[@louGriggs1944]

Really enjoyed this one. I absolutely love that you are caring for and using this older equipment that still has a lot of life it it. Keep up the great work. Thanks a lot.

[@jerryfischer3988]

Always enjoy these videos. Especially when George gets to do his splainin😅

[@markflick1641]

Really enjoyed the process of stripping it down and service . Great video fellas .👍

[@Leslie-y9l]

You have this chore down to a science, getting faster every year!

[@5jkratz]

Hi Guys, Your shop projects are interesting because you take the time to explain what's going on and what the results are, thank you both.

[@phillipsmith7081]

always a joy to watch and learn. as a kid we had an H Farmall with a mounted two row picker that was supposed to be on an M. dad bought it with the tractor. this content brings back many memories from the late 60s and early 70s. Thank you for your videos. an old Hoosier now in Tennessee

[@blakeu5219]

Big fan of the shop videos, as well as all of your other videos. Good wholesome content, keep it up guys!

[@VALHOWELL]

I never hear the air compressor run. Where is it that it is so silent? You guys are the greatest. Work ethic, knowledge, ability. Love to see Mom out there helping out too. What a girl!

[@georgeleray5657]

[@paulreis1648]

I bought a brand new 319 picker a few years after they quit making them. I found it at a dealer while looking at used ones. It was on a pallet and had never been assembled. Then I found an extremely nice 322 husking bed. Then a I think was a 315 sheller. I had it all on a Allis D19. The sheller didn't have the capacity for modern corn yield, and you had to drive slow. Then I got a IH 1026 hydro, and with a triple front end extension, put the picker on it. But that sheller was just to small. I bought a 329 super sheller and spent an entire summer with my grandpa making it work on a mounted picker. We had to make a cross auger for it, and since on a pull picker the gear box is on the picker, I had to put a gear box on the sheller to drive it. But the original NI gear box as is would drive it backwards. So the spline on the main shaft had to be made longer so the gear could be flipped to the other side. The wagon auger had to be stood up straight also. Since it was so heavy I beefed up the sub frame also. It worked perfectly. The big tractor had more than enough power, and the hydro drove it nicely. The only thing that held it back was that if I drove too fast, it would pull the corn out by the roots before it would snap the ears. That was at 5 3/4 mph. Fast enough anyway. It would easily out do a NH TR70 across the fence in my neighbors. I ended up going to a combine and sold the picker and husker. It didn't go far away and idk if it might still be at that farm or not. I still have the Super Sheller that I built with my grandpa though! I kinda wish I had everything back again! That sheller is the only one in existence for a mounted picker as far as I know. 0:00

Been waiting on this video. Can’t wait to see a new picking video.

[@dalebennett9867]

Love old equipment and how it works keep up the good work

[@davidnoftz3795]

Like the videos of using older equipment. Takes me back to a simpler life. No cabs, no GPS, no air conditioner. If you made enough the year before or found one cheap at an auction, you could have an umbrella or a heat houser.

[@Bentwrench28]

Many times when I was much younger mounting the picker on the Super 77 was a job I always enjoyed.

[@hturbo1007]

I love watching someone else mount a new Idea picker on their tractor , because I still mount one every year on our Farmall M. You're right. It depends on how well you line everything up with how well the picker will mount. Sometimes it will fight you every step of the way. The frame that you were mentioning is called " The sub frame ".

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Aaron

[@farmshoffman8475]

My favourite time and silage too

[@CarlWickman-m6y]

We had mounted NI picker 12 roll bed. Didn’t have sheller unit. Mounted on a 460 farmall diesel. We were on 36” rows. We had a different set of rear wheels mounted up that were real narrow we always switched over to for the picker.

[@samcampbell5256]

Hi guys love what you guys are doing there. I wish we had a 2 row picker we pick with a new idea one row picker pull type works good until it gets wet on the muck where we usually pick the one wagon follows right in the tractor tracks that pulls a lot easier but our second wagon will pull the picker side ways in the mud. Its going to be a long harvest for us it wet here in Ontario NY

[@greggergen9104]

I just checked out the 686 on Tractor Data. Great tractor, very fuel efficient.

[@virginiagraber9070]

Awesome, 👌 Thanks! ( Naaman)

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

Yes love the shop videos.

[@Timkrenz-gr6ol]

❤😊 LOVE WATCHIN THE VIDEOS ❤😊 I ALSO SHARED THE VIDEO WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE PICKED CORN ❤😊2 OF THEM JUST DO IT FOR FUN ❤😊

[@Timkrenz-gr6ol]

One guy does the show by a Spring Valley Mn and the other other Guy is by Redwood Falls Mn his Business is called BLUE RIBBON SERVICE

[@JackieClark-sw6nf]

Thank for sharing that does bring back memories when I was a kid we had one of them on a AC D17

[@anthonyhengst2908]

When the 686 gets dressed up in its working tuxedo. All it needs now is its bowtie.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting

[@bustersmith5569]

That's a very clean 868 !!!!

[@alfredomarotta6604]

686😂

[@bustersmith5569]

​. My bad,,

[@glennsevert6596]

I always enjoy your videos. I remember my dad purchasing a 8 roll NI Picker 2 row narrow pull type, new in 1969, because I was a junior in HS. I remember him talking with a neighbor that had a 12 roll with the sheller unit, before deciding to go with the 8 roll. Dad was not worried about getting a 12 roll for ear corn, as we had a combine he used for soybeans and shelled corn. I don't remember any farmers that had mounted pickers and how long they were produced.

[@IH1256MAN]

I wasn't alive yet but my dad bought a brand new New Idea 319 with a 12 roll husking bed in 1976ish and had it mounted on a 400 Farmall. We used it every year up until we they burnt up in 2002

[@BobLee-o6j]

Worked for a farmer south of Eau Claire in the sixties. He had the same kind of mounted corn picker that you are using. His tractor was an Allis Chalmers D-17. He especially bought the D-17 with narrow set front wheels to be able to use that corn picker.

[@clinthochrein888]

Depends on how often it gets blown. Dad use to take air filters like the 86 a soak it in water in the milk house . Once a year but generally air blown. I always thought those mounted pickers were the cats meow.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi Gierek farms from Indiana, when I was a kid every time I always wanted to know how they mount a corn picker on a tractor I never how they did that now watching you guys do it i do understand now how you it is done thanks to you guys

[@brianhayes7618]

Always thought the mounted pickers were the way to go. We always used a single row new idea picker to pick ear corn oh how times have changed from the 60's and 70's. Always enjoy your videos

[@hturbo1007]

I looked up when the 319 started production. It was around 1958.

[@KellyBenedix]

We picked a lot of corn with a 656 gas and a 234 IH picker.

[@JG-six-gun]

Thanks

[@oddJOB7036]

Ready for jousting. 😊

[@IH1256MAN]

Also as far as narrow rows. I'm not sure New Idea ever built a narrow row picker, 1 row is all that will work in narrow rows. However I'm sure JD built a 3 row narrow pull type. A Uni-System would be another option if you wanted narrow rows

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Looks like you did this few times 😂, mounting the picker that is.

[@BrentSandwith]

Very interesting Love all your tractors Ever have or use any Ford tractors? Our farm has always been run by Fords and International

[@johnhatt1219]

Of course I do because you don’t see old equipment still working today

[@bustersmith5569]

I hope Oliver 1650 got fixed ??

[@michaelleach4868]

I would wager not many farmers use mounted pickers anymore. My brother is still using a 300 John Deere three row pull type.

[@brianabramson5313]

How often do you need to replace the hydraulic fluid?

[@grantmagnuson4883]

I like shark videos

[@maddog2771]

Hay, it's your fuel, not mine . If you want to blow it out, then have it

[@Blackwellll3066]

I'm courious if ya ever buy a international 686 and just leave the picker in it so one would have a picker on it a d one would be just a tractor

[@greggergen9104]

With a little luck every year you shave 5 mintues off the mounting time.

[@grantmagnuson4883]

The KZbin channel I was country girl that’s Iowa country girl switch to 30 inch rows this year and they found a three row 30 inch picker pull type. No sense Iowa country girl no longer is on KZbin, good luck in finding that family.

[@markpigman209]

Why don't your dad leave the picker on , and buy another tractor for every day use

[@ericpeterson9051]

You’re not supposed to blow out air filters. And reuse them.
