 Topic: How many of you have run one of these?
Posted: 03 Dec 2010 at 5:22am |
I am not a farmer, but I have been helping a friend (Mike) get his cotton in and he let me run the 880 AC cotton stripper for a bit.
I enjoyed it.
sorry about the green.....

I have two 880's but they have the stripper (broadcast) heads. I haven't ran them in a couple of years but they did a very good job and I will run them again if I decide to plant any cotton. Notice how there is no cotton left in the field behind them. They have a Continental gin stand that deburrs the cotton off the boll, and not a lot of expense to keep up, unlike they pickers. I have wanted to run behind the JD pickers with them just to show them how to clean up a field.

Wow! Just not used to seeing forever. Guess there aren't many hills in Texas.

The one in the photo is a 1982 model 880. with a 433I turbo for power.
Mike has a mostly complete one for spare parts. But gets most parts he needs from an AGCO dealer in Vernon Texas. He has a 1977 model 680 that has not been used in several years with the broadcast header on it.

How long has he had the cotton picker? It really is in nice shape.
