Prepping the Massey 8570 combine for wheat harvest

[@anthonypitre4011]

Just bought my mf 8570 upgrading from my white 8900. Thanks for your video keep it up

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

They're a great machine, I think you'll like it.

[@fastsetinthewest]

My father had a 1950 Massey-Harris "Clipper" Power Take-Off Combine. The mergers of all these companies is astounding. Eaglegards...

[@martyhogan8663]

You won't regret get a cordless ratchet, I have 3/8 ratchet and impact and wouldn't be without them, you also done a good job explaining your combine to, never been around one, but read good things about them.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Someday it would be great to see your Oliver Combine harvest the wheat.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I need to pull that engine. It's fun to tun, and really makes a guy appreciate air conditioning.

[@jons7677]

I have a buddy that farms several thousand acres corn, beans, and wheat, plus pumpkins and veggies. But he runs 3 Deere's, but his combine is a Massey. He really likes it, keeps updating with new Massey's for him, and Deere's for the hands and his daughter. Another guy close to here runs only Massey and Agco brands, he has ground from Indiana to Ohio. Not many little guys around anymore, my family was a little guy farm before we sold out 20 yrs ago. 🙄

[@jons7677]

Also, please get some wheat harvest action with that machine. Thanks!

Just took a shower and watching your video got itchy thought I was gonna have too take another shower

Very nice 👍

Finally some good old Rock-n-Roll! I approve.

Nice.... !!!

A combine named Dusty, enjoyed this video bro. Safe travels

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@timnichols9015]

We have a couple different Milwaukee ratchets. I see you are a Dewalt guy but I really like the red tools. Very nice combine…..several years ahead of its time.

[@ram_diesel_power6039]

Milwaukee is the way to go. They ha e run the same battery style for the last 12 plus years. My newest 12 amp battery will fit in my oldest drills.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I've heard good things about Milwaukee, I wouldn't be against giving them a try. I've got a Milwaukee hammer drill that we've had since the 80s. It's corded, so it doesn't get used much any more, but it has done a lot of work on this farm.

[@ram_diesel_power6039]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris I use Milwaukee tools everyday on the farm and in the shop. Their impact guns are awesome. The 3/4 gun will bust almost any nut. From the chain saw to the sawzall. The 4.5 grinder to the grease gun. No more extension cords or air hoses.

[@jons7677]

I would love to have a Milwaukee 1/2 inch impact. I'd probably do away with my air impact. Those things have some serious torque!

[@chrisbeck8182]

Faster tighter and harder. You dog, you! That poor straw.

[@fredf3391]

Like your video with Burning Dinosaur and Fourth of July parade I do it a different way, leaf blower and shop vacuum ,remove all the shields , guards and clean it up before putting it in storages The wind last season keep the combine clean on the outside, it's a 1660 hope wheat harvest went well

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks! I had gotten most of the chaff blown off before storage, but had to quit early that day and never got back to it. Wheat harvest is still on hold because it rains most every day and the humidity is oppressive. So are the mosquitoes!

[@fredf3391]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris Yes I know about things we start and some how they just slip away. Yesterday there was a few hrs for harvesting in area, one yrs it was Aug when someone got done Thanks for getting back and posting

[@ghenry85]

It's a White designed combine, dressed in Massey Ferguson swagger, that was yet build by another company. Nothing confusing😆 Saw somewhere on the vastness of the internet that ther was a White combine that was a rebadged Gleaner. There was the 2500(R52) and 2600 (R62). I was wondering if you have ever seen or even sold one?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I saw them at a dealer product introduction. We tried to pick up the contract for them, but were too close to the Gleaner dealer. They didn't last long, but when they discontinued them, they started offering the Cummins engine in the Gleaner.

[@ghenry85]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris I think I've seen the Rx2 series with Cummins engines in Agdealer and the likes. A nieghbour used a R52 with the Deutz air cooled diesel(loved that engine, noisy bugger) then had a R65 with the Cummins(liked it less). Of course the new Gleaners have Agco Power(formally Sisu), which Ive heard good things about. Massey Ferguson is the closest living relative of White(the corn planters and smaller combines have their roots in White and many tractor lines shared alot of parts).

[@timpalmer7614]

Have you ever left the concave covers in (1 or 2) for soybeans with green or unthreshed pods?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I left both in once on soybeans. I thought I was getting more splits so I took them out.

[@Ixlthim74]

I have a question. I help my grandparents farm for many years and I drove a Allis Chalmers 170 was curious what the Oliver equivalent would be?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

The closest model would be the Oliver 1555.

[@Ixlthim74]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris thank you so much. Love watching all your videos so informative.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

All kinds of equipment built by other manufacturers.. Just look at JD.. using designs from everyone else... But they've perfected the burn them to the ground feature.. lol...

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Yep. I drove by a JD dealer a few days ago and they had one of those high speed tillage tools out front that was made by someone else. I thought to myself... that company probably thought they landed a big contract supplying machines for Deere. Little do they know Deere will establish themselves in that new market, and if it takes off, they will eventually drive that same small company out of business by copying their design.

[@davereynolds6145]

How wide is that perforated piece? I have one off a 7300 but I don't think it's that wide, you can have it if it would work

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I'd have to measure, but close to a foot wide. I appreciate the offer, but I'm sure it's not big enough.

[@leightonfarms4962]

[@snowman5609]

Hi chris we run 4 8570s on the wheat run and we're one of the first crews with them other crews would give us a hard time but we would run the shit out of them and smoked a few 9600 and 1680 and pretty soon the negative comments stop we ran massey combines up to 2018 when we switched to casih 8250s the masseys were a good machine but we just didn't like the direction of agco and there decision to scrap the massey in favor of the fendt.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

One of or service reps at Agco grew up at an Allis dealership. He said that after working service on the wheat harvest crews out west, he realized the 8570 was the best combine in the Agco lineup.

[@chadtosh6831]

Nobody has invented self cleaning farm equipment yet. Got itchy watching you remove those panels. Lol.

[@chadtosh6831]

As a side note, we combine a lot of barley. That's a special kind of itchy. Hahaha

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Worse than oats?

[@chadtosh6831]

By a long shot. Sweet clover is pretty special when you combine it for seed.

[@ronniesorter1888]

@@chadtosh6831 I think barley and milo are the itchiest crops. At least they are that I've cut.

No mice?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Didn't find any evidence of them. That doesn't mean they're not around.

What has farming come to. I noticed you and Cole the Cornstar wear shorts and those darned crocs. Bad as the younger generation truck drivers, cutoff sweatpants and flip-flops with socks. Lmao

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I draw the line at cut off sweats and socks with flip flops! Lol. In my opinion, sweats are pajamas. Cut off sweats are girlie pajamas.

[@bungalallyO]

Real men wear short shorts.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

@@bungalallyO The last week or so shorts allow too much blood loss from the mosquitoes.
