My uncle picked 80 acres of corn with a 4230 John Deere and 300 husker until about the year 2000. Died in the 4230 as a matter of fact. Loved him dearly, you know what I'm doing now . John T.

Thank you Ted. This was a rare find to see working in the field. I have filmed 226s, 227s and 237s at corn picking demonstrations but never one just harvesting an entire field.

Really takes me back. It’s 1964 and Dad is picking corn with a one row New Idea unit, pulled by a Farmall M. I got to ride in the wagon trying to catch the ears. Good times.

@RustyCarnahan 3 дня назад

We have a niche market for ear corn, so we pick and crib quite a bit. Our picking fleet includes a JD 237. It's been on a 720 Diesel, a 3010, and 3020. We also have a New Idea 2 row pull type, and a New Idea 800 Uni System.

@ryanirwin5414 4 дня назад

I just bought a single row new idea the other day, we do high moisture corn for our dairy herd, but I've been told ground ear corn makes good steer feed. So I figured for the steer herd we'd go backwards 60 years and give it a go. Dad had a 2 row picker when I was young but all I've ever known was the combine, so this is all new to me lol

I can remember picking corn with a 2 row New Idea pull type picker. We used an 1800 Oliver gas tractor to pull it. Later on I used to help my cousin hall wagons to the crib with the 1800. They were picking with a Uni-Systems 801A and a 6 row head so we were hustling. All gone now I sure miss that time.

The sound of this monstrous machine at full throttle is music to the ears! It moves with purpose, tearing through the toughest materials. The efficiency and power in every action are both terrifying and beautiful.

@jamieebersole6755 3 дня назад

We still pick corn every year with a New Idea 323 picker. Depending on field conditions, we pull it with either an Oliver 66, 77 or if it's muddy, the OC6 crawler. When i was a kid, i spent hours riding in the gravity wagons. I lost at least 1 toe nail from unhooking wagons, and that was before we had extendable tongues.

Thank you jason for sharing this corn picker video. My aunt had a new idea number 6 corm picker then she updated in the early 90 when she bought a new idea 323 single row corn picker and both puckers were pulled by a john deere 530 gas tractor then she sold the corn picker i think around 2008 to a guy for 800 dollars .then she passed away in august 2013 and the farm and what equipment was left and what dairy hiefers and milk cows were sold in october of 2013 .i sure do miss those good old days .

@bigtractorpower 3 дня назад

Very very cool line up. It would be interesting to know why he chose the Ford picker over an Allis Chalmers or New idea.

@jordanadamson4830 3 дня назад

@@bigtractorpower He actually bought it that way at an auction in the 70s he always told me it was very "cobbled up" and if you ever took the picker off you'd probably not get it back on. I actually just sold it last year to a neighbor who wanted parts from the picker.

@danw6014 3 дня назад

My first picker was a 237 mounted on a 70 diesel. I did put it on a 60 a couple of times. It was well worn when I had it. I since switched to 30 inch row and now use a 325 New Idea. 324/325 pickers were most common here. The snapping rolled tended to shell corn but it's seemed to me that was more of a problem if you were picking in cold weather when it was dry.

@MorganOtt-ne1qj 4 дня назад

Last time I picked corn, I used a NI 325 pull type. Usually behind a JD 2950 SoundGard mfwd. I once finished picking in March, because of weather and help situation. I still have the machine, and it's in a shed. NI made good pickers.

@FarmHand25 4 дня назад

You should show what happens after they bring the wagons in. Are they brought to a threshing machine?

@MorganOtt-ne1qj 4 дня назад

No, the corn is stored whole in a "crib", often a heavy mesh structure like a bin, but it doesn't have solid walls and allows air flow. The entire ear is then ground for cattle feed. It provides both fiber and energy for the ration. Great question! 👍

@sjoerdspiekker2152 4 дня назад

What do they do with the corn? Never seen this overhere in the Netherlands. Most of our corn is getting chopped to feed cattle or biogas plants, or shred the kernels after it was threshed by a combine harvester.

@danjosephson6910 4 дня назад

In the day it was put into a corn crib with spaced boards or wire mesh to keep corn in and allow for airflow to dry the corn. It was later shelled or ground for feed. Sometimes it ground and blown into silos at harvest time. We had a large crib, one of the last built I called it our 10,000 bushel drying bin that used no gas or electricity.

Can i reup your video? I subscribed you

@bigtractorpower 4 дня назад

Thank you for subscribing, but I do not share my footage. I drive thousands of miles and spend hundreds of hours filming in producing this content. Items like this picker are very rare to see at 60 years old in the field. I have a great problem with so many people taking my content and reposting it without permission then that content is taken from those posts by other people and on and on its spreads. I have too much invested in time tracking down these tractors. Do you have them posted elsewhere on RU-vid.

Who invented the first 30 inch row equipment? And what year?

@lynwessel2471 4 дня назад

30 " corn and soybean rows started in the 60s. A few tried 20" in the early 70s .Sugar beets were grown in 22" rows in MN /Dakotas in the 60s.

@corerlt 4 дня назад

@@lynwessel2471 Thank you for that information. Do you happen to know which equipment manufacturer was the first to try it?

@lynwessel2471 4 дня назад

@@corerlt There were probably farmers who reworked the machinery they had before any manufacturer offered it. I had a neighbor who had adjusted his wide row equipment down to 34" without modifying anything, so it wouldn't have been hard to do 30 if you wanted to .The old planters would have been the tricky one to do.

@bigtractorpower 4 дня назад

That is a good question. I had this question asked on a combine video last month. I am researching it. Gleaner was the first to offer ultra narrow rows at 20 inches in the early 60’s. The 30 inch head most likely was pioneered by Gleaner, International Harvester, Massey Ferguson or John Deere. It would coincide with a 30 inch corn planters. It may be one that was first or a few that all debut in one year. Oliver maybe possible too but I don’t think so.

@lynwessel2471 4 дня назад

@@corerlt Best info I ran across was John Deere introduced their 894A 8 row 30"' in 1965. Really nothing new invented per se, just building equipment that could be set up for 30" rows. Other brands may have been earlier. Many changes in Ag are brought about by farmer innovation, then the machinery companies get on board. Example farmer Marion Calmer developed 15" corn heads 25 years ago. Not widely enough adapted for the big manufacturers, so he sells his own brand.
