I know this is probably a bad idea as a lot of y'all live in the midwest and up north and have probably never seen a cotton stripper before lol, but let's see pics if anyone has one! I'll try to get a couple of our twins. (The 880's)

Yep they sure don't bring much! The sad thing is some parts are getting harder to find, unless you have a parts machine, or a good dealer. But, fortunately, most parts (just like on the Gleaner combines) are rather "generic", so they're readily accessible.

Haha yeah! I know a guy who is quite the contrary! He has so much crap on his floor that it's either: 1. Drive over it. 2. Use a grain scoop to shovel wrenches, hammers, etc. out of the way! (I've seen him do it!!!)

Creston and Pat,
Explain the two heads? The 880 has more of a platform, and the 616 has what I typically think of that goes down the rows. How do they each work? |

The 860/880 as first pictured, is a cotton stripper, which is usually based on the same chassis a combine and harvests all the cotton after the plant has dried completely out, (much like combining beans) by using big wire brushes to collect the cotton. The 616's pictured are cotton pickers. They were based on a (reversed for 2 row) tractor chassis and had rotating spindles to gently pick the cotton out of the bolls. I've been away from cotton farming for 35 years, so the modern machines are likely different.

No they're pretty stable as long as your on flat ground when dumping. But it sure does look like it might fall over!

There was a guy around Greeley, CO that bought a couple cotton pickers and converted them into onion bag pickers. The onions are harvested, put into burlap bags and left to cure for a week or so then picked up and dumped into a live floor truck and taken to the storage facility. Never could figure out why they just don't leave them in the bags.

Its amazing what you see them converted into. There is a local JD two row picker that was converted to harvest chili peppers. It was the strangest thing to see it going up and down rows of chili.
