Brings back memories of being on the farm in the 50's.. elder farmer across the road had 35 acres of corn that he would use the excuse that he'd open the field by hand picking the first few rounds with the team of horses and then hire a picker to do the rest.. but three years in a row he couldn't stop picking by hand. Picked well into the winter until finally finished. He was 75 around that time. Helped another farmer mount his JD picker on an old A JD. That was a learning experience not forgotten. Great video of the old pickers and tractors. tks.

Corn pickers of most popular makes. Mounted pickers from John Deere, IHC/Farmall, Allis Chalmers, Ford and New Idea. I HC made a 234 picker that mounted on a M or bigger tractor and Model 24 husker that mounted on a H or M that did not pull the husks off the ears. IHC found out the outer wheel bearings on the 460's was not heavy enough to take the mounted 234 pickers. My aunt traded her M in for a 460 but it was a later one that the dealer had that had the heavier outer wheel bearings into. You had to slide the wheels out to the end of the axle to mount the pickers on it. It is no wonder that John Deere took over the tractor maker with the 10 series tractor it was not only power the the 460 and 560 tractors just did not have heavy enough rear ends behind the motors.

Picked a lot of corn with my dad. He had an International 234 on a super M. We picked earn corn up to 1996 when my dad converted to combining all shel corn. Great video. Believe it or not; these machines were a blessing because before that the family, neighbors, and community would go out with a team of horses and a wagon and pick ear corn by hand and thrown it in the wagon. These machines were revolutionary in the farming industry. Lots of memories as a kid. No cabs on the tractors either; was super dirty work back the too. :) thanks for the great video!

Corn binders were mainly used to make the corn shocks standing in the field to dry the corn allowing harvest to begin earlier in the fall. If chopping to fill the silo, we loaded the wagon right off the binder.. not let it drop on the ground and have to pick them up by hand as shown. Similar binders were used to bind oats into bundles that were picked up and made into shocks for drying, later to be brought in and tossed into the thrashing machine. Was fortunate at 14 and 15 yrs old to be part of a thrashing crew of 6 farmers. Quite an experience.

The first farm I worked on had two New Idea pickers, one with a sheller on it. We picked enough ear corn to feed 40 dairy cows plus heifers and dry cows and a handful of steers. The corn we shelled was fed to around 500 sheep. We stored the corn in chopper wagons and then filled all of the gravity wagons. The contrast between that farm and the 400 cow dairy I help out on today is amazing but I miss doing a lot of that old work. I don't care for tractors that try to do my thinking for me.

Corn shocks standing in corn fields were once a common sight during harvest. This method of drying corn (Zea mays) was replaced once mechanical harvesters appeared on the scene. Today corn shocks are more commonly seen in fall displays that may also include pumpkins, gourds, and straw bales.

No one was happier than me when my dad finally went out and bought a corn picker. Being a boy of 5 or 6 out in the corn field shucking corn and then stouking it, was not my favourite activity as a boy on the farm. For me, baling hay and straw, throwing those bales around on the wagon and then on to the elevator was far more fun then shucking corn by hand. Did I mention, my brother and I then had to fill up the corn crib - by hand. Nope, I can safely say I hated corn.

Not being a farmer what is the difference between the 3 different front ends on the tractors. 1. Wide, 2. 2 wheel narrow, and 3. single wheel front end. I have always wondered what the advantages/disadvantage of the three were.
@davenhla
@davenhla 5 жыл бұрын
The double wheel narrow configuration was popular back in the 30's through the 50's. A single front wheel was considered an economy version of the double. There were several reasons why the narrow front was used, I have heard stuff like reduced crop damage during things like cultivating, improved visibility, shorter turning radius(you used the brakes to help turn the tractor sharper then the wheels would turn even) Wide front has taken over as it is considered to be more stable on hills, with heavier loads, and just in general with how big tractors started to get in the 50's and 60's. Many of the original wide fronts on old tractors were 3rd party designed kits to swap out on narrow front tractors. I am not sure any of the old IH H's or M's ever left the factory with a wide front, but they are out there because farmers put those swap kits on.

Never seen a set up on a JD spoke wheel A that allowed the picker to have live power at the 11:30 mark, so apparently they must drive the picker from the flywheel with a disconnect clutch and also I seen the steering wheel looking adapter hanging on the left rear of the picker that has an extension to still hand crank the tractor. I would say that #25 two row mounted picker is by far the oldest John Deere mounted picker I have ever seen. We had a 137 mounted on a A and maybe on our 70 diesel. I remember dad remarking those were a son of a gun to mount,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so after that we got a 45 round back . GOOD VIDEO !!!!!!

We used to pull a disc implement over them to "cut" them down so they wouldn't plug up the plow. We also used a modified green chopper to flail/cut them into windrows and baled them up for animal bedding on occasion. Also, never underestimate what a 20" moldboard plow can bury haha. We had a neighbor that used one of those 70 series crab steer Case tractors and an adjustable width DMI 5 bottom plow. That plow would adjust with hyd. cylanders from 16 all the way out to I think it was 21". He could put anything under if he had it set at max width. Search youtube for some old videos of 1940's/1950's wheat production too, you will be amazed at the "green manure" being plowed under back in the day. But yeah it was faster to run them down with a disc before plowing for us with our 4x16 Melroe plow we ran for many years.

I remember cutting one stalk at a time, bundling it, shocking it and then husking one ear at a time while field mice scurried for cover. Somewhere, I still have the corn knife and husking hand (I forgot the name of it).

About the only demonstration missing to really put into perspective how important these machines were, would have been a group of 15 people with baskets hand-picking ears and carrying them to a wagon.

I have talked to farmers who were very young in the 1930’s who hand picked their families corn crop. The picker was a big advancement. .

Joshua Smith . Joshua, “Bang board”. Wow! I’ve not heard that term for FIFTY years, but I can remember our family utilizing one. We got a Case one row picker...with husking bed...when I was 7 or 8 years old. I began running the picker when I was only 8 and the neighbors joked that it looked like our Case SC was driving itself across the fields. :) Great memories!!!

When these corn pickers were knew they definitely took them on and off I would imagine most cases today it’s definitely a classic combination just for the ease of display

Lot of mounted pickers to tractors, only one self propelled, it was the moline. My dad might of had one like that, but it was before my time. I only remember the Uni 701, I actually used that machine but then we went to narrow rows and sold it to buy a pull type New Idea 2 row...///
