 Topic: Corn pickers at fall time
Posted: 27 Sep 2010 at 11:54am |
I am kind of getting excited to finally put my corn picker on this WD tractor after 5 years.
Anyone have good photos of a mounted picker in action? or any pickers in action?

Give me a month or so and I will have some pics and videos of mine. Its green but its still alot of fun to use.
Its the same as this one:
I planted a small amount of corn this year and we had the picker from days past. Bought a combine this year too but for what people want for a corn head I'm going to just dump the wagons on the belt pickup head and use that to draw it into the machine. Buying a 4500 dollar cornhead for a 3000 dollar combine for less than 5 acres is just silly.

This was back in March. I just picked down one row and put it in a bucket. After I fixed the elevator I pulled the gravity wagon behind and finished it up in less time than it took to fill 10 buckets. It makes nice heat when you're short of wood.  ,

Early Wood Bothers. It's a prewar picker cause it has gray paint. Dearborn bought out Wood brothers after WWII and painted them red. My Allis 35 was in a harder to get at place and doesn't like corn over 100 BU/acre.

Don, I get a sick feeling ever time I see one of those. A guy I worked with told me of some property by his folks farm that was being sold. There was all kinds of junk and equipment all around the place and there was a real nice New Idea 1 row picker there. They had made a deal with a scrapper to clean it up but I couldn't get in contact with the scrapper before everything was cut up. I just hate when that happens.
By the way, I wish my 45 had as much paint on it as yours.

Joe It's the camera Or maybe the Camera man I had it set on night shot. LOL
I got this old unit from a farmer up the road 6 miles he made me a good deal on it, she will do a good job putting corn in the wagon.

Here is my rig picking last year. Won't be any corn this year - the Floods destroyed it and subsequent rains kept things too wet for too long to replant.
Maybe next year.

There isn't much a WC can't do.
WD's just do it better.

A WD just looks at home picking corn. Just think how many acres those old girls have run over picking corn like that.

Great pics/video. There's something really satisfying about watching corn being picked or chopped.

Really enjoy seeing the old pickers. Have few acres that I would like to put in corn and pick --- but don't know how you guys keep the deer and raccoons from eating everything. Afraid they wouldn't leave anything to pick.
