These little outfits shined on little 40 to 80 acre farms.

это у них в Америке кулаки кровососы-фермеры, а нам такое не нужно. Будем разводить и жрать кузнечиков...

40 inch or 16 inch rows or anything in between, works perfectly fine with this outfit

Cool picture of all the equipment together!

Very cool!

Be quite a load for this little Ford in the hills picking and pulling a wagon.

WOW..............and today machines can take up to 16 rows in one pass. !!!

Glad to see your back posing videos!

This is back when small farmer could make a respectable living. Wish we still could.

My father had one in the mid 1960’s. I remember helping by hand harvesting two rows to open up fields, otherwise the tractor knocked them down. Other than being very slow, it actually did a great job!

When Ford Motor Company was Ford Motor Company !👍

Better not have to travel on any roads. No way to see any traffic from the left at any intersection .

This is really a great piece of Ford heritage.

Cool video!

Good job guys! With that you get down your neck corn instead of cab corn if you don't pay attention! Thanks

Man if you find another one let me know!!! Or if there's a club I can join... I got three rare Ford Red painted Gleaner T3 combines with Ford 172 Industrials Engines on them... Willing to pay top dollar for one of them Ford Picker Shellers if anyone finds one!

AWESOME to see in action!!!

We had a neighbor mount 1 of these red ford pickers on a wd45 chalmers. He set on the husking bed. Good little picker.

Before Grandpa got the JD 4400, dad said we had two Case pull type combines. There are parts of one in the grove. I found the books for them. I'm only 40 urs old, but i love the old equipment and tractors better than the modern stuff. I grew up on a Ford 8n, and still use it for lots of farm work. Plus many other small tractors that get yearly work.

The one with wider cab was probably 640 I had one

Great restoration of old Ford chopper wish I could find information on who built the model 605 chopper for Ford but that is a great restoration

We had the same exact set-up other than the 961 was a diesel. We also had the sheller attachment, Ford 501 3pt sickle mower, Ford baler, and Ford 2 bottom plow. Do you guys still run them in the fall? I'm from Chilhowee Missouri. I would love to come see the Fords in action if you do!!!

Very nicely done guess I never realized Ford had very good corn pickers really liked the 4200 with the 602. Again very nicely done, thank you!

I have a golden jubilee and a 651 workmaster

I just got one of these old girls

Just got old one. Drained fluids n fixed it up it’s freaking cool AF

Those Ford pickers were popular in our area. I remember 5 in a 2 mile radius of where I grew up.

Pull type Dearborn corn picker for sale on Craig's list Salt Point NY. Near Poughkeepsie.

Nice

I recently acquired a Ford 601 16-65 picker. Serial no. 5130. Was told it's a 1954 . First year built? It has a " low tin" snout on the right side that is similar to the left. Have not seen another like it. The picker is in very good original condition except for some barnyard partial repaint. Are you familiar with this type of snout? I don't have social media. Just here thanks.

My dad bought one new in1966 ran it a lot I enjoyed it was a great built piece of equipment very dependable it was painted blue the 605 was built by Oliver for Ford dad was a dairy Farmer he bought it in Holly springs Mississippi it was the only one In our area didn't take.a.lot of horse power to use to get the job.done I'm 76years old now and every year around August and September it comes back to mind I feel like I'm 17again cutting corn for silage I really enjoyed using that ford605 forage harvesting corn and pulling it with dads 340 Farmall tractor

Airplanes, farm equipment, road tractors.....all markets Ford was in but didn't survive.....And the 6000? Sharp looking from a styling perspective but that's where it ended.

Engine 4 Perkins

Is machine ka keemat kitna hai Sarah

You need to paint the combine thanks for sharing

I want one it would be perfect for my red corn. Sadly I have never seen one

Would u be willing to sell the picker? Long shot but i have to ask

Holy shit man! I have a 1964 ford. Where did you get the picker? It looks amazing

Thanks. Nice video. Would have enjoyed running those machines. Too bad that we allowed them to run the small farmer out .

On our farm in Northwest Missouri we used our 2 row corn picker on our 960 Ford, and afterward we traded the 960 for a new row crop Fordson Major Diesel and it worked great, It had more power than the 960 and it was a heavier tractor, perfect for picking corn.

You could not give me one for free

The final drives and planetary gears were VERY WEAK Transmission SUCKED

Junk new and still junk

My dad would disc while pulling a 10' drag in 4th gear with the 861.

They had their problems due to management. Had one with turbo. Farmed with it for years. Very powerful tractor

Woods brothers make that

The 6000 had the first Select-o-speed transmission with no coasting gears. It just wasn't thoroughly tested yet. The fix was minor. The defective wrist pins was another killer. What Deere came out with the next year sealed it's fate. Had Ford taken just a little more engineering time, they would have been a solid #2 because the 560s were eating rear ends. They were smooth and pulled 5-14s well. Any attempt to get more power out of them lead to sure destruction of the wrist pins and pistons.

Boy, talking about setting themselves and everyone else in their industry up for disaster... The Ford 6000 was one of the coolest tractors ever built, but a long, long piece from the best.

Have a blue 201, great disc

Awesome !
