I unloaded right next to the old Oliver Plow Company in South Bend Indiana. Also my load to Florida canceled so I got all weekend to catch up on paperwork.

[@tommarshall333]

Year ago, in Colorado, my Grandfather had one of those plows you showed. That took skill and stamina to plow a field. Once, when I was about 3 or 4 yrs old, I kept "bugging" Grandpa to "let me plow". Soooo, he did..... AND 2 or 3 feet later, both the plow and I were being dragged along the furrow. I can still hear my Grandpa's laugh. My Grandma, bless her, did not whip me, but she really gave Grandpa a tongue lashing! He never once lost his grin.

[@susanbrantley5811]

You just made me giggle

[@261ziggy]

Copied this for ya Dan. "The high-quality Oliver Chilled Plow dominated the market during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its creator, James Oliver, perfected “chilling,” a casting process that created durable iron moldboards and shares that retained a smooth surface during heavy use." Stay well and busy.

[@seagullsbtn]

That's the kind of stuff that teaches us about American industrial history. Very Cool.

[@robertduffin455]

Love your professional attitude to the trucking industry You and Bailey keep safe and safe travels 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@jamesfarnham1976]

I'm always impressed when you are taking off and you are so easy on your equipment. Many truckers stomp on the gas pedal and wind it out to shift and so on. Love your style!! Also really like seeing the outside shots of loading and unloading and backing up. Great videos SuperTD. Jim.

[@mitsnevets]

i love those old factories too its interesting learning the history of them

[@susanbrantley5811]

Very true ☺️

[@susanbrantley5811]

Very true ☺️

[@dirtthunder1638]

A chilled plow as it’s called is a case hardened cast plow. The sticky soil of the Midwest would often stick to cast iron plow. Oliver developed a proses of hardening the outer surface of a cast plow called chilling. This would allow the face of the plow to become very hard and smooth like a mirror and not allow soil to stick on it. It also made it last 3 times longer then other plows. Oliver sold more plows than any manufacturer in the world in his time. Hopefully this helps explain what is the “Chilled Plow.”

[@fulcrumindicate]

Over several years of experimentation, Oliver found that the rate of cooling could be regulated if boiling hot water were circulated through chilling passages as the molten iron was poured into the sand mold. Grooving and ribbing the casting and mold also helped, and allowed the surface to be hardened while the core cooled more slowly, thus creating a smooth-wearing surface with a more resilient internal structure that increased the plow’s strength and durability.

[@debrapetersen3952]

I have 2 Oliver tractors from the 50's. Use the Super55 to plow my trees & started it for the 1st time this year yesterday. Is nice to see all that green grass & green trees.

[@stevefranahlenius7528]

Should get in the habit of dumping the Tractor/Trailer air whenever loading and unloading. Been doing it for years. Keeps the bags and shocks from stretching. Also glad to see I’m not the only one who admits being in the wrong hole. On the straps you cut, cut the excess in 12 inch pieces, and double up when you don’t want chains scratching paint off.

[@darylthisdelle7702]

You took the cancellation in stride good for you, myself I know I would have been upset. You are a professional on so many levels Dan, stay safe.

[@TresPesosInc]

Everyone should take a cancellation into Florida in stride.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Sometimes it is great to get an unexpected break. Gives time to rest and reset. Stay safe Dan.

[@j.d.mullis9446]

Dan,you are a breath of fresh air and common sense. so many of the trucker chanels are young drivers who roll the windows down to hear the exhaust and the jake brakes. They change as any gears as they possibly can. i had forty years on the road and do not want to hear this racket. There are fewer and fewer good trucker channels that interest me. Please do not change your format. Also, Thank You for your service. Air Force here !

[@baileyreport.]

This video is very good. It reminds me of John Steinbeck's novel "Travels With Charlie" which tells a story about a guy and his pooch traveling the country in his motorhome. It contained some of the most inspirational moments imaginable. Would recommend calling your future videos "Travels With Bailey". A cute name for a cute pooch.

[@cuper4295]

Today, we call it quenching instead of chilling, but the effect is the same. Producing a hardened, long wearing edge.

[@toddstepan7712]

Nice piece about Oliver plows. I wish I was as calm as you when loads cancel. After 35 years you would think I learned that part. Have a good ride to S. Dakota.

[@jamesd.hummell4391]

Dan, at the "wrong gear" intersection, to the left was all the Studebaker wagon and car manufacturing back in the day.

[@buddywicket5544]

Used to have a horse drawn studebaker wagon

[@davidschabel4664]

As usual interesting and informative, makes me wish I was back driving, just turned 79, enjoying driving my new recliner, thanks Dan, pull toy here

[@susanbrantley5811]

Hello

[@leonardprovost2634]

Didn’t they make tractors ( I’m old) !I grew up surrounded by 5 acres and mowed 1 more glad to see you enjoy the nature walk! Sure lowers the blood pressure!

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

Gotta love Bailey; she's so sweet! And, nice for you to have somewhat of a break to reset.

[@darcybonneteau7334]

You have such a great attitude towards life,work , your K9 friends and your family 👌👍 keep up the great job you do for all of us to enjoy 😊

[@janeweldon8874]

Bailey is such a sweet little dog! Glad you had a restful weekend!

[@hawaii3100]

"no-end" straps are very handy for plastic pipe loads. A binder winch on both ends keep's the load centered.

[@OperatorPuski]

Keep that excess strap and you can use that to winch on both sides. Good to use on the center of a load to provide equal pulling force on both sides.

[@williamburnett6616]

I live in South bend the ABC Supply Co. Is on the spot where the Oliver's foundry used to be at it close in 1977 and move to Minneapolis as white tractor Co. Look out for trains above you. Have a great day in my home town. Remember safety is number one on the road. And after you left and turn right on 23 you drove by where the old Studebaker foundry's set .

[@frfrpr]

SuperTrucker Dan, solid, consistent filmwork. I appreciate the videos.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Dan we used to have an all Oliver tractor When I was a kid growing up on the farm. Good piece of equipment for back then

[@johnferreira2044]

Growing up on the farm my dad had a couple of them Oliver plows, That's what I try to do With old factories and try to stop at landmarks, Look at the history, You sure your AC load canceled , or the got somebody to truck it cheaper 😂😂😁 be safe Dave

[@stevenbuis4490]

One of my uncles was very successful farmer. Bought nothing but Oliver tractors

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

Thanks for the video Dan, nice to see a fresh one from you. About the plows, as I suspected it had to do with the foundry process where he did the casting of the blade in a manner that made it hard and wear resistant on the cutting edge but strong in the middle by being softer. So the "Chilled" refers to the manner in which the casting was allowed to cool in order to achieve the wear and strength properties which are desirable in a plow blade. It is quite a story, so I appreciate you sharing it and making me aware of it. Your travels, videos and stories are meaningful to us stuck indoors right now, keep it up! Kind regards, South Africa

[@codyway7424]

Bull Moose Tube in Trenton, GA is extremely SLOW as well. Brokers have a tough time covering their loads.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Holy crap Dan, my daughter was watching this with me and seen your lovely Bailey, she screamed SO CUTEEEEE . Lol.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks Bailey Ia a cutie

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

If you're ever in the Kalamazoo area on a weekend and you like cars you should check out the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners. Its an amazing place on 90 acres.

[@francisremillard2010]

Thank you for showing us the Oliver Plow Factory. Looked it up & found it to be very interesting....

[@chriskahlson]

Great video and companion, mans best friend

[@ICRedsox]

Early morning video!!! Nice surprise on my overnight shift!!

[@larrysierens1029]

I'm from south bend the area you're in only LOOKS nice

[@admiral_kiss_it5029]

Lol yes..looks are Deceiving..lol good thing it was day time around old Sample St. Lol

[@tommarshall333]

You are the 2nd Long Hauler, I watch on KZbin, who is going to South Dakota. The other is an owner operator Heavy Hauler from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. He deadheaded to S.D. to pickup a 105,000lb machine. With his trailer and attachments, he will be 107 ft. long going back to Canada. Hope YOUR trip goes/went well. I enjoy your Vlogs.

[@sidwalker6902]

Bailey don't have to go far to stretch her legs.

[@HunterAtheist]

I lol'd.

[@tommanion5504]

My first thought, at the plow factory, was Oliver Wendal Douglas. I paused the video to check Wikipedia, I had barely started typing, when Oliver Wendal Douglas popped up. For those whippersnappers who don't know who that is, think "Gre-e-e-en Acres".

[@sziltner]

The Oliver Plow Company Museum or whatever needs some TLC. Weed city! Ex brother in law had Oliver tractors on his dairy farm in Southern Wisconsin. He always said it was the best tractor made.

[@petermarshall7005]

Good to see Bailey enjoying her time on the road with you and the Peterbilt i miss the train of the day looking forward to its return enjoy your weekend off and those old implement makers have a lot of history to tell Cheers from Sydney Australia..

[@danielvrana9444]

John Deere made the first self cleaning plow!!! Made in Moline IL. Part of the Quad Cities same place of Sears Seating! Hint, Hint.... lol

[@michaeldavenport5034]

RV/MV Museum located in Elkhart, Indiana. Takes about 3 hours to go through. Complete history of RVing. Lots of vehicles and trailers open for walk throughs. Right off of the turnpike. Thanks for the info and tour on the plows.

[@areyes1979ar]

Awesome plow company history love the videos Dan please keep them rolling. You and Bailey be safe on the road.

[@johnmeadows5645]

Oliver made a fine farm tractor. There are still a lot of them in use on farms all over the country.

[@admiral_kiss_it5029]

It's crazy how many fans live in South Bend. I am another one. U are like 5 mins. From my house. Crazy how in this big world we live in, to find out how small it seems. And like other comments, alot lot of old factories right around there. Along with the campus of Notre Dame..."yes from the movie Rudy" right down the road about 10 mins. Keep trucking and safe travels

[@alvinjenkins8005]

Having Bailey with you is good company. She so cute. Enjoy you reset. Stay Safe

[@onetuliptree]

Hope you had a nice weekend, the Oliver Chilled Plow Works was interesting, and nice park for you and Bailey!

[@LetsTalkGoats]

Delivered down that road a lot at Core and main

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Unreal that hot water is used. But being over 2000 degrees difference in Temp. That would be a chilling effect on the iron. Thanks for showing that plant.

[@richardorourke4571]

Feels good lay in your bunk Not worry about what time u havet Too get up. Relax and enjoy it

[@richardhaag3959]

This video brought to you by Dorsey trailers for all your trailer needs Dorsey trailers

[@HunterAtheist]

It's great that he has a sponsor that he can stand behind, and is incredibly relevant to the channel.

[@tomholt5809]

Bailey seems like a really sweet little dog

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

We had a company that made straps however we wanted them. We had special hooks on 16 inch long straps to secure roll off containers on trucks and trailers.

[@kevinfrawley6098]

Its good you got your reset Bailey locks happy.... too much traffic in Florida anyway..Alot of people moving here before. Now there are alot more

[@bengone3349]

Dan, I just read the history of Oliver. Very interesting story with a number of mergers etc that led to the end.

[@shawnhoeppner4293]

Love u walk show u history

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Dan /Bailey !!! Enjoy your weekend as best you can !!! Hope next week goes without a ""HITCH"" !! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!

[@stuartpulvermacher6861]

How much lighter is your Dorsey compared to your Fontaine I really love your videos you are a class act

[@Norcent00]

You were out in my area i grew up near by. But have moved to a larger town still in indiana.

[@dennisclark8003]

On most trailers over here (UK Europe) the trailer height is adjustable using the air bags and a set height control. raise or lower. To prevent damage to mud wings or tyres, the trailer height resets on it's own after driving for a short while.

[@JamesSmith-jq2jc]

Interesting. It would be neat to find a place that could sew some ends, the metal holders, on those cut off remains. You could even save them from straps that have worn out, or as I would do find them along my travels. It's amazing what one can stumble upon in their travels.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Both of you take care.

[@brucecook9415]

Nice one super trucker Dan nice hearing from you again cheers Bruce from New Zealand 😉

[@Oheeeoh]

Thumbs up for Dan and Bailey!

[@mitsnevets]

i get all my equip from Tri City canvas too , i use the chain style 4in straps exclusively as i like the versatility of chain rather than the flat hooks

[@chrisryanst]

Now it's the Dan and Bailey channel ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@SFtruckerWolf]

Where I live. if you make the belt short, it will not anymore be counted the same strenght. 4000 kg belt come 1000 kg belt.

Good video. Have a safe trip. 👍🏻

[@davidwpinkston4226]

it should be noted that oliver improved the john deere invention

[@derrickodyes1934]

chilled as in cold rolled plow share rather than hot forged

[@BRadWilson3]

Have you ever stopped at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum in Dayton? That's a good place to check out

[@alanciner1835]

You've got the best travel partner in Bailey. Corgis are the best! Ours used to love taking rides. Chicago to Dallas, no problem.

[@khwoods01]

Nice on the reset. Safe travels

I love the turbo whistle

[@mongomay1]

Thanks Dan, Check out to see if there are any pet friendly restaurants in the area that have an outdoor area like in Florida.

[@shoey64]

Dan you were only 15 minutes from my home. I wish I new I would have loved to meet you. Dan I live in Niles just down the road from JD'S.

[@docholiday1034]

Great pup....👍👍

[@paulroggemann1017]

"chilled steel" = cast iron.

[@williamwallace5779]

Thanks for the tip with the straps I haul air conditioner out of Pueblo for my company and will have to try this also another use that I saw this week when I was in Washington I saw a guy using chains on squar steel load and using those instead of binders which I also thought was a great idea. Got me thinking of also using them on coils but not sure wouldn't mind another flatbeders opinion on that though

[@wbball15]

Great stuff, Dan.

[@danielloveall2952]

I love It Dan your a good teacher

[@devtrash]

Bailey was 'Good lord man! I'm tangled here, let's get a move on!'

[@SICILN]

I think a chilled plow means it’s cast iron

Sitting here at Bull Moose waiting to ge loaded and watching this video

[@SuperTruckerdan]

hey can be slow good luck thanks for watching

[@ash7700]

261ziggy's on the money about James Oliver. Eventually, via acquisition of a number of agricultural equipment companies (including the Hart Parr Tractor Company in Charles City Iowa), his company became the Oliver Corporation. I owned several over the years.

[@Embermist69]

Staring out/whatever in wrong gear is always fun. Like I have before tried to start in 6th gear. That's embarrassing.

[@dukebass4564]

I would think that any receiving dock would have a aluminum load ramp to put in between their dock and the rear of the trailer to compensate for any height variation, that was always my experience?
