70

The story

The Oliver Hart-Parr 70 arrived in 1935 and started a family of row-crop tractors that Oliver kept building until 1967. Oliver had a name for strong engines and for paying close attention to how its tractors looked, and the 70 set the tone with bold styling that rival makers such as Farmall and John Deere soon followed.

In common with most makers of the period, Oliver kept improving the same basic tractor under new names. The 70 became the 77, then the Super 77 and finally the 770, and the series was also sold under the Cockshutt name.
