My dad had a two row tractor mounted corn picker on an IH 560 back in the early sixties in Plymouth county Iowa. I remember it took him a day or two to hook it to the tractor and it seemed like the weather was brisk while he was doing it. The corn picker would give a little wind break around my dad keeping him warm during harvest. Great memories. Man, I miss my dad.

Dad had this exact setup in 1960. The 227 picker was on an A at first but when he got the sheller he traded for a new 630. the model 50 sheller did an excellent job shelling corn. A neighbor who got a drying bin setup just like ours had a IH 560 and the IH picker sheller. It was a tremendous horse power hog.

Started out helping grandpa pick corn with same setup. Later I ran same picker on a 730D. Still have both tractors. Picker is long gone. Would love to run one again for a few hours.

@@Alex-uy7pc You're right, nobody is going to plant on 40" rows anymore. It would have to be in a antique farm show type setting. The old equipment is neat to look at to see how far the farm equipment has come over the years but, when possible I like to see the old equipment out in the field to see how farming used to be done.

My grandfather purchased the previous model, 226 which would be mounted every fall on his 1949 A. I helped mounting it on the A in Oct. 1976 with my grandfather instructing me. It was a sun up to sundown task as the predecessor to the 227 was like a prototype for the 227. There was much more preparation and heavy lifting as it didn't "roll" up onto the frame mounts. The 226 had sat dormant since the early 60's but started up "without a hitch". The drawback to using an "A", however, is no "live" pto. Our neighbor used his JD50 with his 227. A 50 is probably slightly underpowered for the 227, but with "live" pto, it seemed to do well. My grandfather, Harry Gilbert of Mt. Pleasant (Bloomsburg), Pa was the first in the area to have a two row mounted corn picker. With headlamps on his A, he picked corn well after dark. Respectfully submitted, Mark Patrick Gilbert McCay

We picked with a MH44 special with New idea mounted picker. Sold it when we moved up to a NI uni-system picker. Fast forward to a couple years ago and we bought the tractor back but the picker had long since been cut up for scrap.😣

Really nice machine. Rare that something of this vintage went directly from a working unit to restoration. Running a mounted picker is a dirty job regardless of the make though.

My dad grew up in the 50s and 60s in TN, and they had a one row corn picker pull type. He said he had ti wear goggles because it was so dusty not having a cab tractor.

the real deal was putting that sprocket gizmo and long chains on the pto shaft and worse, trying to get it off. my dad had a 730 with the same set up on it. nice restoration. not sure if those fenders are correct. shouldn't they be the clam shell style?

Why not use it? That's what it was made for. If you have a small operation and that's all you require, by all means use it. What was once restored can always be restored again.
