Looks good Don. I'm always wondering why all the other brands of pickers had so much "high tin" and why they needed all that when I look at an AC picker which is "low profile".

Its a bear to put on! you need 2 people really.
We did our WD 2 years ago, here are the pictures. Also, did a little engine work before putting picker on, so that took longer. Whatever AC advertised to put them on for time, was highly underestimated. enjoy.

Dad only had a 1 row Wood Brothers pull type picker. He would NEVER think of driving down thru the field with it to "open Up" the field. We either walked it and picked it by hand or when the neighbor got a 2 row mounted, had him come open it up.

We started with a mounted AC picker, went to a mounted New Idea picker, then a New Idea pull type, Dad got tired of the dust and dirt with the mounted pickers. The New Idea pickers gave a less trashy load of corn. I think he really enjoyed the heater/AC in the 180. We always had a neighbor come in with his combine to open the fields for us. Installing the pickers on the 45 was always a chore, it also tied up a tractor for the season.

I just like the look of a mounted picker. There were 2 of them for sale this summer in MN for WC/WD's.

Here's a view almost from the seat, to give you an idea of how it is to
drive one. I've put quite a few hours on this very machine. I have to
say it's not as dusty as some people worry that it is. It's not clean,
but not terrible.
It's not horribly hard to put it on and off. It's a
two man job, but my dad has done it by himself a lot of times. Once
the subframe is on the tractor, the rest is fast.
Sorry for the tractor brand here, but this all came to the farm in a package deal about 1979 or so.

Yes, the dust makes sense... It'd be a lot easier to maneuver in the field though, and you'd never have to run over any rows to break a field up. But, of course, you've got a tractor sitting inside that machine; you either let it sit in there all the time and not earn its keep, or you go through taking that think off.. I'm sure that's no easy task.

Have never operated a mounted one but from what I can see it would be very dusty and dirty to be amongst the picking action.The only problems we had with our NI pull behind was pulling a fully loaded wagon behind the picker in a muddy field and manuvering in some small fields

Wondering if anyone's operating any mounted corn pickers? Picking with my NI pull-type and D-15 today got me thinking how much I'd like to have a mounted. Anyone ever see any of em for sale anymore?
