Like JTs barn and grill said. I don’t always buy a tractor cause I need it, I buy it because I want it. Nice tractor and happy for you.

[@benturner4352]

Friggin' awesome dude! I been watching you for YEARS. Congrats brother...it honestly couldn't have gone to a better person. Your passion for Oliver/White equipment and history, the way you take care of equipment. Wonderful.

[@benturner4352]

And it's funny...one of the first thoughts I had was "I hope he puts a straight pipe on it" 😅😂

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Nice purchase, when you interviewed that one guy that talked about those tractors it really sounded like you would love one

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

Congrats Ethan!!!! She's definitely a beauty. You work hard so you definitely deserve it!!

[@jrgenthomsen3841]

Congratulations on getting your unicorn Eleanor, what an amazing tractor looking forward seeing you take care of her

[@richtersfarms6512]

Can't think of a better home for it to go to, congrats man, you deserve it 👍

[@MadSwiss2024]

Congrats young man!!! Saving history one piece at a time!! That is awesome!!!

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

Many, many, great comments. We all knew this vision would become a reality one day. This one found a good home. Congratulations!. She's a beautiful machine.

[@shroomssawshop4401]

Congratulations, buddy! She's a beauty!!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

What an awesome piece of history you saved!! Congrats! I know it will be a while, but I'm looking forward to seeing some maintenance and repair video's.

[@rockyhart3578]

Congratulations Ethan! That 270 has found the perfect home! A 4-150 was my main tillage tractor from 1980 to 2000. But I then went the Versatile route, like it sounds like your 270's previous owners. For that tractor to stay in it's local area and will still be earning it's keep on your farm is heaven. For it and for you. Yeah....I'm jealous 😊 Congratulations

[@dschefers9700]

Absolutely a great buy.

[@backachershomestead]

Congratulations! That's an awesome addition to your working farm equipment collection!👍👍

[@hacc220able]

I love this beast already and can't wait to see her in action - Thanks for sharing.

[@dennislamers986]

Congratulations Ethan. This opens you up to the possibilities of more land.

[@larrymeyers6913]

Congratulations on getting your unicorn. Like you said you don't spend your money frivolously and deserve this because your a hard working man.

[@alcopower5710]

Congratulations…….you absolutely deserve it. 👍

[@robstaffin2907]

Congratulations on the new tractor can't wait to see what she does on the field

[@19661650]

Congratulations on acquiring Elenor, I also bought a tractor I didn't need or really have the cash for a 1959 Canadian built Cockshutt 550 row crop. They were only built for 4 years and low production, Only 2,930 built. Also it fits nicely with my 1959 Oliver 550. Looking forward to seeing it in the field next year!

[@randyrobinson8751]

I like the straight 6 cat engines better than the v8s. 3306&3406 are sweet running engines

[@paulletsinger4896]

Congratulations on your purchase can't wait to see it working ground next spring

[@DarkTiran]

Awesome man, its it a beautiful machine. Sometimes you just gotta make that crazy purchase for you. I did it last year and after getting over the anxiety of dropping that much on something you just want and do not need, I look back with no regrets. Looking forward to seeing you put her to work. And if you actually do clean it up and redo the paint you will have one of the best looking machines in your area.

[@carrollcountyfarmer2871]

Nice find congrats on the new tractor you deserve it you should be proud

[@Caboosz]

i think its important to treat yourself from time to time. she looks like a sweet big ol girl Ethan! i had the same "complex" when i bought back my first tractor a 1971 Massey Ferguson 165 i dident need it as i dont farm. BUT i wanted to treat myself to something nice for once so i bought her back as an early 30th birthday present for myself. looking forward to see the videos on this one in the future! Cheers from Norway :D PS Love youre videos! its cool to see some of the older smaler machines and not just 100k++ machines!

[@craignepp524]

They do make pre formed cab kits, more money but makes install sooooo much easier. Worst part is prep work cleaning old material.

[@deanhoman1958]

Congratulations, dream come true!

[@clinthochrein888]

She’s a beaut Clark a beaut!!

[@dazzfromaus4797]

Great find. Glad you were able to get such a classic work of art which these tractors were.

[@prmcnamara]

Badass purchase. You'll give her a great new life and she'll help take some pressure off the 150. Congrats!

[@davidvogel2592]

Thats an awesome tractor bud. All i can say is wow

[@joeromeiro3858]

Congratulations beautiful tractor

[@massey2680]

Cool tractor looking forward to seeing her at work !

[@MostlyInteresting]

Not stupid, you are the caretaker of the legacy now.

[@austinmillard5793]

4-270! My absolute dream tractor. They look so mean I love the way the frame and sheet metal was designed on those tractors

[@williamhastings7182]

I'm glad to see the deal worked out, been waiting to hear about afyer the teaser episode...lol...nothing like the old iron, she's a beaut Clark...congrats on Eleanor

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Congratulations Bud, looks like a nice horse you will Definitely USE it. Can't wait to see it work.

[@Fieldman12]

I figured this was what you bought. I remember you hinting around about it in a video. Congratulations! She is a power house.

[@sethkostur6785]

From the outside looking in, I think you did make a smart business decision. Just like you said you’re not gonna need any more horsepower and with your skill and how well you take care of your equipment that tractor will last you the rest of your life. $20,000 for a 300 hp tractor seems like a awesome deal. You could probably put another 20,000 into her and she would be cherry if not close to it and you still would have a hell of a deal. I know you justify this as something you “wanted” but it wasn’t a bad purchase. I would think it would be very hard to try and find a tractor of that quality for $20,000. Let’s say you have it for 20 years and let’s say you put another 20,000 into it that’s still only $2000 a year. Seems to me like you made a great decision.

[@KCIREDERF10]

Good for you Ethan. This machine will serve you very well. This is sure to last you for years based on your maintenance skills. Can't wait to see it Rollin dirt. Thanks for the post. Take care. Fred.

[@georgeegly8354]

Good luck and congratulations on the purchase you wanted it and it came true awesome

[@koreymartinson7238]

Congratulations! Sometimes an opportunity purchase isn't the best decision but if a guy can make it work it's not a bad decision! Nice find!

[@millardhayes1884]

Been looking at pics and videos of this tractor and it's a beast. You'll probably really like this purchase.

[@bengittus1836]

This is a great fit on your farm! With some work over the next several months she will be a great tractor ready for field work next year!

[@greggschultz9256]

That thing has a cool factor of at least 17!! Sweet!

[@j.sfarms]

Congrats! The "new tractor feeling" rocks!

[@robertburey4704]

Awesome! Absolutely awesome. So glad you are the one to get it, use it, and give it the upkeep it needs.

[@pak5853]

The clutch is like a big rig clutch then all the way down is the clutch brake to get it in gear part way down is the working clutch to switch gears while ur moving. They make 2 piece clutch brakes so u can replace it without pulling the trans

[@dalecoffing8655]

Sweet! Boys and their toys.

[@jasonbroadhead3991]

You and this tractor were made for each other! I love your videos!

[@kellyschurr3675]

This is so cool. Congratulations!

[@stephenheyes4324]

Congratulations on getting your tractor she looks a great machine will be great to see Eleanor working in the field eventually at some time in the future

[@tractorguy100]

Awesome find-looking forward to videos of this one

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ethan, The time to buy something when it's rare is when you find it. Looks like you got some repairs and servicing to do but I think overall that sounds like it'll help you out a lot on the farm. 👍 Good luck 🍀🤞 with your new purchase. Thanks Michael

[@jacksonknafel3361]

congratulations man you earned it! looking forward to future videos of it!

[@russellhansen7622]

That is awesome to find on of those big horses. I have only seen one in person, some young man around our area found 1 a few years ago. Awesome find

[@CPAgriculture]

Very nice find and an awesome story to go with it! Congratulations!!

[@MrTGleaner]

That's so sick man!!! Best decision you could have made buying that beauty! Also don't forget to put your 3 point down for winter storage... Them things stay up too much an eventually they wont ever go down again... Learned that the hard way with a JD 7810

[@oldironfarming5804]

Sure outgrew the new machine shed real fast! Tillage with a 4-270 and seed with a 66. That’s awesome!

[@dennisspiehs4593]

That thing is pretty cool it looks unstoppable

[@KincaidMitchell]

I’m with you Ethan. Gone in 60 seconds is a very good movie.

[@tommoyer3302]

You didnt spend the money , you invested it . Good buy ! !

[@brandonwagner7301]

Nothing like that new tractor feeling. Congrats

[@acdiesel7439]

That's so cool. She's a beast. Great find and congrats on the purchase. Looking forward to seeing it in action next year.

[@stephenbontrager5894]

Congrats on your new tractor can't wait to see it in the field and looking forward to your next video.

[@martinmills8458]

Congratulations Ethan, she will be well cared for. Hope to see more on it.

[@SweeneyBelarus]

Our farm is a mile west of where you bought the tractor from. You definitely spotted the Whites at our farm. Congratulations on getting your dream tractor.

[@simonlichcaterpillarpower]

Congratulations Oliver 66 Farm Boy, that is a Very Nice Looking Tractor You have Buy!!!!!! 😊👌👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪.I'am a Fan to Schlüter Tractors and I also like Versatile Tractors and White Tractors To!!!!!

[@jessefrystak7355]

That's an awesome story I've been waiting since you mentioned a new tractor was coming! Would be really cool if you could buy that experimental offset disc to pull with it

[@countryboy3201]

That is awesome bud!! 👌 you deserve every bit of that old girl can't wait to see Eleanor in action,goes to show ya what hard work does for ya

[@chadshafer8095]

That is Awesome to see you get this. I was wondering if you were getting one of these. Hope you Restore this & your 4-150. I enjoy watching you. I enjoy you using older White equipment more then the newer equipment. Keep doing what you do.

[@Nick-tz2vl]

Sometimes you just have to do stuff not because it's practical...but because you want it, and dammit it feels good when you do it! Awesome tractor. Opens up a world of opportunities for implements if you come across some cheap. I always liked the 270 with the fuel tanks. Almost looks like it has armor on it.

[@arcticman18]

Congratulations! Thats a beast of a tractor. Like yourself I’ve grown up with Oliver’s and White Tractors/still farm with them. My dream tractor would be one of those 1150 Versatile’s on triples. Some day I hope to be in the right place at the right time to have one fall in my lap. . .

[@mathiggins4264]

I like your new toy Looks good Clark. Your buddy from Nebraska be safe out there

[@davekelley8520]

Good for you . I never managed to buy my dream tractor but my son did so it's a win for me I get to use it he pays for it

[@gunnarbeck225]

Congrats there bud you deserve a tractor like that you work so hard

[@hillbillyhicks8102]

I totally get your love for tractors. I really do.

[@dougbrewer2257]

Good for you you work hard and it was meant to be

[@keithselzer9816]

Congratulations, that is a great looking tractor to add to your fleet of equipment.

[@jeffwilliams3642]

Congratulations!!!! Looking forward to seeing her do some tillage.

[@bosseliminator]

Congrats on the purchase. You’ll need to do a video on how to get that style on shifter to work right and smooth. I’ve tried and failed. Some working words will be used shifting it.

[@bige3473]

That is great Ethan. Good for you.

[@richardmarshall8505]

What a beauty. I life it's not always a need when the want is stronger. And it's a long-term investment that's going to be with you for a lift time and never going to devalue. We have to do these things when they are limited numbers to grab. I am looking forward to seeing more of her in the future.

[@kristiankristiansen133]

Buying with your heart Is not always smart, but surely feels good. Like it a lot

[@anthonybanda8192]

It’s a good investment. As the farm grows and you cover more ground that big tractor will be handy . Plus the fact that it will be used and kept in the same relative area as it has its whole life is cool . Nothing wrong with older large hp machines.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

My dream 4 wheel drive tractor is a JI Case 2470. My Grandpa had one and it was a beast.

[@martinwaddell]

That’s a beautiful piece of engineering in great condition and I really liked the story about you getting it

[@cjfarms2239]

Awesome! Looks like a clean one tractor, dean had decals custom made for his 325, he’s probably got the info on them, but I’m sure you talked about that. And I’d like to make a correction the amount of 4-270s for sale. There were actually 4, there was one BigIron here in Nebraska that sold a week and a half ago. But it was non operational, and I had thoughts that this one was that one, but obviously not. Can’t wait to see her in the field!

[@stevelalande4698]

Awesome tractor congrats. I'm from Quebec and I know of one in my area.

[@nelsonfarms20]

Super exciting! Congrats Ethan! Glad you got ahold of that gem. I’m just outside of Rochester. Athens had a decent dealer, that could’ve been it

[@Stevestractoradventures]

Congrats, getting the working unicorn tractor for your working collection is always a joy. Hoping we'll see her working ground next season.

[@BandyFarms]

Congrats on your purchase. Couldn’t think of a better home for it. We know you’ll take care of it.

[@SacredDuramax]

Congrats Ethan on getting Eleanor. Glad to see another one saved and gone to a good loving home where she belongs

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

That’s totally awesome, can’t wait to see you put your TLC into it what a great find and absolutely straight pipe it. Everything I own that has a turbocharger has a straight pipe. Take care

[@jasonservary477]

That is one hell of a sexy looking tractor just can't beat the old stuff

[@markward6076]

I'm glad you got the three point package. Too me a bareback tractor isn't a whole tractor. There's just less options for a bareback. 👍👍

[@jrhendershot1936]

Great addition for your farm happy for you

[@joshuabouwmeester6030]

this is the 2nd 4-270 i know of, Teeswater agri parts up in Teeswater Ontario has one there collection, cool tractors, nice purchase, hope you get great use out of het

[@virgilmanis2074]

Those 3306's where an amazing motor . And make sweet music with a straight pipe. But of course you know that chrome straight pipe will let them breath a little better. Little more HP.
