ONE OF A KIND! Oliver 1650 Terra Tire Tractor Working in the Field

I'm going to be seeding a new hay field soon, and wanted to go over it with the Brillion cultimulcher. They do a great job of leveling the soil and leaving the firm seedbed that alfalfa likes. My 1650 hasn't done much in the last couple years, so it could use a workout, plus it doesn't leave much for tracks in the soil. Tune in to watch it work and hear some of the back story of how it came to our farm and this unique tire option. It is truly a one of a kind!

I know you do your own painting, but do you do your own stunts?

[lewisgeyer]

Your history and provenance with that tractor not only adds to its monetary value but more importantly its historical value. You’re a great storyteller which is why I watch your videos. Thank you so much.

If only all tractors could talk and give their story! Has to be awesome having a 1 of 1 tractor!

[gregdavis]

Love that you found all the history on this tractor. Very interesting history. Another good video in the books. That tractor and story would make a great magazine article!

[davidmarley]

Wow what a story, one of one. I can imagine investigating and figuring all that out had to be a holy crap moment. And your Dad bought it. Great looking 1650, thanks for sharing!

my uncle's favorite tractor was his AC 200, but he loved his Olivers, (16-1900) series. as a youngster, I enjoyed riding with him while plowing, discing, cultivating, etc. on those orange and forest green machines. the fact that these machines are not museums pieces but able to look new and still doing the work they were designed for, is a testament not only how well built, but the skill and craftmanship of the farmers who cared enough to restore them. great job Mr. Losey👍

Ha when you waved, I waved back and I said to my husband, ‘that’s stupid he can’t see me’
I love the explanation of the tires, that’s the first thing I said, ‘those tires are huge’. Great video😊

A big footprint leaving hardly any foot print at all. I'm sure it looks great sitting next to Herman like a little brother. Charles City IA Museum is definitely on my bucket list.

[hughmackellar]

Quite a story. Glad you found out and got her back they way it should be.

[davedecook]

Thanks for all the detailed information. I've been impressed with your talent to fly the drone and run equipment and not miss (except for around 7 minutes, lol). Thanks for everything.

Being 1 of 1 would make driving it a real treasure bro, putting it back to how it came out of the factory must fill you with plenty of pride too. Enjoyed listening to your history on it too. Safe travels. Ken.

One of one, pretty awesome. Nice tractor Chris.

[mikekalsem]

Awesome All Around, Chris! Such a Great Story!!! Your Dad would be thrilled with this one! 👍👌🎉

[jonathancrissinger]

Loved the video and the history. Glad you went through it and restoration looks great. See you later.

[andrewrothermel]

What an amazing story and a truly rare birds 1 of 1! Amazing! Glad you have it and share the story of it, Chris!

[jeffstephens]

Good morning Chris that's pretty cool history of that old tractor

[jamiesmith]

Great job as always! You are a very lucky person to have a 1 of 1 tractor and you didn't know you even had it.

[corydriver]

Every time I see these big floatation tires a wonder how well they’d drive over deep snow. I always enjoy the history and back story on these tractors. Thanks for the video.

[royhaught]

The tractor looks awesome with the terra tires! You guys look like you could use some rain.

[justinmitchell]

I think you're right about that steering! She looks well worn! Nice tractor Chris, my uncle had a 1650 and it had a steering issue as well!
