Insides of JD 300 Picker w/o Eating Camera

Two weeks after the start of picking and the corn hasn't dried much.

[@robertthomas5590]

One of the reasons I enjoy watching your videos its much more inline with a the smaller family farm. Not the mega operation that for many farmers isn't realistic . I enjoy anything farming and appreciate how you explain things.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Thank you

[@GerraldFarms]

Wish I was closer I enjoy modifying things to fit the new need. We converted a 850 New Holland Round Baler to a unroller to rebale our big round bales to small squares as we need them. Have a good weekend

[@boehmfarm4276]

Vacations are always fun too.

[@PAHerefords]

We just took our wire cribs and fitted old barn metal on the sides... keeps rain and critters out, and much cheaper than grain bins.

[@patrickmorgan3326]

Very interesting to see all the innermost giblets of the corn picker and no cameras were harmed in the process. The next rainy day should give you a chance to fix up some side boards for that wagon.

[@jazzerbyte]

Loading modern corn yields into that husking bed shows how some can sneak though with husks by riding other ears.

[@crazydave4455]

That Deere design is quite a bit different than our new idea picker. The new idea handles the modern yields pretty well.

[@thesmallscalefarmer1849]

We put up a corn crib I got for free a couple weeks ago. Already got a bunch of corn in it. I have my cousins ride in the wagon to push it all around.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Thanks for the views of that corn picker you got with the placement of your camera.

[@boehmfarm4276]

You're welcome.

[@geraldhaury4199]

Just look at the pretty green paint at work! 😀

[@boehmfarm4276]

Ugly green.

[@lukestrawwalker]

You might talk to someone at a seed plant, like OliverFarmBoy... or go tour a seed plant. My nephew and his sister's FIL work at the Pioneer seed plant up in Plymouth, Indiana. All their seed corn is picked by 8-12 row pickers and dumped into trucks, and hauled up to their plant and put into bins. Now these are some MEGA bins, of course, but from what they've told me basically they have a tunnel underneath the center of the bin with a conveyor in there-- they open the door in the bottom and the corn dumps onto the conveyor which drags it out from under the bin. This tunnel is big enough that guys can crawl in there to unplug it when something bad happens (as my nephew has had to do before). The corn then goes through cleaners and huskers and shellers, more cleaners and sorters and stuff and then is bagged or put into bulks. Later! OL J R : )

[@jeffgerbing1230]

Loved this video , liked seeing how it all works thank you

[@mikebrown1188]

Been a long time since I seen a picker up close. We used to pick everything until our feed mill quit taking ear corn to grind. I got the run the picker some. Used to see a lot of deer while running it.

[@rodder2046]

What few pickers that are left in my area are New Idea or Ford. I can not recall ever seeing a green machine working in the field. Yours seems to handle the job just fine. I'm sure you have mentioned the 2+2 lately but somehow I've missed your comment. What is the current status of the 2+2 ?

[@boehmfarm4276]

It's waiting for winter to get finished.

[@coreytrout3857]

I would love to haveoneof those pickers, we finished the other day after picking 44 loads with a one row new idea that looks like its flying across the field

[@boehmfarm4276]

That's a lot of picking for one row.

[@Joey966]

Looked like you were tryin to swim in that corn wagon.

[@naturegirlmia]

A lag bolt in a small hand held drill, a short piece of 2 in pvc pipe with 4 screws drilled into the end of it...screws of corse facing in. Screw the lag bolt into the center of the ear, stick the narrow end of the ear into the pvc...pull the trigger...boom shell corn. Kevin

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Great video Jacob how much corn have you picked so far and how close are you to corn & soybean harvest stay safe out there

[@boehmfarm4276]

This video make six wagons of ear corn total.

[@michaelowen1750]

Great views of essentially the front end of every modern corn head... But where does the shelled corn end up- as it doesn't seem to make it to the wagon...

[@boehmfarm4276]

It goes in the wagon.

[@l337pwnage]

If the head shells it, you're SOL on every picker I'm aware of, but they all seem to have kernel recovery under the the husking bed. However, it can be hard to see on many machines. In this case, go to the part that shows cobs dropping in the elevator to the wagon. At the far left you see a little paddle conveyor dumping kernels into the main elevator. Those are recovered kernels. For extra credit, try to figure out where the trash blower is on this machine. ;)

[@Danthehistoryman]

Awesome video, located in NE Ohio, definitely a soggy mess up here

[@fsonpc7612]

This is a nice machine Awesome video

[@terribreneman5578]

You hate rain so much you ought to try living in NW Missouri where I live ,When we get a rain we are only 3 days from the next drought!! ,Otherwise THANK YOU for all you do ,I look so much forward to your videos!

[@boehmfarm4276]

That sounds like heaven.

[@rogercarrico4975]

We under that concept here in North Mississippi Terri. A wet year will scare you. But a Dry year will break you. I hate a wet, muddy harvest like anyone. But those hot dry summers that we have had in the past. Stay in my memory more than anything!!!!!!

[@mattlyon5156]

I want to see what you want to do with a grain bin to hold ear corn Personally I Would love to be part of that, AWESOME when one thinks outside the box

[@makingithappen5178]

Probably has the machine earned his name now? It has worked well. There will be no explosions longer when connected.

[@jaimemarquez390]

How the rest of the con plant is cut or gathered yo make pakers?

[@lolandhaulk851]

Well at 23% you could use your GT batch dryer you bought a few years ago. If start harvesting with the TR86.

[@train1962]

Nice video. You sure snow how to get the most out of your camera.The gearhead in me found it quite engaging.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Tractor seat views are boring.

[@MrMagnum7220]

Too wet to pick I believe. Gonna mold I believe. Did you chop corn?

[@jaimemarquez390]

how many hp must the tractor have to operate the jd 300?

[@billhunter8868]

Great video keep’em coming.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

My New Idea picker is about wore out. Think I might look for a Deere. Looks like you got that one dialed right in

[@boehmfarm4276]

You'll probably just get a worn out Deere, so be prepared to dump money into it.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

@@boehmfarm4276 that'd be my luck!!

[@gregorythompson2251]

Thank u. Enjoyed that

[@farmerjackandroy]

If you want to sale some of them ears i would buy a big load. Nice video thanks for sharing

[@boehmfarm4276]

I pick ear corn just for selling.

[@hturbo1007]

Isn't there any round corn cribs setting idle in your area that you can purchase??

[@boehmfarm4276]

Buying a crib is not the point when I have two unused bins here.

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video!!

[@sharronwhite2338]

Cool vid

[@AntiGovernmentAction]

Love your videos

[@oldretireddude]

The chain sprocket and shaft that are in frame at 0:15min seems to be moving independently of its mounts.

[@boehmfarm4276]

The chain doesn't sit in that sprocket well. The chain is newer and I think the sprocket is worn.

[@conortimm733]

We always called those rake silage forks

[@gunnerwag6230]

How did you get all of the money to buy your equipment

[@boehmfarm4276]

Slowly while farming.

[@michaelwhisnant5666]

How's the 2+2 coming along

[@ryandehling7110]

How’s the 2 plus 2

[@Andaman1979999]

Do what we did and build a corn crib yourself. telephone poles, sheep and goat wire and a place to fill from the top and put a series of slats on the side to unload.

[@boehmfarm4276]

If I didn't already have the bins sitting here unused, that would be great.

[@gregfuller4318]

How many acres you picking this year?

[@boehmfarm4276]

As many as possible. Depends on rain.

[@ethanlee9441]

Are you pickin corn or are you shellin corn lol

[@brianbenedix4942]

I have a concrete pad that I put a ring of wooden snow fence on store 1500 to 2000 bushels on ever year. Can put on dirt just have it out by spring

[@robertpayne2717]

If you had an old hand operated corn shelter you could have shelled 5 or 6 ears in the time you hand shelled the one

[@ethanlee9441]

To convert a grain bin into a corn crib you need cattle panels or pig panels.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

PAHerefords has a good idea!

[@zacharyward4942]

Some fun places to stick your fingers in!!! That's if ur in to that kind of stuff 😜😂

[@jankotze1959]

Nice, i guess all the loose kernels in the wagon go for chicken feed

[@boehmfarm4276]

They go right along with the ear corn. It's all weight.

[@robertcowden9484]

What's going on with the 2 plus 2 not hearing anything about it. That's a bad sign it's really bad up date please lol

[@boehmfarm4276]

It's just waiting for winter to get finishing touches.

[@caylatroyer7605]

You should do a equipment tour

[@superliner101hobbyfarming]

Have you ever considered making fodder bales?

[@boehmfarm4276]

I would, but it have to not rain from October first onwards.

[@curtweatherbee2523]

Yeah corn dance🤪

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@user-rs1990]

You must've been very cautious while filming all the inner workings! Make even one slight misstep and you'll be eaten!

[@ellenkelnhofer3539]

I hope you can reach 100k at least

[@boehmfarm4276]

Probably take another year.

[@ethanlee9441]

Id use the cattle ones because there thicker

[@2TurntCoyote5.0]

Gears and chains the best thing since sliced bread

[@boehmfarm4276]

The worst part of sliced bread is the odd number is slices and always having a heal left over.
