The Oliver 1955 of Björn Schütte and Patrick Knue from Gleessen in North Germany has a new home now. The green tractor, which was built for the 4.5t/9920lbs and 5.5t/12125lbs sport class was already for sale since the end of the 2019 German pulling season. In 2019, Björn and his team also won the German Championship title in the 4.5t sport class with this machine. But that wasn't the only title for the team with this Oliver. They won in the past between 2013 and 2018 further German Championship titles too. Björn and Patrick also competed with the 1955 sometimes in the 4.5t super sport class, like in Kalkar, Germany in 2019. In June of 2020, the tractor was completely sold to 2 guys from the federal state of Nordrhein Westfalen. The two new owners of the Oliver 1955 are Manuel Terhorst from Emmerich am Rhein in Germany and Kai van Haal from Anholt in Germany. Both are experienced in farm stock pulling for quite a while.
Manuel Terhorst is the owner and driver of the IH hobby sport tractor called ''Red Gun'' and Kai van Haal is the owner and driver of the IH 744 hobby sport tractor called ''Trouble Maker''.
Both are team members of the Arrogante Hobbysportler team or also better known as Team Ramm Schwatt. This Team also owns a second IH hobby sport tractor which is called Red Sensation. With this tractor, the team won in 2018 and 2019 the German Championship title in the 4.5t hobby sport class.
For the future the new owners have planned to compete with the Oliver 1955 in 4.5t and 5.5t sport class in the German Championship.
And what do Björn Schütte and his team after they have sold tractor?
They are currently planning and working on a new alcohol fired Oliver component tractor for the 3.5t/7700lbs limited super stock class. The first parts of the new project are in progress but a start for 2021 is not planned at the moment.
