Minneapolis-Moline G-1350 Tractor and Oliver 540 Plow

[@formerfarmer1718]

I keep counting that Oliver 6 bottom plow and I keep coming up with 5!

[@choreboy3906]

These were (and remain) the most powerful and efficient tractors of all time.

[@mattprater7184]

gotta love those big molines love hearing that big six sing

[@jerryhenry662]

with that straight pipe he*ll be hearing it for days

[@dimduk]

Love seeing old iron still running strong. Good video.

[@culmalachie]

Brings back so many memories .... Sitting BETWEEN the wheels leaning on the mudguard / fender (not)listening to the engine roar - to get an extra dimension of perception of load to adjust the draft control - Huh - and we need 4WD now? LOOK - 2Wd without duals AND a Trailed Plow - no hydraulic draft control here - just weight transfer thru' speed. we can learn a lot from some of these good videos. Many thanks

[@farmerboy8940]

Your videos are great. I love watching them. But this is the best one of all....brings back so many memories...crisp day plowing in the field before cabs were common on tractors, and the wonderful sound from the large displacement of the motor. Kudos to the lucky owner of this tractor, I love how he compensates for the missing air cleaner cover.

[@bigtractorpower]

This G-1350 is a true 1979’s classic for sure.

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

What’s this cab everyone is talking about . Is it a myth or for real

[@michiganfarming1955]

Oh that turbo! It's nice to see the molines still working. I want a g1000 vista or g1355

[@crslyrn]

Cool looking old Mini-Mo. Just something about an old tractor rolling across the field with a chrome straight pipe. It sounds really good under the load of that plow. My favorite way to hear them. LOL You got some pretty good footage of her, I can almost smell the diesel & dirt. LOL

[@birdsnestfishing698]

Always cool going back and seeing your old videos especially open station big power 2wd tractors!

[@bigtractorpower]

I am always looking for these classics at work.

[@ih1206]

That must be some heavy dirt out there in Iowa. My old 806 would runs away with 5-16s in our heavy black jack. Pretty cool seeing an old Moline out and about. Not to many in my area, much less one this size. There's still a bunch of Olivers and Whites running around though.

[@robertlong7033]

That open cab and straight pipe has to be a hearing aide saleman's dream come true

[@georgeboyd2774]

Robert Long A pair of Howard Leight, Thunder 29's, would take care of the noise. They're all day comfortable to wear.

[@dennisgt479]

Robert Long what!

[@aaronklemm]

Love NE Iowa and that’s a cool tractor. My favorite video yet.

[@bigtractorpower]

Great farming area.

[@brianripley8405]

Man I love the look and sound of that!

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s a cool classic.

[@gleanerk]

Boy you get around! Thanks for showing us the video! I enjoyed it!

[@pigshower2000ify]

God I love these tractors. I have two G1355’s. One with singles and fender fuel tanks, the other with duals and a cab. Talk about head turners through a 5in chrome stack

[@bigtractorpower]

That is awesome. The G-1355 is one of my all time favorite tractors. I hope to get a chance to film a G-1355 in the field some day. Where do you farm?

[@Ticky66MN]

Awesome video again. Thank you!

[@aprilianick]

Love the sound!

[@terry32]

Love that sound !!

[@markstengel7680]

Gota be one of my favs MM 1350 series

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s a cool tractor.

[@Dodger2204]

Great looking tractor!

[@thatswiss1385]

A real monster! Extreme good sound and much power!

[@bigtractorpower]

Minneapolis-Moline made good tractors.

[@AndersonFarms]

Love that tractor, Very Rare. We have a G750 only 220 made. We are working on restoring it. Your quite a ways from home.

[@bigtractorpower]

That is a very cool tractor to have. The Toy Tractor Times Magazine is making a 1/16 model of the G940 this year. BTP filmed a collection this fall with a G850 in it.

[@davidegiacomazzi1594]

o mio Dio bellissimo video e bellissimo trattore ciao😊

[@zegeraldodesouza8086]

sou do Brasil não existe esse trator aqui conheci ele atravéz do jogo Fs22 e me apaixonei que máquina 🇧🇷

[@westrotter7847]

Perfect match !!! Moline means torque !!!!!!

[@troyskeese1503]

Like a dinosaur from the past. Now days it's a small tractor. But sure has a nice sound

[@tharp78]

Yeah, but it was a real horse when it was new!

[@davidegiacomazzi1594]

i like this tractors end video very good ciao

[@gabewynne3025]

I would love to go to Iowa to the toy show and just to see the farming up there

[@larryhurley2314]

Love the sound of those big Molines and the sight of that dark iowa soil.

[@bigtractorpower]

+Larry Hurley thank you for watching. I have another Moline video on the way this month on an A4T-1600.

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

They do have the plow in the ground

[@jankotze1959]

Beautiful tractor, like those fat front tires. It's a huge field for one tractor, or was there more in the field?

[@rickysdiecastmodels3067]

Good video

[@brianberning5330]

I do love to hear those 585 blocks run

[@canvids1]

they were the good old days when the bigger tractors were coming in and great to see them thanks for your video. I have a comment though how could a operator stand the sound for eight hours or more coming out of that straight pipe while working the field is beyond me.

[@bigtractorpower]

This farm runs modern Challenger tractors. They are Minneapolis-Moline enthusiast and collectors. They were very nice to set aside part of a field to plow for a BTP video.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

canvids1 Did it for years on lots of different tractors and a couple of dozers. I have some mid range hearing loss in my left ear. That's from looking over my right shoulder. HD11 Allis dozer was the loudest and an 8000 Ford with a tin can cab was an echo chamber. I use ear plugs occasionally now. Today's cabs are wonderful.

[@whiteout1962]

Mighty Mo she is a beast!

[@vickipoe3925]

old school power! that's awesome. open platform and straight pipe! I would have to get some ear muffs. you would get hard of hearing in a hurry! lol

[@steigerman6288]

this was down by Dyersville, Iowa???

[@reynaldocavazos3027]

Maneje uno de estos los años sesenta cloh de mano igual al grasias por el recuerdo era un niño grasias amigo RC

[@timthomas3730]

Good to see a farm with a strip of grass between fields and possibly a lane.

[@Black9924v]

Seems like the Moline was the big tractor and the Oliver's were the smaller hay farmer type of tractor

[@bigtractorpower]

The Olivers and Molines had similar horse power ratings. MM had a front forward design where Oliver was more compact. White Motors discontinued the Oliver 2150 in 1969 and replaced it with the Oliver 2155 which was a G-1350 painted green.

[@jetegtmeier71]

heck your right in my back yard :)

[@wanderingman8921]

What's the size of those front tires?

[@jaakkorasila8661]

Would be awesome If there would be minneapolis molines in Finland,too!

[@zeke92493]

MM, worlds finest tractor...

[@bigtractorpower]

+Charles Dziki it's always great to see an MM at work. Hopefully BTP will find more to film.

[@billknoderer8202]

That plow ain’t set right. It’s either too deep in the back or the front plow isn’t deep enough to match the back furrow.

[@mahmutcapar3077]

Dünyanın en iyi Traktör ü...

[@gabewynne3025]

My dad used to plow with a ford 7600 and a four bottom plow

[@caseman7896]

Fantastic.

[@jamesmullis6827]

nice !

[@Machi74005]

Did this tractor have the "split-jug" 6 cyl in it? Always heard those were great motors. Looks like a set of duals on the left side would help.

[@pigshower2000ify]

Machi74005 yes the classic “three block” 585 cubic in moline diesel.

[@michaelemanuels5250]

That tractor is bad ass tractor . I love MM tractors

[@bigtractorpower]

They are tough. This farm has an A4T-1400 and a G-1355 too

nice

[@pandabear5422]

6 furrow really!! i only count 5

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Seems he said 5 bottom Plow Then near the end of the video he said 6 bottom plow also mentioned they added a Turbo .. I noticed it was not smoking much ..

[@billloomis4975]

@@mikeskidmore6754 The 1350 came from the factory with a turbo.

[@hypercube33]

@@billloomis4975 This thing could probably pull a much bigger plow as you dont even hear it bog once. I've seen a 1350 win a tractor pull without breaking a sweat for its weight class.

[@kentlange5338]

I only count 5 bottoms on that plow myself. I rewound the film 3 times to make sure I wasn't mishearing something or seeing incorrectly. I wasn't. It's a 5 bottom.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Bill Loomis they actually didn’t.

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Solid

[@raywhite1442]

When was the Minneapolis Moline video taken

[@bigtractorpower]

November 2016

[@tsint]

Big tractor or small man? :)

[@MatthewHoag77]

Welcome to Iowa, BTP.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you. It is a great state.

[@Black9924v]

Crazy part is these tractors had an N/A 585ci motor puttin out 140 hp when jd 6030 only had 531ci but was turbo'd puttin out 180 hp. Imagine if the g1355 was turbo'd and intercooled. It would have been a monster

[@bigtractorpower]

The Moline engine was big. They used it in the big 2wd s and 4wds. It’s interesting how companies geared tractors in the top range in 1972 from 139 Hp in the G-155 to 175 Hp like the 6030.

[@geraldskaggs3903]

I never did like to see a plow raised out of the ground because of traction problems. He seems to have plenty of power, why don't he add some weight to the rear wheels?

[@vickipoe3925]

I have a question for all of you? did Moline make that tractor in a Vista model?

[@nellsonstout7001]

They made the G1000 in a vista model with an even higher operator’s platform over the regular, but I think they moved to a higher platform altogether with later models

[@reddirtfarm7704]

All of those MM weights 💪

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍

[@markgamble8377]

Yes sir.enjoyed the video. 5 or 6 dont matter.wonder if tires are loaded?

[@bigtractorpower]

Funny story on the plow bottom count. When I arrived at the field I asked how many bottoms the plow was. The dad said 6 bottom. But... it was not pulling well so the son had switched over to a 5 bottom that afternoon. I was filming and the plow was moving so I did not count as I was narrating live.

[@markgamble8377]

Plenty power. Litte ground slip.couple spots. Nice tractor.must be why switched the 6 to 5. Why i wondering if tires loaded.hardly working it

[@vafaningetnamnledigt1]

Lovely sound and tractor but how come that ploughing in northamerica looks terrible? New or old equipment The furrows are uneven, straw is not turned down? Can't just be soildifferenses or?

[@sammagedanz2457]

vafaningetnamnledigt here in the USA plowing gets done very rarely and the ground is harder and cloddyer

[@vafaningetnamnledigt1]

Sam Magedanz cant be true, most US made umplements doesnt work here because off hard clay in The soul, many have tried cultuvators but doesn't work. But you can get an old Oliver plough work fine but never nearby as good as a Kverneland for example.

[@jtoddjb]

Funny you mention that. I've always wondered why Europeans are so into making perfect furrows right down to the millimeter. I understand taking pride in your work, but I cant imagine plowing several hundred acres of ground and stopping 50 times worrying about everything being absolutely perfect. Fall tillage would be done by mid summer. Do those perfectly even and exact depth furrows really help produce that much more during the growing season? We're going to disc it anyway and break up any residue left. Most of us here don't plough very often or even at all. I guess some of my opinion comes from watching those crazy ploughing competitions, but I understand that's not farming it's a competition. I do enjoy seeing and hearing about the differences in the way people farm in other parts of the world. I'm sure we all have lots to learn from each other.

[@Agislife1960]

Maybe you guys can answer a question I have, did MM ever make a tractor with Cab and Air Conditioning, Im pretty sure Oliver did.

[@xade7863]

They did make a cabbed tractor but idk if they came with a/c from the factory but my buddy had 1 and it had a cab and a/c but idk if it was factory. And idk if oliver did I think white was the main 1 with cabbed tractors and they are the same thing just a little newer

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

good plowing ......great soil No plowing "sugar sand" here !

[@turbo5488]

That Minneapolis Moline G1350 for having 180 horsepower, those back tires should be 20in tires on the back of that tractor, and it would give it more traction with less tire slipping

[@bigtractorpower]

The G1350 is 143 hp. It is a stout tractor.

[@festus51]

only see 5 bottom plow. Thought the announcer said 6??

[@johnt7232]

Must have a lost a mould board since i started watching

[@raywhite1442]

Hey man that tractor isn't 500 hp and four wheel drive how did it happen to get a video from you

[@bigtractorpower]

I want to film every thing from a Ford 8n to a Big Bud 747. If you look through my video library in the past week I shared an Oliver 1600 and a White 195 Work Horse. This spring I shared a JD 4255, Case 2390, IH 1086, IH 5288 etc….

[@jmurphy1973]

Now that's what good dirt looks like...nice and dark. Not black like north central Iowa, but it does the trick.

[@bigtractorpower]

It is good soil. I just filmed corn cultivating on this farm. Very nice soil between the rows of corn.

[@jasonknight4906]

yes I liked It

[@57fitter]

Shortest 6 bottom I ever saw.

[@bigtractorpower]

We messed up on that one. The farm has a 6 bottom and a 5 bottom plow. It was hard to see while filming because of sun glare. Still cool to see an Oliver plow in action.

[@57fitter]

Oh yeah I still farm with A Farmall Super M a plain M and other vintage stuff. Newest piece is a 75 Gleaner. Love seein the old stuff at work.

[@steigerpower]

Would this tractor engine be the 585 cu in?

[@pigshower2000ify]

Billy G yes the 585 moline, no turbo or inter cooler

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

You cant mistake the sound of a big 6 Lung Moline for anything else.

[@farmallskittle]

you need a moline now too buddy

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Ide take a G1355 or a G1000 Vista

[@farmallskittle]

yeah i would too maybe someday but first i want a 1206 ih

[@michiganfarming1955]

Oliver66FarmBoy same here man, a g1000 vista is on my list!

[@bigtractorpower]

This farm has those models in their line up too. They have a great collection including a yellow A4T-1600 we did a short video on. Thank you for watching. I enjoy watching your channel.

[@JustinBierschenk]

were is this at in eastern Iowa?

[@bigtractorpower]

bazgino what?!! Haha

[@1DirtyMutt]

Back then we rode in the bed of pickups,drank from garden hoses, didn’t use eye or ear protection...we died like real men!

[@davidsapp6910]

Only a 5 bottom. Doesn't even make it smoke. Had a Vista LP pulling 7.

[@caseycouch1660]

I was thinking the same thing had a neighbor that had a 1000 and he pulled 7 we have a hundred and ten horsepower that we pull five with in heavy gram if I'm not mistaken he said this tractor was turboed up to 180 but this was always my opinion of mm around our area big enough for way more work but not capable of doing it

[@earlmcdaniel1607]

Like to see a twenty one fifty Oliver or a one hundred thirty o six Deutz pull the same plow.

[@johnhicks6380]

Need to use the fingers on both hands to count to 6

[@zackvahlkamp5044]

That is impressive

[@randallweuve3118]

looks like a 5 bottom to me

[@westrotter7847]

Needs some extra rear axle weight.

[@imenriched]

Hmmm a recount of bottoms is needed

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes. The farm has a 6 16 but the 5 16 was hooked up.

[@ChiefAUS]

imenriched Good catch.

[@imenriched]

In all honesty adding another bottom behind this tractor probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. 2-3 more to really make it "work"

[@choreboy3906]

Oh we so fortunate today. What choice do we really have? Deere, Deere and Deere? That's how I like success served up! " We're going to produce for the top 10% of farmers ". Right. And most were stupid enough to subscribe. Now. What are your choices? Whatever they offer.

[@rockinhonda]

That's a 5 bottom plow folks.

[@bigtractorpower]

+rockinhonda I messed up on that one. When I arrived for filming they said 6 bottoms. They had been running a 6 bottom but switched to a 5.

[@lesafrazier8872]

Correction the plow is a oliver 540 pull type plow.

[@ralphhitchensjr.9633]

Part Oliver part MM

This 1350 is all Moline. The G1355 that cane next is a Moliver.

Nice machine but big and noisy. Without hearing protection he will end up with permanent hearing loss. It might sound cool for a minute or two but after that it is just noise. To bad Minneapolis Moline is just a part of history now.

[@dcw1540]

5 bottom

[@bigtractorpower]

+Douglass Wilkin there was a mix up on that. It had a 6 bottom the day before but they switched to a 5 bottom. Filming into the sun I did not see they switched plows.

[@Buzzbox3rd]

No offence but anything "White" makes my skin crawl.

[@haroldswick9962]

Minnie's left a bad taste in farmer's mouths such as my father. When the old MINNIE'S went from from gas to diesel they didn't have the power they should. They didn't increase the displacement of the engines for diesel fuel. My Dad went to John Deere and never looked back.

[@davidsapp6910]

Needs wider tires.Too much slippage. Pulling a 5-16 Oliver, not 6-16. Need 8-16. wasting fuel and time.

[@xade7863]

He’d do better to put duals cause wider tires such as flotation tires can make it slip worse than what it does now

[@Indiana2door]

Moldboard plowing is a total waster of time. Nice video though.

[@lawandarianna8978]

Doodles. Why ?

[@xade7863]

Plowing has lots of advantages and can be the best way to build up land and is better for the land than no till or disking and doing stuff like that
