Oliver Celtrac HG-68 tractor - photos

I just got an Oliver HG myself a month ago. I've wanted one for many years, and finally found one for the right price and location, so I snatched it up!
Oliver Cletrac crawler tractors on these models have what's called Tru-Traction, where both tracks are powered even through turns and on slopes. Conversely, an open differential with brakes on each side will lose power in turning because as one side is braked, the other side speeds up. On the side of a slope, this can be quite bad.

I have to say, driving my Oliver HG is quite easy and smooth! It is actually easier to drive than my WD Allis Chalmers tractor!
I plan to use it to pull a rotary mower for my pasture, and once I find a small disc, to till and even the ground.
Plus I just like it!
