I do have to admit, I really enjoy seeing the old equipment out in the field working away. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@TF856]

Nice video. I appreciate the no music format. Lots of us would rather hear the equipment instead of music. Thanks again for a nice video.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Exactly. We do not click on tractor vides to hear music. But to hear tractors. Thankyou I'll take that Case 500. Love the look of it. And I always look for a different tractor not those same old red and green and yellow ones.

[@chrisnzella]

Watching this brings back memories of my child and teen years. I even itch from the dust. Thanks for sharing.

[@TomBow606]

I spent my teen and some adult years going many rounds in the field with a John Deere 101 picker mounted behind a international 504 utility diesel and a lot of time shoveling ear corn in the fall. Brings back many good memories, thanks for the video!

[@linctexpilot8337]

That Oliver is such a RARE machine....

[@PTinsman22]

Very nostalgic. I cut many rows with both A John Deere A and a 70.

[@rickiemckillip8124]

Especially with 237 mounted Pickers

[@johndeere1951a]

Yea!! For the JD A w/ single row picker. 2-cylinders with soul.

[@catfishinwithcrow685]

I wish there was a love button so many of your videos would get it

[@heartlandfarmer2720]

The mechanical corn picker was modern day high speed farming in its finest hour.

[@hayfork100]

My dad had an Oliver 88 with a mounted 2-row Oliver picker, and a 2-row New Idea pull type behind a Farmall F-20. The New Idea did a better job cleaning the shucks off the ear, and left less corn in the field. Also more accessible to work on. Late 50's.

[@ohrazda1956]

Many an October afternoon running a Case Snapper and scooping the bang wagon....those were the OLD Days> LOL

[@davidkraft3690]

That John Deere 101 semi mount is a Rare Bird ! Noticed all the open unshielded PTO's ! Such short corn, could not have been yielding very much.

[@1crazynordlander]

At 2:55 I wish I could have seen the PTO front u-joint position. I think the shaft was 90 degrees out of register with the u-joints the way that PTO shaft was jumping around. Or the power shaft bearing was out on front of that picker.

[@joshuathewelder24]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing👍🏼

[@berhorst59]

The Case 400 was crushing as much as he was picking

[@davereese2859]

Had a record cold, snowy year, record wet spring, hot dry summer. Everyone had a rough growing year.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

That was neat! Judging by the narrow gauge tracks, I'm guessing Stoughton. Also thinking it was a dry year. Looks like their picking cocktail corn.

[@davereese2859]

Antique Engine and Tractor Association working farm show north of Geneseo, Illinois. 2021 feature tractor is Minneapolis Moline in mid September.

[@chadjacobs6212]

The show is held on a farm that is pretty sandy. this crop was put in just before the river came up and took a quarter of the crop and then in July and August we went six weeks without any rain. On a normal year it will produce 100 to 150 bu per acre/

[@brokenwrench1]

we had a oliver 1 row corn picker we pulled with a AC D15 or a famall H

[@maddog2771]

That John deer picker is the same one my grandfather had on the farm

[@Colt-tf6xf]

Where was this, Hooterville? Looked like corn from the old Haney place.

[@kevintheilen9643]

While I do agree it's disappointing that the crop is poor, if you think about it it's actually ideal. We want to see the machines going through the field, not pulling out because their wagon is full or everyone behind having to stop and wait for a husking bed/wagon elevator to catch up. These machines were never designed to handle anything like modern corn yields. It's the same as plowing days, where participants have learned to bring a plow at least 1-2 bottoms fewer than their tractor would have been matched with back in the day. Keep everyone moving; not waiting for 'the weakest link in the chain' to struggle along.

[@clarencetrice4442]

there was a 1 row corn picker then went 2 a 2 row corn picker then in the late 193OS the 1ST combines were made then U could a combine 2 cut corn and beans W most people got away from the old corn pickers they took time 2 put on the tractor 🚜 and hook.up the combines were faster when they added more gears 2 them more work done and U didn't have 2 change wagons all of the time ⌚ 😊 OMG 6 29 2O24

[@bobhostetler8548]

1958 sitting on a wagon 1948 farmall H. Woods brothers picker oh I'm homesick.

[@dwightehowell8179]

I have been stunned by how much corn some corn pickers put on the ground. To be honest I think the may have wasted half the blasted crop.

[@champagnesylvie-lavieenfra1378]

🌸 *Hello from french farmers witch have old tractors too* 🌸 👓 AMAZING !!! 👓 🥂🍾🍇𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓯𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 from la FRANCE 𝓒ⒽⒶ𝓜ⓟ𝓐𝓰𝓝𝓔 𝓢Ⓨ𝓛𝓥𝓘𝓔 🍾🍷🍇

[@rickburris6164]

It looked to me like the guy on the John Deere A was the only one not trampling unpicked corn to the ground.

[@OnePieceatatimeranch]

Was it drought corn?

[@teresajohnson849]

Oliver combine for sale ?

[@herbhouston5378]

I realize this all a demonstration, but that corn is pathetic... Reminds me of Golden Bantam sweet corn of 65 years ago... However, I do enjoy the old machines I grew up with... Lot of good memories❤

[@randymagnum143]

Why is the first guy running down all the corn? 😨

[@stevensimmons8527]

Jobs as a child . ..pick up leftover corn in fields....bail hay

[@farmerjackson709]

I didn’t have any corn

[@darrelstinson4737]

There’s no corn in that corn field.

[@keithkuckler2551]

Too bad that is such sad looking corn, it hardly shows what these old machines can do.

[@cockshuttboy20]

Keith Kuckler I was thinking the same thing looks like about 2 ton to the acre corn.

[@jldav9380]

esta bien pobre la cosecha

[@Machi74005]

I really do not see how 1 or even 2 row corn pickers could have been even remotely efficient even in their day. It would take a zillion years just to cover an entire field and burn a ton of fuel doing it. Like trying to scrub an aircraft carrier with a Q tip.

[@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups]

@UC3fI0MefrtbVo69iBqkw1aw 100 percent city folk, I garuentee you, you put him (or here) out in a field of corn and tell them to pick all 20 Acer's of corn by hand, they will have deep appreciate of the ever evolving corn harvester...Aka the combine....I think city folk Machi74005 has watched to much Mike Bloomberg. All I can think of is God made a farmer poem. I myself am not city kid, but not farmer, I really appreciate farmers and sometimes help them too,

[@harrythehermit3685]

Most of those pickers could replace 10 men picking by hand... from picking to crib. As for fuel consumption... about $5 a day. Compared to today... slow and inefficient. Compared to husking... a giant leap forward. Back in the day, 100% of corn was used for livestock feed, compared to about 36% today. Back in the day, corn yields were about 1/6 of today.

[@TomBow606]

If that’s all you got is a Q-tip, then you better get to work scrubbing! Those pickers were way better than picking it by hand!

[@danw6014]

They were efficient in their day and for a small operation like mine, a low cost way to harvest and store corn fed to livestock. When I was young we planted around 150 plus acres of corn. After filling a 20×60 silo the rest was picked. We had two New Idea pickers, one with a sheller. After the cribs were full, we shelled the rest. We stored it in the chopper wagons and then filled the gravity wagons. To this day I have never seen a combine shell cleaner corn than that New Idea sheller. In heavy corn we could fill a couple of round wire cribs a day. That was about 2000 shelled bushels. Before pickers there were horse drawn binders and before that you when out with a corn knife and did it by hand.
