Our main hay baling tractor when I was a kid was an Oliver 880 with a John Deer 312(?) baler towing a flat wagon. Corn picking with the Oliver one fall (mounted New Idea two row) one of the transmission gears broke (common on that model since they switched from straight to helical gears for noise reduction and calculated wrong). So then we used our Ferguson TO-35 to run the baler and drop bales in the field for pickup. I have that Ferguson now and it's still running: plowing, disking, planting, and brush hogging.
@@jvin248 the TO-35’s are great tractors! You can still buy a new 35 to this day overseas. Just not in the US. I hadn’t ever heard about the Oliver 880’s having that problem but it makes sense. There wasn’t many Oliver’s around here when I was growing up. Ford and Massey Ferguson dominated all the sales around here.
She never missed a beat, awesome video, thank you sir 👍😁
You're welcome! I was kind of surprised myself. I knew it would pull the baler, I just didn't expect it to pull it as easily as it did.
