Corn picking from fall 2020

2 John Deere 730s at work last fall picking corn and filling the corn crib before winter. Thanks for watching!

[@dankinnard1833]

Great video! Takes me back 60 years, we didn't do it on a scale this grand, but just the same we still basically did it in the same fashion. Thanks for posting!

[@herbhouston5378]

How well I remember those days. For me it was in the late 50s and early 60s. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. Those were good times. Life was so much easier and pressure was something I never knew anything about. Oh, and I can remember the smell of the air and the smell of the corn stalks when they were broken by the picker. I knew an old farm who just used a snapper because he wanted the husk left on for the ground feed. Good times.

Takes me back to the days of my youth. Ground ear corn is a great base for any feed mix. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AnglesideFarm]

Loved it! Now all you need is a couple pheasant flying out of the corn.

[@larrykrise3609]

thank you.enjoyed it much.this is the way dad and i did it.

[@FriendlyCleaningKC]

The book corny the corn picker has become a live action show 👍🏽😜

[@tonycoupland6281]

A great of ear corn harvest!!

[@darwinmunk378]

I remember my dad had a 237 on his JD 720 then bought a JD 4000 diesel in 71 and put the 237 on it, lot more power, i remember running that noisy machine, we wore ear protection running it, also remember going over to the neighbors and opening lands for them for their pull type picker, also, not enough warm clothes in the world to stay warm running that machine in late fall here in South Dakota

[@donnellykieranj]

Fantastic...love it. Greetings from Ireland.

Nothing better than a chorus of 2 cylinder Deeres in concert during harvest.

[@jamesmorgan1024]

Still gets the job done

Like a time warp... flashback to the early’60s...

[@fredkorth9715]

Thank you, I fully enjoyed the video

[@darylpischner6304]

In the old days like this we had I.H. picker. Our good days we would 11 loads a day. My neighbor had a New Idea picker and he would get 30 loads a day. Still have a elevator paddle in my man cave.

[@Deandeere4020]

Wow that's awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@timnichols9015]

I remember my dad talking to the neighbors when he got 13 loads in a day! 3010 diesel was our picker tractor…..still have it, restored……will run a MK 100 71 Westfield auger this fall.

[@tonyhester9262]

That’s cheating my grandfather scooped his into the crib until he was 72.

Wow!

Such great memories! I can smell the fall and corn right threw this video!😊 I miss the old days! Thanks for another great video!

I hope I'm not the only one that could smell "fall" while watching this great video.

Beautiful set of Jonny poppers. Forever n alway “more than two cylinders is a waste”

When I was 7 to10 years old I ran a 630 for my dad. I'm 60 now. That old iron still getting it done. Thanks for the videos.

[@dennisjohnson3928]

Nothing sounds better than a Johnny popper grew up on a 730 diesel

[@keithkuckler2551]

I pulled a New Idea Superpicker with my 4020 diesel, it was a great combo, and, it would just cruise 150 bushel corn. I used my really nice 530 on the elevator, and, pulled wagos with my 3020 diesel. Those were the days, simple rugged, dependable machines that would last forever if you maintained them well.

[@Deandeere4020]

Really nice. Thanks for sharing!

[@Frontpagefab]

That corn crib reminds me of the setup my granddad had.

[@hughwhaley3179]

The good old times i spent many days with a John deere 60 and a new idea 2 row🚜🌽🌽👍

[@glenirwin1110]

What row widths can that mounted picker do?

[@Deandeere4020]

38 or 40 inch

[@organbuilder272]

There is nothing, absolutely nothing on a farm more beautiful than the sound of a John Deere. Big. Noisy and you know that thing is working for all its worth. The odern JD is too clean, too smooth, to complex. Get down and pull that flywheel. 3 four times and off it goes.. Damn, memories are made of this.

Awesome vid. The sound, youth experience of what it means to work and what will end up as food Forrest cattle or sow. , Did I mention the sound of the 720 with a little load? Brings back the yearnings of youth I bitched about then but look forward to in retirement. Restoring a 70 now as well as a 40 9N Ford. Thanks for posting

Where are you located? I was born/raised in central Minnesota and now live in cheese country (Wisconsin) and while I’ve traveled the world for work,what draws me backtrack my roots is the work ethic and smell of shit ( cow manure) that feeds our great county.

[@d5ncat227]

The way farming should be, I'd say that corn was not sprayed multiple times, that spray kills it all including the farmer,,,,eventually,,,,

[@greggergen9104]

Which pick faster the Deere mounted picker or the New Idea?

[@Deandeere4020]

The new idea is a little less worn out and does a better job for sure.

[@greggergen9104]

We had 3 different 227 pickers. They never seemed as capable to me as the New Idea pull types.

I recently subscribed, recognized your fine farm from photos in Green Magazine I believe. My family back in the day used JD60, 237 picker with Parker gravity wagons. Wagons were made about 18 miles away in Silver Lake IN., near our farm. We were early customers of the wagons early 60's. They were very efficient.

PTO shaft needs shield.

[@tootired76]

Exactly why would you harvest corn on the ear instead of combining all of it? Do you shell it later to add to livestock feed??

[@Deandeere4020]

Back in the day ppl kept the corn in cribs and didn't take it off the cob. The corn would sit in the crib until time to feed and then you would grind up the cob and corn all together to feed out. It was alot more work with shoveling that everyone today has gone away from with the combines

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Cool video. What year is the 620?

[@davehunt5766]

Hopefully someone pointed out a back tire on the gravity wagon was dragging

[@bernardniesen8694]

What about a rear unloading wagon, with the front wheels on a hoist run by PTO?

[@Deandeere4020]

Haven't found one of those yet!

[@n.elliottnoorlun8304]

Just discovered and LOVE your channel!!! My dad used Farmalls of this era, but our dear neighbors were JD all the way. Have always enjoyed the sound of a good old "Johnny Popper". Keep up the great work in using these classic machines in your farm life there!!! ;o)

How come you had a sorry stand of corn

[@Deandeere4020]

Old planter missed a few rows and we never had the time to fill them in after it came up

[@daveborchers5649]

Loved the days of ear corn. My dad had IH picker on560D and my mom's dad would unload. Every year he would go to the shed and get his haybuck tooth that had broken off to start and regulate the corn coming out of the wagon.
