- This is part 2 of a 2-part video in which I'll continue the history of tractors on this farm. This video will deal with all the Olivers and Whites, which started coming here in 1954.
What a great collection of tractors you have put together.i had several uncles that dairy farmed in upstate New York (finger lakes area) and they had several Oliver's. I worked many summers with them, and they were the first tractors I ever drove. Oliver's have a special place in my heart. I'm 74, and now reside in California. I love your videos, they bring back great memories. God bless you and you our family as you continue to work the land... Gordon
Thank you, Gordon. I have farmed with Olivers all my life and they certainly hold a special place in my heart as well. Glad you are enjoying my videos and I will try to continue to make worthwhile videos. Hope to hear from you again.
That’s some great tractor history. Interesting that back in the day, a small farmer could buy a new tractor or two and still financially make a go of it. Times have changed…
They sure have changed. I'm glad you enjoyed the history. I hoped people would.
Charlie, it's interesting to hear your stories with the tractors. Thanks Michael
Glad you enjoyed them, Michael. I do enjoy telling them and just hoped they would interest people. As always, thanks for being here.
Beautiful machines!
Got the 2-180 ready for the ride
Thanks Dave! Well, I'm very much looking forward to our ride. However, I'll probably just take the Oliver 66 again. If I took the White 2-110, the rest of the babies would be crying because I have a cab and they don't. Looking forward to seeing the Oliver 1800T (if that's the one you're bringing).
@@pagrainfarmer Going to run the 180 this time
Great work Charlie 👏 👍 👌 Nice to meet you 😂
Thank you, and nice to meet you, too. Welcome to the channel. Hope we see you back here again!
Nice video of your tractor collection. It's great to see people still appreciate and use the older machines.
Well I definitely use my Olivers/whites. I enjoy farming with older tractors and equipment. Compared to today’s tractors, mine are simple, reliable, and easy to work on. Plus, unlike a lot of newer tractors in this country, mine are all paid for, as well as my equipment.
@@pagrainfarmer Good points.
Those tractors look still new and powerful, thanks for telling this story
Well, I always try to keep them in out of the weather when not in use and I do everything to keep them well-maintained mechanically. They all run pretty well. (and I have an excellent Oliver mechanic as a close friend). Thanks for watching and commenting.
That is so cool! Great family history. The 50 series Oliver was my favorite because that engine (mine was diesel) always started and ran so smoothly. I grew up with Oliver’s and have owned five. You could host tours in that shed…like a living farm history collection.
My wife always jokes that when something happens to me, she is going to keep the Red Shed just as it is, and name it "The Charlie Oliver Museum". But there is a history in there and each and every piece of equipment has a story behind it. You're right, with the six cylinders, Olivers always ran smooth compared to most of the 4 or 2 cylinder competitors.
Awesome!!! Love hearing all the stories. Now you just need about 25 more 😂😂😂
I'll get right on that, but some guy in southern Indiana (I think his name is Russ or something) is scarfing all the Olivers and Whites up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy your videos on Oliver 😊
Thank you. Glad you like them.
Nice collection! You certainly can get attached to a tractor.
Yeah, that sure is true!
You have a very nice line of tractors. Thanks for keeping them in great shape. I enjoyed hearing about the history of them.
Although my tractors are not in "show room" condition, I do try to maintain and take care of them as best I can. I'm glad you enjoyed the history.
That was awesome hearing about the history of all your Oliver there and one Farmall I think it’s only one thing you can do Charlie. I think you’re gonna have to increase the size of the red shed to make room for some more Olivers
My good friend Dan agrees with you whole-heartedly on that one. He constantly tells me I need to build a lean-to onto it. It seems no matter how big you make a shed, it's never big enough.
Thank for sharing. Always a fan of farm history
Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
really cool story about the history on those tractors awesome
thanks for sharing
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Another great video sir now to be fair I would trade any of my kids before my grandfather's 1950 Oliver 66 😂
Thank you! Well, to be honest, there were times when I felt the same, especially at times when one of my sons ticked me off.
Great video! Thank you for sharing! I am still working on mine, mentally trying to piece together some interesting information. The tractors and places are all gone now and I only have a few pictures.
Well, I'm looking forward to your video. The story is still there, even if the tractor and places are gone. That's what's important.
@@pagrainfarmer that's true, thank you.
Great video Charlie, thanks for the very unique history of the Olivers and White
Thank you, Jan. Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed telling the stories.
👌👍
Thanks Jan!
