Stripper worked very well on the short cotton we had this year because of the dry weather.

HAHA, reminds me of a conversation this past fall. Getting the cane ready, we thought of running an ad in the paper to hire strippers. Might not have gone over to well, though...
Cotton certainly needed some of the excess rain we got this past summer, rainging now...

Sam - I have never known of a AC service rep that could pass up a stipper who was known to do a good job.  Now us old sales guys however, never frequented such activity....... :-) 
UT Milan NO til station did a lot of work on NO-TIL ultra narrow row cotton.  We built a planter for them.  Deere and Case built prototype strippers and used old AC heads.  Seminars PROVED one could put an extra $1,000,000.00  of profit in ones pocket after 10 years on a thousand acres of cotton using UNR Stripper cotton system - All of a sudden the head of UTMilan center got an 'offer he could not refuse'  Deere and Case deemed the project a failure and the successor received a joint grant from them for super staple cotton - hmmmmm  lets see 1 $250,000 Cotton Stripper that would last 10 yrs with no upkeep vs. a $600,000 Picker that cost out the wazoo per acre picked , and lasted 4 years... Gee  I wish I was smart enought to figure this one out.... but then maybe my memory is failing me.

It was on a Wednesday, I went to family night supper and prayer meeting that night and told everyone a the table when I sat down " I have been with stripper all day" Should have seen their faces. I had to confess and show the pictures on my camera.

Being a northern guy, I don't know much about cotton pickin' machines but I assume a stripper removes the entire ball (bowl)?? of cotton the seeds and other debris are removed at the Gin?  A picker removes the cotton from the rest of the "flower" right in the field.  Am I close?

Sam, that definitely is the cleanest field i've ever seen. I don't know much about cotton strippers either. Just figured the green machines did the same crappy job on cotton as their combines do in grains/corn/beans. So the stripper takes the bowl and all when it goes through?
I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

Pardon my ignorance but I must ask. Is that machine all AC or just an AC cab on some other make. I have never seen an AC cotton harvester and actually didn't know they even made such a beast as this. Actually, I have seen smaller units mounted to WD-D series but never such a large self propelled by AC.

AC made their own pickers and strippers. picker production ended late 60's? strippers ended late 70's? I have never heard anyone compare pickers and strippers to each other since I thought they each had their own climate/cotton types they were used in. We had 3 - 2 row/500 pickers (on D17)in south texas. never saw a stripper until went to north texas & panhandle area. I did always think the Ben Pearson pickers looked an awful lot like the AC, which were discontinued. They both did use the "RUST" picker unit design. Anyone know anything about the BP blue & yellow machines? Thanks for sharing the pic. I have to think most of the old AC pickers are long gone. I know ours were all junked in the 80's! S. Texas climate in not kind to steel, they were very rusty!

when I was living in Michigan in 78-83 they used to say they made AC 'cotton pickers' in the LaPorte plant.   Is that where those came from?
