JOHN DEERE 3010 GAS AND 237 MOUNTED CORN PICKER

[@matthewdavis9979]

Love watching these older items still putting in work

[@billknaack1098]

Brings some memories! My dad had a 227 picker on a '46 G for several years, then put the picker on a 3020 gas when he traded in the G. Later added a Model 50 sheller. Spent many evenings helping grease the bearings to get it ready for the next day. Northwest Iowa farm.

[@andrewssoundsofthepast110]

I bet that was a jump from a g to 3020

[@billknaack1098]

@@andrewssoundsofthepast110 It was just different. Dad farmed with the G for almost 20 years, so he was accustomed to it. I can't claim to know how different it was. He did the trade before I was big enough to run the G. I own the 3020 now, so I can claim to have grown up with it!

@@andrewssoundsofthepast110 Two of my brothers own the other two tractors my Dad used on the farm. A 1951 John Deere Model MT, and a 1957 Case Model 311. I have to see the tractors when I visit my brothers, visit wouldn't be complete without seeing them. (I live in Texas now, they live within 5 miles of the old farm place)

Just discovered your site and enjoyed listening to the 630 and model 42 harvesting corn. I spent my summers aboard a JD 80 or AC-WD45, depending upon which uncle's operation I had been farmed out to. I loved that 80, big, brutish and powerful. The AC being smaller pulled 3-14s where as the 80 drug 5-16's. I miss those days and the JD two cylinder tractors, NO COMPUTERS NEEDED! I cannot imagine pulling into a field, setting up the coordinates and only relying on the steering wheel at fields end. One thing, however, that GPS surely makes for straight rows! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@andrewssoundsofthepast110]

Thanks I understand what you mean but the gps sure does take a lot of fatigue off of the operator

[@Aspire2Cycle]

Very beautiful machine! I grew up using the same set up on a farm here in Iowa. Same 3010 tractor too. We had a muffler cover that added heat protection from corn stocks catching fire. Also had the sheller. Great video, thanks you.

[@andrewssoundsofthepast110]

I believe I have the additional lights and muffler guard but no sheller. Thanks for viewing

Dad and I watched your video on taking your mounted ear corn picker off I had never seen out one came off years ago my dad was involved with a new idea picker that my grandpa had mounted on a 400 case so hes got some experience with them so he was excited to show me you had a video of taking one off....some day I would like to have one but for now I just bought a 1 row new idea pull type for what little I pick

Grandpa had a 237 on a 60. Still have it. Wish it was in as good of shape as yours is.

[@andrewssoundsofthepast110]

This one was a beautiful original. I was back up bidder at a sale about 8 years ago. When the old man that owned it had sale I finally got ahold of it

Nice corn picker

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

We had our 237 on a 630. Sure brings back memories.

[@andrewssoundsofthepast110]

Normally run it on my 620 but since I got the 3010 I had to try it out

I’ve heard of a lot of them over heating

[@Aspire2Cycle]

The 3010 gas engine would vapor lock in early fall warm weather, we changed to a diesel 3020 because of it.

[@fokkerd3red618]

I can't answer that completely, but that was and issue. It seems there was something on the front of unit that directed airflow.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Can you imagine the farmers of today harvesting 2 rows at a time?

I’d say under 200 acres or less could make it but that’s it
