Thanks for your great of baling hay. Just like we did years ago, however we had to walk through the field and pick it up and stack on the hay wagon. Hard work. I worked many years in hay and tobacco growing up. Good memories. Thanks again for your video.
Brings back memories of helping the neighbor . He custom baled for people. Me and my brothers were a good source of labor. I like the older equipment. At least you can work on it. This big new equipment is more like playing than farming to me at least. Lol. Darn expensive toys. 🙂
The early Oliver’s had continentals, most had Waukesha’s. Oliver had a partnership with Waukesha. Then later the larger models had a variety including Detroits, Caterpillar, Perkins, Hercules.
Nice to see you with a video out. And GREAT to see the Olivers back in action. That 77 was just purring! I also liked that Stackliner wagon. Sure looks like it saves a lot of work.
Thanks Craig. It’s still strange coming around the corner and not seeing the buildings. Urban sprawl is rolling across this area like a steam roller, old county roads are now littered with roundabouts, and wall to wall houses.
I used my Ford 6700 BPS with the larger 268 cid engine on our JD 336 baler and picked them upwith a NH 1005 bale wagon pulled by a For 4600 SU diesel doing around 15,000 bales a year, Dad drove the baler, I picked them up and stacked on the dairy barn mow, My wife & Mother ran the bale wagon unloading all due to a lack of help tell our sons got big enough to help, On a good after noon we could do 1,000 bales and still get the milking done.
@@crazydave4455 we used to custom stack 50,000+ bales plus 30,000+ of our own every year, most was machine loaded on to semis. Had to have good stacks. Needless to say, we didn't blow very many. But if we did, guarantee it was 95° out..
In the 40s we started with Deere, but the Oliver’s won. 😁 Also had a 3020 until the mid 90s. I have my Great grandpas brass tag b from the other side of the family.
Glad to see a new video. I used to ride the rack behind a New Holland 66 a lot in my HS days 40yrs ago. It was old and slow then. Hated having to deal with grass hay as it was more slippery than alfalfa and the bales were prone to popping out the side and bursting as well is they seemed heavier. Dad had the baler set to make longer bales so that could have been a factor there too. A hot day of chaff blowing in your face stacking on the rack seems bad but I thought it was better than stacking bales in the barn loft were it was even hotter and no breeze. Once helped the neighbor bale straw and he had a JD baler probably older than yours. I do recall the arm on the top but seem to recall some open shaft or chain. I rode rack there too and cannot recall what tractor he was using on the baler. That neighbor, much like my Dad had random brands of stuff. I only remember seeing a bale stacker like that 1 time in the general area I am from. Those came out about the same time as round bales took off in popularity and soon became the norm instead of small squares.
That stacker wagon was bought new from the Chevy dealer in town (which was also a New Holland dealer) around 1974. Been in service ever since. Sure was nice backing into a hay shed and not have if to handle each bale. And for sure the hay lofts are killer on hot summer days. Thanks EE.
Well long time no hear Dave, i wasn't sure if that Oliver was a 1600 or a 1555, nice looking tractor, im going to my Nephew and his fiance wedding on Saturday in Nome ND there's an old schoolhouse there thats been restored, have you ever heard of Tim Fluegels channel or Hartung Dairy? There awesome channels thanks for sharing this video Dave 🚜👍
Easier to load spilled, but when the trailer gets tall we load right of the wagon. Also don’t want a stack falling on a customer. But I get what you’re saying.
Great to see some of the Olivers still stretching their legs! My tractors will be at Rose City Threshing this year, if you make it to the pull Saturday July 29th Dan and I will be volunteering there this year and pulling.
Thanks Bill. That’s the week after the Wright County fair, so it maybe open 🤔 Have a water pump ready to be installed in the super 66, so that one will be in pulling shape soon.
@crazydave4455 we also camp out up there. We usually stay on Friday and Saturday night in my fish house. I'm looking at a Super 77 diesel... has bad tires, and I'm negotiating on it. If things work out I'm going to be looking forward to pulling with it!
@@BillTheTractorMan tires are now half the value in some cases. We are thinking about collecting the super series. Family friend has a super 44, which would be one of the hardest to get. Only issue which with these old diesels is the American Bosch pumps. No parts for the old PSB-6. I will have at least one core here (maybe 2) if you end up needing PSB-6 parts. 👍
@crazydave4455 That's a downside to the diesels, I'll take it, though. I have a higher turnover of diesel than gas. I hate to let gas sit in anything longer than a mo th or two these days. The last set of tires I bought was for my 770, with Tubes, they were nearly $1,500!
I love the combo there. I'd like to be on a 1650 or 1750 with that baler though, maybe bigger if I could round up a basket to tow behind. Sure like the Olivers though.
I work for a farmer that had an Oliver tractor that ran in LP fuel. I like the machine that the eliminated my job that I did 40 years ago automatically picks up the bales and stacks them nearly on the trailer. But then the purpose is defeated when you got a transfer the bales by hand from one trailer to another.....🫤
@@crazydave4455 Yes! To stack all those bales against a wall indoors in the building is definitely the win/win. Yeah that's when I used to be able to have a good back and to be able to deal with ninety-degree heat with 80% humidity pulling those 70 lb bales off the baler and stacking them on the wagon with no sides turning them 90° with each course.
Sound of a square baler running is one you can never forget.
For sure, the springs slapping and squeaks of the bale wagon are equally burned in my memory.
The sounds are like yesterday the pickup springs, the surging, Imcan almost smell the fresh hay!❤ Those Waukesha motors purr.
Oliver made good tractors if you take care of them they will out live all of us looks like you take good care of them awsome
That 1555 is one of our newer ones. Only had it about 30 years 😁 oldest is another 77 that was bought new in 1954. That is 69 years of service!

Payments are nicer on the old stuff 🤣 Most of the equipment in this video was bought and paid for before I was born.
Thanks Joel
Alright!!!! A CrazyDave video!!!!
It’s only been 8 months 🤣 not much I can put up that you haven’t already. Except some 1555 action 😁😂
Many thanks to the creators of these machines
Thanks great video
Thanks Toy farmer
Had a 1550 diesel with matching Oliver bailer. Great setup! Thanks for sharing the video.
always liked the sound of the Oliver motors. wonder who made their motor.
The early Oliver’s had continentals, most had Waukesha’s. Oliver had a partnership with Waukesha. Then later the larger models had a variety including Detroits, Caterpillar, Perkins, Hercules.
DAVE!! Good to see you!
Its been a challenging spring, not much time for the old UA-cam lately. Thanks Ed.
Nice job. 2 people.
Hi Dave glad to see you got another video out and awesome to see the Oliver tractors at work again 👍👍👍 thanks Michael
Thanks Micheal

Thanks Charile, that bale wagon has helped prevent backaches since 1974!
@@crazydave4455 That's awesome. Doesn't look that old.
What a beautiful tractor!!!
Look at that a lot of people want to watch the old Oliver in action
Good turn out for a quiet channel. 👍
Love the Olivers, but that Stackliner is slick!
Starting another season right now!
Nice 1555!
👍
Nice work!
As always I enjoy watching your videos sir, I hate that things worked out the way they did and the farm is gone
Thanks Craig. It’s still strange coming around the corner and not seeing the buildings. Urban sprawl is rolling across this area like a steam roller, old county roads are now littered with roundabouts, and wall to wall houses.
@@crazydave4455 So sad
The stack wagon completes the 1970’s theme. And the sweet sound of a small square baler running to add with it.
Nice Dave the old tractor and bailer are working great! Nice to see back!
Thanks Keith
Good to see you guys hard at it. Lots of nice weather to make dry hay, but we haven't had rain in about a month.
Yeah, it’s really dry over here as well. I know they got some a little further south. We need some bad!
Man those Olivers are pretty
Thanks Dave
Neat to see the old equipment running 😃
They like the exercise 😂
Great to see a video from you again.
Thanks Dexta

BTW, We single bale unloaded onto an elevator up into the mow that joined a mow elevator that kicked the bales off.
That’s a lot of hay!
Good to see the old equipment still getting it done. Blown stacks... Actually works well when hand stacking into trailers.. safer anyway 👍
Fast way to round them up, when the trailers get tall, sometimes just pull them off the stacker.

Thank you very much! I just saw one of your videos pop up, Cockshutt tractors. Will be checking it out. Subbed
@@crazydave4455 You’re welcome! Thanks for checking them out
Love them 336 John Deere balers
Been great, had it more than 40 years
Hey, what a nice surprise. I never tire of watching Oliver’s work. And that Stackliner!
👍

Like everyone else it's awesome to see classic stuff still working. I just finished my hat last week. All small squares
Still a market for them.

Hi Matt, sounds like a cool place for a wedding and yes I have. Thanks
Vieux matériel en état de fonctionnement parfait ... Bonjour de Belgique
Il nous a bien servi au fil des ans. Merci d'être passé et pour le commentaire. Bonjour du Minnesota, États-Unis.
Try putting pieces of fence panels between every 3rd row & see if that keeps them from spilling when your unloading the bale wagon!!
Easier to load spilled, but when the trailer gets tall we load right of the wagon.
Also don’t want a stack falling on a customer. But I get what you’re saying.
Yessir, I understand your philosophy now!!
Spent many hours at the backside of a 4020 and a 336 . Those were the weights I lifted.

A lot of times we run a White 2-110 on it, sure is nice with the 3 speed.
@@crazydave4455 LOL Wish I was a neighbor so I could come help.
Have the same tractor and use a 24-T jd baler
Not hard to make dry hay in this weather we can’t even get a dew in the mornings and I forgot what rain looks like 🤦♂️
It’s terribly dry. I’ve mowed the grass once this year. Need some rain soon or the baler can go back in storage for the year….

Still faster to collect them that way, than to pick them one by one. Used to be used on the farm (gone now) to stack them right in the hay shed.
