Oliver oc3 crawler vs ford 9n

[@sammyJno]

Haha great video. Im convinced to get one now.

[@JesterPgh]

Great video. I just picked up what I'm pretty sure is a 1956 OC3 with a Ware front end loader. Good to see it can get it done.

[@4Dan21]

Nice! Ya I’m quite happy with it so far! :)

[@TheBcrug]

Moved a lot of wood with both, preferred the 9n on dry bare ground, always wanted a set of tracks for it. The oc3s were viable rigs for cheap but the JD MCs and 40s were more sure footed.

It ain't the size of the dog in the fight, its size of the fight in the dog Good vid, keep up the great content

[@morgansword]

It may be near my age or more even as I'm seventy four. I am impressed that its so agile as the cletrac I am familiar with was called the "Forty" and it took near forty acres to turn it around... course it was the bull dozer type machine. I remember it having as much heart as a big dog Cat dozer in the D4 size back then.

Lol that’s hilarious 😂

[@michaelbailey8320]

How funny. I grew up on a farm using these exact two machines for field work.

[@4Dan21]

lol that’s amazing! 😊

[@brianmilliard6998]

Nice video, where can I find one of those ?😊

[@4Dan21]

Thanks! If I knew where to find more I would probably have them too 😂

[@gregorycross612]

Looks like you need a bit of front ballast weight on the Ollie. 👋😳

[@4Dan21]

Lol yes I agree! It’s on the to do list 😂

[@rickarndt3895]

Wow I'd love to have that old crawler and restore it

I suspect the drawbar on the crawler is what hung up when it spun down. It looks like it cuts your ground clearance by 4 or 5 inches, which can make a good bit of difference in whether or not you get stuck. I noticed it had no trouble backing out of the hole it almost got stuck in, going forward. As long as it has the power to pull through deep mud, the crawler should go much better, in mud, than the rubber tired 9N, except maybe for the ground clearance difference.
