretty proud of my track record. I got the drone for father's day, and that was my first crash. It was also in autopilot, so that technically wasn't me either. I think I'm ready to try a 747 now! 😂
Let me see how it sounds: "Losey's home for wayward Olivers and jets"
Yeah, the more I say it the more it sounds right. I would say go for it. Haha
I can smell this video!
Cutting tedding raking baling hay and flying a drone all at the same time. Man of many talents !
It helps that the field is an odd shape, that makes it easy to hide crooked rows.
We need a guy like you for Minneapolis Moline 😂
Instead of don't drink and drive, it should be don't drone and drive. Nice job with the drone, any landing you can walk away from is a good one 😂
😂😂😂
What talent! Great vid Chris. Watched this on the big screen. Spousal Unit enjoyed it too. "That Oliver is pink?" Glad no damage from the crash. Have a great week. See ya next Sunday.....after church.
It sure looks pink! 😂.
The drone came with extra propeller blades, so I think they knew it was going to find the nearest tree. I might do a live stream from the show in New York, stay runed!
Great stuff Chris, lovely looking hay! Too good for horses.
Wet six weeks here in🇮🇪. Guys are getting grain but straw is a major struggle. Second cuts only partly done. Fields getting wet. But nothing we haven’t seen before. Ophelia really cuts a beautiful stance on that mower. Top job thanks for huge effort. Alastair
Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised how well second cutting did. The rain has turned back on, so the corn and beans are looking much better, and 3rd cutting is coming up quickly.
Those throwers are a pain when you unload the wagon. Jumbled mess. Always a few broken too.
Good job on the aerials, I like it. I loved seeing all the different equipment at work. The Oliver 1755 has some resemblance of my American 80, fiberglass canopy, with a loader, although mine is a Westendorf. That Oliver 1655 is beautiful, it really has an eye popping appearance. Enjoyed watching this one a lot. Thanks Chris, have a great week!
Thanks Dan. The canopy on the 1750 is off a White, I know what one, they were all the same. Basically it was the metal cab top.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Yeah, I said a 1755, whoops 1750!😁
Knotter adjustment was a success, no broken bales. A band aid for the drone though!!
There were a couple of bales that fell victim to the thrower, and the knotter that tied 2 balls of twine together failed.
We’ve had to log a few trees to rescue drones from them. Cool footage!!!
I was worried it was still up in the tree. There was a marsh area just the other side of the tree that would have been a bad place for it to fall as well. So I got lucky.
Super video. Greetings from the Alps
Many thanks!
The PINK 1850 was very good sir! but the Green Oliver 66 just went everywhere you pointed! Nicely done!!
It’s not pink.
@@nellsonstout7001 it's more pink then purple
Those are some nice tractors. The one you teted with was the coolest.
The 66 diesel. I use that one quite a bit. It sips the fuel.
Ummmm.... Chris.... there's a tree there. LOL
Oh man, "idiot blocks", that's what we used to call small square bales, still question why they're called square when they're rectangle. LOL Hate to admit it but as a kid, we put up at least 10k of these a year before we got a round baler.
Love watchin the old iron (Oliver's) work.
I made 4 wagon loads. I don't store 'em, so if a customer wants squares they have to come get them off the wagon. That means horse owners, since horses are wasteful. They are so wasteful that when I when I typed "horses are", autocomplete suggested the next word to be "wasteful". Even my phone knows. 😂
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I agree entirely. If given the chance horses will waste nearly as much as they eat and don't get me started on what they can do to fences. BTY good job loading that hay wagon. I'm impressed with that bale thrower......unless you got up there and leveled it off.
@@dmc3742 I was making them heavy enough that I had to get in and throw a few to the back. I swear it used to throw better, but I can't figure out what has changed.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Indeed they are wasteful.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris#SayNoToHorseGirls
Nice footage! And yeah it's amazing how trees can reach out and grab drones.
I feel like Charlie Brown and his kite! 😂
Great shots; including the "landing" in the tree. :)
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. 😂
That 1655 is one gorgeous tractor.
Thank you. It's been in my shop since the 4th of July, just so I can look at it when I'm in there.
Oliver action reporter with an action report.... More interesting than traffic over Detroit...
This is your Eye in the Sky, That Oliver Guy! It appears we have a tie up on the 720, near the junction of 19. It's recommended to take the 880 home! 😂
@@ThatOliverGuyChris 880 in the express lane always.
The drone footage was cool. I don’t know how you keep track of everything that’s going on with the bailer operation and still fly the drone. I’d get disoriented all the time and spend more time digging the drone out of the trees than flying it🥴. My favorite shot was the view from behind with the bail launching towards the drone. Keep feeding America!
The drone has a "follow me" mode where it basically flies itself. It works pretty well, most of the time, but doesn't have collision avoidance. During the close call it had lost its lock on me and when it does it holds position until the operator does something. It was maybe a foot away from the trunk of that tree when it stopped. After that I took it up to what I thought was higher than the trees, but the other end of the field proved that I was wrong. I still had the controller because it stays at the same angle in the mode, (if you are going in a straight line) and that gets boring. I'm still learning the ropes with it, that's why there was very little footage of the 1850 from it. By the time I was getting it to lock on, I had run the battery down.
I’m glad to see you starting to use the 1750 more, that’s a sharp looking tractor with the ROPS and canopy. I think it would look good running the mower
I've got the 1750 set up for narrow rows, so it would run over a lot of the windrow or I'd have to make a narrow one. That might be alright for 3rd cutting, there's not as much hay and the tedder will fluff it back up.
Chris looks like you got the knotting okay now. Question for you on the square baler means you have a thrower on your baler throwing them into the wagon you need to have those bales pretty tight so the square bales will hold up when it gets thrown? Amazing how those trees jump right out into the way of your drone 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I like seeing the Oliver tractors at work. Thanks Michael
You can loosen them up a fair amount if need be. They survive the landing, but they are more likely to get twisted out of shape.
The easy solution is to fly above the trees, but then the shots aren't as nice. I was sure I was going to have to replace blades , but they were fine. DJI knows you're going to break them, they send an extra set with the drone! 😂
Enjoyed watching the Oliver machinery working flawlessly. What kind of hay where you baling and how do you unload the bale wagon? Do you unload wagon one bale at a time or is it a dump wagon with a hoist?
It's a mix of alfalfa and orchard grass. The bales have to be unloaded one at a time by hand. I sell it straight off the wagon. I give the customer a price break so that I don't have to do it.
I bet city slickers drive by and think, who made that tractor, never saw that color before!
Good looking hay! 2nd or 3rd cutting?
Second.i wanted to get it done sooner but then wheat harvest got here. Then we got rain and the orchard grass was able to grow. That made for a nice blend for horse hay, so it turned out pretty good.
You'd think more people would be rubber necking with a tractor like that out by a main road, but most stated straight ahead. There was a guy with a nice mid 80s Grand Prix that was looking hard. I noticed because I was staring at his car. 😂
Some good looking hay for little to no moisture this year
I was pleasantly surprised. I figured it would all fit in the 2 wagons. Instead I got 4 wagons and 10 round bales.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris more the marrier.
Drone footage is cool! Now you just need to get Mrs. Oliver got to sit in the car and run the drone so you can just drive 🤣
So run it into more trees? 😂 😂 😂
@@ThatOliverGuyChris 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job on the drone flying, except for the little drone vs. tree incident. You certainly involved a lot of different Oliver tractors in one overall hay making operation. Nice to see them all out there working. We used to have an Oliver baler before we bought our Massey in 1976. I think it was a model 50 or 60. It didn't have a bale thrower. Baled a lot of hay with that thing.
Thanks Charlie! I actually used 3 more tractors that I didn't film. The 1600 did the first raking, I ran an empty wagon to the field with the 2-70, and I round baled the remainder with the American. I think that makes 8 tractors. I need to charge more for hay! 😂
I’ve got a question on hydraulics. I have a loader on an 1850. Plugged into the rear hydraulics. The bucket is on the left lever. When lift or lower the loader the bucket tips up. And when you raise the loader and stop it starts to go down. Can this be an easy fix?
That's the nature of the Oliver hydraulics. The seals for the check balls may be bad, or the orings for them. But everything except the settling sounds like the typical loader on an 1850. The best solution is to get a joystick loader valve and plumb it in as a power beyond setup. I have videos on doing that.
Thanks
Enjoyed watching! Chris , was there always swathers? If not what did they use ?
I guess I'm not sure what you mean by swather. The hay mower?
Where'd you get the pink oliver
I painted it for my daughter.
Disclaimer: No drones where harmed in the making of this film.
But it was nervous a couple times. 😂
Trees-2. Drones-0😂😂😂😂😂😂
It didn't hit the first tree, so I consider it a tie. 😂
How do you engage the fwd on the 1655?
There's a knob on the lower part of the dash. Pull out to engage, push in to disengage.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris is it hydraulic actuated?
@@bendunkelman4853 no, it's entirely mechanical. The knob moves a shift rail and collar that locks the output of the transfer case to the gear drive of the main transmission. Usually when disengaging you have to back up a few feet to "unwind" the load on the gears in order to disengage the transfer case.
5 tractor job?
I enjoyed the video.
@@Cinder2008 it was actually a 7 tractor job. I didn't record raking with the 1600, and I used the 2-70 to take an empty wagon to the field. It can be hard to decide which one to drive, so the easiest solution is to drive them all.
