WHITE 185 Tractor Chisel Plowing

[@nellsonstout7001]

If there’s one implement from one brand I associate the most with Midwestern ag and the corn belt, it’s the Glencoe Soil Saver. Nothing even comes close.

[@benjackson8103]

Where can you buy the spring reset shanks for these ploews?

[@nellsonstout7001]

@@benjackson8103 good question, but I’d say finding parts shouldn’t be too hard. There were a lot of these built.

[@gehaberl]

Those were great tractors. When I was a kid we had a 2-135 fwa and a 2-180 2wd. They traded for a 160 2wd and 185 fwa both had the 8.3 Cummins. Loved that sound. Later traded the 185 for a 170 workhorse. And added a 2-155 and a 120 2wd with the 5.9 Cummins. That 5.9 sure was snappy too. Great tractors

[@rongrose3746]

White and Glencoe. Great combination!!

[@ScottPykare]

I haven't seen a GLENCOE chisel plow in a long time. Great tillage team.

[@bucklcj1]

My grandfather worked as the production manager at white new idea in coldwater ohio. I was in there once on a Saturday with him, and I thought it was awesome seeing these things sitting on the factory floor ready to be shipped out. I was a little kid and I always will remember that.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool experience to see these tractors new right at the factory. Thank you for sharing.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

BTP Needs to get together with Chris Losey in Michigan and do some Oliver/ White videos. I would be all over that content!!!

[@marks_sparks1]

Yes, that would be worth seeing

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I remember talking to White engineer Dean Barker. He felt that proper care and use, the 100 series should go 10,000 hours before any major work would be needed. Simple yet effective. Great video, Jason.

[@MidwestFarmToys]

That's what they all say

Always been interested in Oliver and white tractors! The Glenco soil save r does a really nice job!

That's the way my grandfather's 185 white looked brings back so many memories he used his with either a 30' disc or 30' great plains drill

[@EDBZ28]

beautifully well-kept classic outfit...I enjoy seeing these no matter what color they are. That old Glencoe really doing a great job ripping ground!

[@thevox1075]

I remember when we got our Glencoe. Now THAT was a good purchase. Used White plows and a Miller offset disk up until that. Great tools, but the soil saver saved time!

[@bigtractorpower]

They changed the tillage market in a big way.

[@SimonKL11]

White tractors look cool😉👍 the turning radius is impressive😁👍 cool to see a glencoe soil saver at work😃👍

[@bigtractorpower]

This was a truly classic well matched tillage team.

[@markreetz1001]

I like the look of that that tractor. Has good turning radius for a 4wd. Probably why it turns so well.

[@detroitdiesel2983]

I have one, short wheelbase helps turns but rides a little rough

[@joelg8004]

Never done any farming personally, but have always loved seeing videos of these at work!

[@ascension8811]

Always nice to see a White tractor working. Thanks

[@bigtractorpower]

They are stand out tractors. I like getting a chance to catch them in action.

[@clintonstubbs2319]

I like that tractor Jason. I never really seen many of those White tractors in Georgia. I guess it was more common in the Midwestern states.

[@coreyglasssr6240]

I love White tractors!

[@bigtractorpower]

They had a good product line.

[@Gigitygoo55]

My parents had a White lawn mower I used when I was a kid, that’s the only White we ever had!

[@redironacres]

Great video with an awesome tractor! Great looking team! Love our Whites

[@bigtractorpower]

You have a very cool line up. I hope to get to feature your tractors some day.

[@404nitro]

I really like to, see these tractors, especially when they are in fine condition like this one, and even more so while doing tillage. Merry Christmas to you and your family BTP!

[@billfarmer7984]

I never got to use a White MFWD from this era as the farm I worked on only had 2wds... Awesome tractors.

[@bigtractorpower]

Oliver really pioneered FWA in the 60’s. It’s a great feature. I sure do like getting to feature high horse power 2wd tractors.

[@popswrench2]

LOVED that series .

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍

[@freedomrings1420]

That is one sweet tractor.

[@paulmartin8784]

Nice tractor, never owned one but a drove a few Oliver's and a 2-155 white

[@bigtractorpower]

The 2-155 was a good seller for WFE.

[@NaTech94]

[@jankotze1959]

Great machine, we had them here in South Africa in the 70's and 80's

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I have a South African Oliver/White ad from the 70’s showing the 2270, 1955 and others decaled as White in Oliver green.

[@jacobbirklid9361]

Neighbor had a 185 he affectionately named Elmer after the retired farmer he bought it from. Bought it to pull a 8600 Case IH air drill. Spent a few hours riding along with him chopping silage with a Gehl 800 chopper when him and dad chopped corn together

[@craigrudd6093]

i grew up on oliver's and then white's, now farming on my own, i have ih and case-ih tractors

[@chadshafer8095]

[@carlpreston1680]

Our white American 60's had Cummins cummins with Lucas cav injector pumps and some slightly different outside parts I believe the CDC cummins and the regular Cummins were built in different plants

[@davidschollenberger6871]

how can he see past that huge muffler? i wonder if Jason had this, if a straight pipe with rain cap would be installed. have a good day

[@MidwestFarmToys]

See what? The stuff you're pulling is behind you and your reference is to your right or left side. You're rarely looking straight out in front of you in a tractor.

[@get__some]

@@MidwestFarmToys forgive me for hating mufflers. just the way i am.

[@vern146]

bit more wieght up front would help, nice tractor though.

[@LanceStoddard]

That is why they moved the front axle forward on the 170 and 195 tractors, to take out that bounce.

[@peanutsmith1462]

If the economy wasn’t so bad in the early to mid 80s they would have dominated John Deere

[@bigtractorpower]

WFE’s weakness was that its factories were getting outdated and their dealer net work while dedicated was not large enough.

[@MidwestFarmToys]

No they wouldn't. The weight balance and ride was poor because of the short wheelbase and that tight turning radius wasn't super necessary in the US with the width of implements increasing and our wide open spaces

[@martinhambleton5076]

That's not a chisel plough where I come from?

[@bradolsen8629]

Did you know that there’s a difference between PTO horsepower and engine horsepower? Why is it you don’t mention both that is stupid and pointless. Both of them.

[@gregjames5070]

Awww, poor lil guy is offended by a video.

[@bigtractorpower]

The reason I don’t not mention engine horse power is because the sales brochures from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s only listed pto hp for marketing. From the 20’s to the 50’s belt hp and plow size were the marketing focus. It was only in the past 20 years that engine horse power became the focus on all tractors and not just 4wds. All of my modern tractor videos share engine horse power. Each video I makes is based on the original sales literatures specs and focus.
