I’m sure it could be done if the plow and hitch were set right. In furrow plows pull easier as well. Try it in the heavy clay soil of my area and we’re talking 4-16” lol, possibly even 3 if it’s deep

I'm an Oliver guy through and through, but Allis Chalmers also had a lot of innovations they brought to the tractor industry. They pioneered the use of rubber tires, first to use a factory turbocharger, and invented the power shift rear wheels. That's one of the big reasons I like Allis and Oliver so much, they were innovators for the industry.

This is honestly fascinating. The description said you got this from and old VHS, but it's clear that the film predates home video. I wonder how they disseminated this information to potential customers in the pre-home-video days? Would they invite local farmers to the dealership to watch the film? Maybe this was meant primarily to be viewed by salesmen?
@dwightl58634 жыл бұрын
Dealerships would sponsor a tractor day. John Deere Days was one I recall as a kid. The dealer would rent the local movie theater for a few afternoons and show films of the new equipment that was available. Then a trip to the dealers facilities where sloppy joes, baked beans, cake, coffee, etc, would be served and the farmers could see some of the new equipment and "kick the tires". Usually held in the winter when there was some slack time on the farm. Really loved going to John Deere Days with my Dad.

@@dwightl5863 The Oliver equivalent was the Growing 'O'. I have a home video my dad took of one mid-1960s Growing 'O' on my channel. It was a travelling show around the country. They would first run the local dealers through so they could use them to answer questions when the growers came through.

We had a 1350 Oliver with a factory loader on it on our ranch growing up, grandaddy bought in 71’. It’s still there today and still working, it has about 4500 hours on it, and runs like a champ, we added remotes to the rear and a canopy. It’s always been a hay/utility tractor, had a set of forks on the front, great for limbs and hay rolls. Granny ain’t selling either
