New Idea 1 Row Ear Corn Picker Harvesting Corn pulled by John Deere 60

The old time, classic way of picking corn using the New Idea 1 Row Corn Picker pulled by a John Deere 60. We also show troubleshooting and fixing the picker by adding a link to the chain. Bob almost lost a finger. (they do have a warning to keep fingers away from the moving parts).
Also bought out the John Deere 9400 Combine to make a couple passes. The Antique Farmall H also makes an appearance.

That picker did a great job husking really clean looking corn

That bring,s back memories. My dad had a jd b and a woods brother,s one roll picker. Later he got a two roll mounted 227 picker on jd a. We were big timing then. And we had a 53 jd 70 gas. With 4 bottom either 12 or 14 inch plow. Now I have a John deere 70 gas. 1953. With 4 bottom plow. 14 inch I think. Not sure. 15:41

I'd rather watch the 60 then the combine. Thanks for sharing.

Had the same picker, only pulled it with a model 70. Used it for picking popcorn,, that we sold to be popped off the cob. Can't say ever had any problems with it, especially for as old as it was. Enjoyable to watch.

@@JaymeGoetz I too have both my grandparents tractors. One a 560 Farmall and a 12-20 twin city. It's best to keep them in the family.

Its amazing how technology has changed farming . I see this harvestor , then I watch a video of 16-24 row combines today with all their sensors and computers and I am impressed I remember when my neighbor bought one if the first 8 row combines and we all thought it was massive ( yes , I am old). I made money while I was in high school baling hay and straw , plowing and raising steers for the county fair . I sure miss those days
