John Deere 730's picking corn

730 gas, 730 LP, 3010 diesel and a 4520 picking corn the last couple years.

Cool have picked corn with 720 just like old times love it.

Knew a old boy back home that kept a 70 with a mounted picker for doing his ear corn until he was retired. The picker never came off and was usually parked in a crib allyway when not in use.

Sounds& sights bring back wonderful memories

You just can't beat those old "poppin Johnnies". Love'm.

I wish the clocks would go back to that era!

We would have been so excited to have a 2 row picker, We had a 1 row Wood Bro's picker, on good days we picked about 10 acres. pulling a 35 or 40 bushel wagon. long days and lots of shoveling, to the crib, and then shovel it back out, to shell and run through the fanning mill to clean, then grind into feed or take to the elevator to sell. Dad is gone, but the memories are still vivid as ever. Thanks for Your efforts in this vid.

We had a 227 on a john deere 630. As everyone says had great memories of sitting in the wagons being pulled. Dad got tired of putting in on and off the 630 so he bought an Late model A, I was 11 and only drove that outfit, as my dad would say, one time and that was between fields. Couldn't turn the steering wheel unless the tractor was moving.

My dad had one of these on a 70 and we picked around 150 acres of corn every yr.. man.. I remember the dust.. paying for breathing all that stuff now.. in mid 60's

4520 sure was overkill for the same work the ol poppers were achieving! I own a 1951 Model A and just did my first plow days.

[@captseamus]

My dad had a pull type two row Minneapolis Moline corn picker with a 1949 MM "G"... M&W pistons turned 73hp on the dyno.

[@watchman4835]

Wow, I certainly remember helping Dad to mount this picker on the JD 720 back in the mid-1950s

i could listen to the opening 30 seconds of thid vid all day, those old 2 cylinders are sweet

Oh ya! The video took me back to the days of picking corn. Great memories! Like all farm work, it’s work but very satisfying work when a field of corn is out or soybeans, etc. and you’ve beaten the weather. I enjoyed picking corn and later on in my farm life shelling corn. I enjoyed the smell, working outside on a great fall day, listening to the engine sounds, ah! Good memories! Thanks for the video!

Those propane tractors started at the first piston up. Run smooth and no leaks...

Hi Dean,

[@mikeschwandt6050]

Thanks for the video. I use to pick corn with a 720 and a 227 picker.

[@williskinder7794]

Loved my old 70s & 730 s great tractors with I still had all three I've owned.

[@alanfoley1827]

Reminds me of my boyhood living the farm life then !

[@christophermeyer6414]

I miss the old days of farming. I remember riding in the wagon like that when I was a kid!

[@donbenson5292]

Lots of power for two row picker.. ha. Neighbor had a 730. Loved that sound.
