John Deere 6030 has more power by alot.

I ran a g1355 in olver pant nice then got a big case 😊

What was the cost of such a tractor back then?

My dad bought a 2-70 brand new in 1976. I was 10 years old at the time. I still use it to this day and I'm 58 now. It only has 1625 hours on it and runs as good now as it did almost 50 years ago. Great tractor.

most likely that is tractor dry weight no wheel weights or fluid 4 tires 😊😊 OMG 8 2O 2O23

White tractor was the best tractor ever if you ever sit in the seat of one and farmed with it you would agree most awesome tractor ever built its a shame that they cared more about building trk than a good farm tractor

A 4-150 Field Boss would later appear in 1973

For the White to beat the Massey, at cold starting, was something. I have a 60s model Massey 65, with the Perkins diesel. It is still the best starting engine, on my property, during any weather, with no starting aid. With a good, strong, battery, almost instant starting, if you leave the throttle lever at idle. Did White use Perkins engines. I will have to check into it. Some of these tests were influenced by the difference in the operators. Gear selection, plowing depth differences, down to fractions of an inch, throttle sets, and certain other skills, such as turning around and lining up the plows for the next pass, if applicable, all can make differences in area covered, per time.

My Grandfather worked in the foundry in Charles City for many years. Every employee got screwed over so hard at the end of White Farm. Closing the factory killed Charles City.

Leave green and add Gold!

Very nice find! Thank you.

All four are great tractors an well worth the money I'd shire take any of the four in a heart beat today over what's outwear today altho to be fair they should have used the 1466 6 cylinder international instead of the 1468 that v8 wasn't the best motor international ever put out

New idea made some great corn pickers

Beautiful video of a beautiful America love that old iron

The 6215's were powerhouses. White claimed they made 215hp at the PTO but they dyno from the factory north of 240hp.

Love to see these videos when these tractors came out.

4 FD tractors are better all 4 tires pull at the same time that gives U more pulling power OMG 12 7 2O22

I never did see 👀 oliver tractors or MM tractors around here growing up U just didn't see them around here both tractors are good pulling and working tractors OMG 12 7 2O22

If a 146 hp 2255 would pull all those implements I imagine a 175 hp JD 6030 would have just played with them. Those tractors regularly came out of the factory at 200+ hp. A 1566 would’ve been a good puller at the time as well at 160 pto hp.

It's painful for me to hear them keep saying "no one beat white" that Oliver tractor was designed tested and proven long before those jackasses came along to suck money from the business

My 2-135 is a 77, so it's probable these men built my tractor.

Love these old videos! Really liked the part when the test said they could do 500 acres in 8 days. Forgot about the 4 day’s downtime. Lol!!!

A green White. How odd. But I guess if they wanted to keep Oliver, MM, and Cockshut customers, that was one way that *might* work.

And that was gear driven fwd and JD did hyd driven fwd at the time

The young boys don't know this is their their favorite Cummins motor came from

ours was 3208 Cat again ours was the last of the 2255's and we never had to replace that suppose ably throw engine Cat we had three 3208's no problems

fond memories 😊

we both as Canadian Whites 2270 & we had later on 2255 with MFWA

I know what White was up to. They were destroying Oliver.

No matter.......just real hard to out run a deere

Agco..?

the only reason why I love the MM brand was their livery: yellow and white....its that goddamn simple. I have just taken delivery of a 73' MM G1355 with a cab. I now is a display piece in our shed at our summerhouse.

I'm bidding on Oliver's right now just to preserve the damn things. Truly an important piece of American history. If you have the scratch get one, don't let them die.

I love how the USAC test results "prove" the american tractors are better than the british tractor..... meanwhile in 2021 I gaurantee you more of those british tractors are still alive and working decades after all that yank trash has rusted away

why is it "surprising" that John Deere is garbage? always has been, always will be, the pretty green paint only fools simple folk without educations ;)

The different colored white tractors are really throwing me off!

3208 Cat is very easy starting.

JD was very advanced back in the day..

Excellent choice of a Cummins engine, great power shift, strong well built Tractors, hard to beat by any colour.

sure love that elevator waiting music.....lol this music is at 2:11....and whenever it comes on

I will say this if I was a farmer I would of chosen a Minneapolis Moline G1355 diesel with 145 horsepower why because of there performance and the final drive and how you can put the horsepower to ground and it's not setting on the axles like the other tractor's are it's about like a planetary axle and no wander that Minneapolis tractor's and Oliver are number one in the country because of the performance and horsepower they build tractors the right way where the horsepower goes to the ground number one 👍

i wanna see new age companys put their money where their mouths is like this lol

to me this was the Peak of tractor shape and design tho them new deeres sure look sharp also i love my workhorse on farm sim im watching these i run it

Lol. Meanwhile, White Motors ran Oliver and MM right to ruin, siphoning off loads of cash for their crappy truck division.

James Oliver started in the plow business in 1855, 18 years after John Deere. This isn't a who invented it or who is better, it is a point in history. Deere made the first self scouring plow. Oliver made chilled steel plows, which in certain soil was superior to conventional production methods. Oliver plows are quite good and are among the better ones built. Looking back, you could always tell when neighbors helped one another with different brand of plow anyways looking at the field they plowed. Some did a better job of setting theirs than others too.

"Our heritage is agriculture " yes but it's not ur heritage u stole it from Oliver

Hello Mr thank video-I am Kamil Şener-(the Ferguson Systems =%99 vorld tractors) Oliver good(güzel_sağlam dır) Massey Ferguson world Mark! (Güneş balçıkla sıvanmaz) atasözü* thankyou

I Love These Tractor Series-Real American Tractors-Built in Coldwater Ohio as far as I know. I see These Tractors as a Milestone in Tractor Manufacturing. In Europe came the Deutz 8.31 and the MF 9240 also the Lamborghini 265 as well as the Same Rubin?!? 265 based on the White Tractors. My Heart's beatn for US Tractors since I wos a Kid-No Lie!! I'd love to ride one of These 6100 White Youngtimers. WHITE an American Name that got lost in the US Tractor Industry like a view to Me really great sounding American Tractor Manufactures.🇩🇪🤝🗽🇺🇸🌠

Love my jetstar 3 super. Telo-flow hydraulics, power steering, ampli torque transmission, long stroke gas 4 cylinder, heavy duty front axel. Dunno what all they got compared to the big models, but it certainly was alot of tractor back then and still is. Mine even has a cab, but I believe it was modified to accept it. Excellent tractor and its in the late model all Prarie gold yellow.

"Everything was checked, and rechecked..." to make sure the Oliver would win, since White was putting on the show, right?! Kind of strange they chose a 1468 instead of the far more popular 1466. But they both made basically the same power (the 2600 rpm version of the 6-cyl, that is, which began production in late 1972), so I guess it doesn't matter. That DT436 in a 1466 would've started much quicker than the DV550 in the 1468 though.
