Will my Oliver pull this

Nick167 · Oct 22, 2015

It's a glencoe a little over 9 ft wide my Oliver is an 88 diesel no weights or ballast but good tires

Soil is clay loam

Tom-NoCenTX · Oct 22, 2015

Condition and HP of tractor?
Soil type, and what is growing on it now?
How long since the soil has been tilled?
How deep do you want to put it in the ground?
Do you suspect a lot of soil compaction?
Condition of the implement points?

just hook it up and see, it should in lite soil, how deep Iam not sure

It should pull it ok.

It will be 10.5 feet working width. That is the frame size they used on all of the field cultivators and for wider they just used extensions. And with the springs as they are it will not penetrate into hard ground, You have to let it go as deep as it will then try crossing and do same way. Crossing will give a chance for the shovels to catch in bottom of grove the shovels made first time over. and make it go deeper. Going same way for second time the shovels will just find the grove from the first time and follow them. That 88 is about same power as the late 4000 Ford and I pulled one over many a acre with it. I actually had the extensions on mine to make it cover 13.5 ft. And I aldo did pull it with my John Deere A that compairs to the Oliver 77. The Ford version made by Glenco and that is what I had has a better designed spring system for down pressure than the one sold under the Glenco name. There was also a version sold under the Case name. I did also have the 3 point version for a time in 15.5 feet but the extensions came of both shortly as that way could get around better and also the spike tooth harrow fit behind better.

You also need to watch those 2 front center shanks as being set close together they like to plug there. There was a kit to move one farther forward to get rid of that problem.

Most likely. It's not much smaller than a 1600. I've pulled a 14 foot with a 1600 in good shape.

My 1650 pulled it with no problems. Duals would help in soft ground otherwise you would sink in and always be digging out of the rut.

Throw some weights on the 88 and give it a try. My 88 has good power for its size but traction is a problem even with new tires.

My 1550 diesel pulls a 11' and drag harrow with no problem. You should be able to pull it fine. Bandit

ShepFL · Oct 22, 2015

but I am confident an 88 will pull it. Mine has plenty of power.

Off topic -
This is what Olivers can do

550 with DMI Ripper

Heck I could pull it with my Cub Cadet, as long as I don't lower it.

chuck from neb · Oct 22, 2015

Well hook on to it and try it for Pete sakes

Bryce Frazier · Oct 23, 2015

Psssh... no.... gonna need a red one to do that.....

I think you'll be find buddy.... Bryce

Pop pulled a 12 ft. Oliver field cultivator with a 1355 FWD in 4th gear low range. You should have power enough for a 9 footer. No weghts/no fluid, traction may be a problem on anything but level ground. Especially if you drop that thing in all the way.

Dont see any reason why not... Hook it up and see.
