Hi Pete, Anyone coming across this must at least take a view at this wonderful collection, a must see! This is a superb collection, and I know most UK farmers wouldn’t be able to afford the shed to house them apart from the tractors themselves! The father certainly knows the right people and asks the right questions at the right moment and from what I seem to green, lives in the centre of his ‘buying range’ and with great knowledge and judgement has put together a wonderful collection of tractors and trucks with almost unbelievably short running hours, just amazing.
these guys are such salt of the earth people it brings tears to my eyes thinking of all the americans these people represent, and have made america what it is. with our current political situation to have these people represent my country brings pride and prejudice to my heart to love my country and strive to be the person I should be.
Thankyou for this video, it was awesome. We have kept our family equipment from years ago. Our prize is my grandfathers JD 40. We use it quite a bit around the farm.
I enjoyed this video on Olivers also. I grew up on a small dairy farm in N/W Ala and my father bought a new Super 55 in the early spring of 1955. It had some bugs because it was a first run , the clutch was too stiff, the lift had several problems early on, the steering was too weak in the drag arms the front axel was weak. Oliver caught these bugs and cleared them up and we litterly wore the tractor out pulling silage choppers over the next 10 years. Many times has the motor been torn down and rings put on the pistons, we did most of the work in the latter years because the dealer died and no one picked up the deallership in our area. Oliver was great in allowing us to order parts directly from the warehouse in Memphis. Been there many times to pick-up parts for dad and friends that had Olivers. White managed to ruin a great company and product.
I spent many many hours in a 4440 Deere plowing and picking peanuts in Southeast Alabama. Love them. It’s awesome they have those two low hour tractors
We were not so called large farmers , but we averaged about 600 hours per year per tractor... we raised cotton, soybeans, wheat, and rice... most of the hours were from running Row crop cultivators plowing cotton and soybeans....
I know these guys good people . Bought equipment several times from Swindell farm equipment over the years ,never se.en all the equipment the had . Would like to make a trip to look around , especially the Oliver's .
There is a fellow near Richwood, Ohio that has 60 or so Olivers from the 1940s and 1950s. 44s thru 99s, rice tractors and several orchard tractors. Gas, diesel, LP.
i just got my uncles 3020 with 2400 hours. he bought a brand new john deere 48 loader moved 1 dump truck load of limestone and took it off. we had to dig through the shed to get to it it was really buried behind lumber and stuff.
love me some olivers! They have one nice collection. Did you happen to catch the model the FWA was that is in-front of the 4440 did you? I know it it a 2050 or 2150 but not sure witch one..
When my Dad started farming, he bought a used demo Oliver 66, and a brand new Oliver77 Diesel. My brother still has the 66 but the 77 went to a local collector.

You walked right beside the best tractor in there and didn't look it over. I would love to have heard the story on that John Deere R.
Amazing collection!

Joe you should use F 11 on your collection and it will heip keeping the dust off of your wonderful collection
Friend of the family has a 4440 he reclaims strip jobs. He keeps it immaculate!
What about the massey
I am digging the manure spreaders suspended over head
It would've been nice to hear the story of that MF 1155.
You know you have too much equipment when you have to hang manure spreaders from the ceiling to make space.
Who cares about the JD anymore! Make a full video on all of those olivers!
When my Dad started farming, he bought a used demo Oliver 66, and a brand new Oliver77 Diesel. My brother still has the 66 but the 77 went to a local collector.
What was the year on the 4440?
+52komatsu Not sure, wasn't able to crawl around and catch the SN#. Will see if I can find out from Joe
is that a cockshutt 428 combine at 15:12 behind all the tires?
I have met them people and they are good people!!
Would like to see collection
How much is a 800 hour 4440 worth?? We have had one my entire life on the dairy farm but i'm guessing 30k plus hours haha
Hey I have a 4440 johndeere too!!
my grand father has a 52 ford retractible with 2512 miles on it
Some friends of mine have a John Deere 4430 with 1100 original hours and a 4630 with 1300 original hours
