That looks like a real pain. The 1955 looks super nice. We had a 1950 4wd and it was gutless. Anytime you hit a soft spot in the field, down shift.....thank goodness for the over/under.
That’s a great job with what room you had! Camera on plow was perfect and listening to the Oliver bark was the best I will have to watch video several more times!!! Thanks for recording and sharing!!
Great job Ethan! Reminds me of when we claimed some pasture ground that was about 3 to 4 acres. If I remember correctly, we rented an 1855 and a four bottom once we got that far. Big, big job getting it to that point.
What is the latest on the 2255 progress? We just rolled our 2255 mfwd out of the shop last night…… fresh 3208 t with the exhaust out the original hole and aircleaner too……. Taking it to the national oliver show in candidaigua ny on sunday …… its not restored yet but its the first it ran in30 yrs or so
If you could make it to candidaigua we would treat ya to a steak dinner ……. We also have the 3208 that was the oliver repower for parts if ya need any……
That will be good ground just going by the sod you turned! A fella might do himself a great service by checking them black areas with a metal detector though, If they were burning garbage lumber, it could have had tons of nails in it & we all know how good they are for tires. But.... I suspect a somewhat more nefarious undertaking of Guerilla Grow-Op. type farming especially after seeing the hose by the base of that tower & a dug pond LOL
@@Oliver66FarmBoy There you are wrong, gypsum does nothing to ground PH levels. Gypsum adds only sulfur & calcium, also removes sodium from the soil. Saves a lot of time from going over a field numerous times burning fuel
Came out looking pretty good for the first pass in lord knows how long. I'm sure you considered chisel plow to break through the hard pan. Just curious if that would help it drain better or not. See you soon.
U know what sucks when ur plowing is when u are in the back forty and wonder y the tractor isn't moving unless u hit the brakes so u get out and notice ur whole wheel is about a foot of coming off bc the center is cracked were the locks are
Years ago, my partner and I got a new piece of ground. As things worked out, headed up there bout midnight. Note to self Stop When You See Cat Tails. Ha!
Not unlike some ground we rented from neighbors where I grew up. It hadn't been farmed in years and had small bushes growing up here and there. Took a couple of years of picking roots, etc. and it gradually came around. As you said, not pretty, but once you get it worked down and leveled...should make a decent piece for hay.
If you look back in your video around the 1927 to 1931 mark you plow something up that was round look like a piece of metal but not sure but good video good job plowing
CAUTION I WAS PLOWING AND THE PLOW PLUGED I WENT OUT TO KICK THE PLUG OUT AND MY PANT LEG CAUGHT COVER BOARD AND CUT MY LEG TO THE BONE. ALMOST BLEED TO DEATH. GREAT VIEDOS AND CONTENT.
Your hoses are catching on the tire when making left turns. 15:00 Since it's going into hay I'd disk it, let it settle a bit, then run the chisel plow through it to catch areas where the plow was lifted and work closer to the towers. I've cussed plenty of times thinking they'll level out and never does.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy In our neck of the woods there was alot of JohnDeere IH and AC tractors pulling oliver plows We had a 516 Oliver plow we pulled with our ACs!!
The couple of feet you get, when you get close to the lags of the power line, is not worth it, thats just sad. and the power line is there for us all, and if they have to get a truck in there and work on the power line, they will have a hard time, your stupid.
Yes because going across a hard flat hay field is so much worse than tracking through an unmaintained patch of 5 foot tall weeds, brambles and saplings. You’re an idiot.
Excellent job
Im a John Deere man too the core, but I could listen to that Old Oliver for hours on end!

Thanks for watching
Just curious is that an Oliver plow
Boy you and the 1955 had some hard work plowing up that ground. Love the sound of the old girl. Once again great video.
Great job Ethan! Reminds me of when we claimed some pasture ground that was about 3 to 4 acres. If I remember correctly, we rented an 1855 and a four bottom once we got that far. Big, big job getting it to that point.
Always a chore bringing neglected ground back into shape.
I could listen to that tractor all day, what a beautiful song she sings.
Yep
Love the video thank you for sharing!👍🏻
Great video 💯📸✌🏻💚🌱 looks like nice progress
Make her talk, buddy. Sounds good be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Thanks.
I’d be a nervous Nelly with hawks eyes with all of the rebar I saw you move out of there. Nice job!
Awesome job
Engine burns really clean, obviously maintained well.

There is no 2255 progress…

Spread some gypsum, work once with a disc, let sit, then rework with a disc as many times as you want, the gypsum will help break up any "clods".
A disk will do the same thing without dicking around with gypsum and unless soil pH needs corrected the gypsum is a waste of money anyhow.

Ethan definitely looks like some pain in the backside plowing to me. I bet you're quite happy to be completed with the plowing. Thanks Michael
I’m glad it’s over.
It’s kind of the field I would need a cooler full of barley pops to consume while plowing.
Or a beer and a burger after finishing with a good milkshake for dessert.
You got to plow it the best way that you can

Getting rid of the roots is always the hardest part.
For small stuff like that you need a 3 or 4 bottom roll over plow !
Not really.

I'm surprised you didn't hit a grounding ring or anything going under those towers. But that's a good thing lol.
It was part of the forest before the towers. Maybe they burned out the large tree stups that was leftover.
Sometimes pretty doesn’t matter. The dirts upside down and that’s all that matters. Once the hays in no one will ever know.
Yep
Looks good to me! Farming around power towers sucks.

👏👏
I didn't know a guy could farm through towers like that.
Radioactive grass that is!😂
I figured that those dugout sports were from where they were burning.
If you go to any of the holes and dig through it you will probably find cans and wire and stuff that didn't burn.
Forgot to say good job Farm Boy!
Once you disc it, it should look great!
Your hoses are catching on the tire when making left turns. 15:00

You can’t get a chisel plow back there…
iwould ask him if you could run tile line to the wood it would be short run you have the minie
The woods are higher than the pond so you’re gonna have to draw me a diagram explaining how you plan to push water up hill.
If only Oliver offered a differential lock….
Could you drain the pond with your mini
Just farm around it and be done.
Good job I think it looks great, Oliver plows pull easier and turn things under better.
Thanks
@@Oliver66FarmBoy In our neck of the woods there was alot of JohnDeere IH and AC tractors pulling oliver plows We had a 516 Oliver plow we pulled with our ACs!!
It would have been. Better in the 2255 was running
I don’t see why?
Need 2 thousand pounds of rear wheel weights
Ploughing may be ugly but once it's disced it will be fine
Yep
Got. A bog in the middle
You don’t say.
I would send a city slicker a bill for cleaning up his land
I’m farming the ground…. Why would I make him pay for it? Do you ever have anything intelligent to say?
I think Rantoul pulls easier
Until your in the back field where the concrete is buried.

Save the "pretty" plow results for the armchair critics. Good enough... is good enough for your purposes. You will fix and improve the results. Enjoy!
Thanks
