That picker is doing one of the nicest jobs of shucking corn without shelling that I have seen for a very long time! ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

| Good looking corn too. I was just up that direction a couple weeks ago getting a hydro for our N6. Looks like a picker head doing beans. I've never seen one up close. How does it cut the beans. |

| the 4020 is a 1970 with 5100 hrs on it. YA new ideas do a good job picking the corn clean. Ya the old L2 after 32 years the unloading auger collasped and we had to put a new one on from eisenmanns. The bean head has chains with rubber belting that grabs it as blades spins and cuts the beans |

| I worked behind a JD#6 corn sheller for a whole summer in 1978. Hardest, dirtiest, and best work I ever did. |

We used a belt drag with a hydraulic orbit motor. It helped a bunch when you were getting toward the end and wanted to clean up. Had to be careful though when starting out or you could load it too heavy and it would slip.
Always seemed to me to be much easier to fill the crib than to shell it out (unless you had a long crib and had to climb upstairs to move the spout several times).
Very nice pictures of good looking AC equipment.

Great pictures, Thanks for posting. My Uncle had a MM corn sheller and he did custom shelling also. That was many years ago. I grew up north west of Schuyler, NE. not far from you. Was that corn irrigated (good ears for a dry year)? Really love your pics. Dennis

I must be getting old and grumpy! Having had my hands wrapped around a number 14 steel scoop shovel in my very early years(1951-52, 10-11 years old), until we got the first Case 600 Combine in 1967, it just looks like work to me! We had about 4 neighbors that swapped help shelling and baling, and did have fun together, a lotta joking, telling tall tales, pulling outrageous pranks on the unsuspecting, etc. But bottom line, it was a lot of hard, dirty work!
I guess that is why I loved my 78 LII so much! It was so nice to sit in the air-conditioned cab, and just drive, and watch the acres melt away. All the time knowing that the hardest thing I had to do was climb the steps up or down, and stay awake after eating too much at meal time.
Incidently, the shellers around this part of the Hoosier were all JD's mounted mostly Ford truck chasis'. And that was about the only Deere stuff you saw except for the 490 planters. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

Thanks guys for the comments. It takes awhile to get it done but it shows the hard work we put in especially when we (dad brother and me) all have full time jobs in town to. Alot of late nights on the farm. |
