Hey Jacob I see the weather doesn’t stop u still picking going good looks like corn turning out good ears we’ve had little snow here been cold here in Shelby County take care great video
I had a 323 when I started farming 40 years ago. Then I got a 319 two row mounted picker on a Super M. That thing would really pick corn but running it was a filthy job! I've had a couple of 324s, I like them.
Mounted pickers put you right in the middle of the mess. Dad bought ours probably 20 years ago or more. He said it never saw the inside of a barn until he bought it. They are tough old machines.
Love Your videos 👍😀 Don't know date of this field work, but last weekend the south did get hit with storms . Everyone is done harvesting and looking at the flowers on the walls .Yeah 😁 Your videos are a knock down punch , home runs out of the park . I myself would prefer a 2 row picker , but don't stop for hell or high water 😁
My fingers are crossed for you to get all your corn off Jacob. Too bad it wouldn't freeze solid for you so you don't have to deal with the mud. keep us posted.
big D fan fingers crossed 👎 My wife and me prayed for good weather so everyone would get there harvest in Yes we farm and I work off the farm we like medium size oh we got done with corn around the Frist
Nothing better than picking corn in the mud ! LOL But it never fails that you end up doing it that way. Great camera work JB, I kept waiting for the camera to fall off and go threw the picker ! LOL Wouldn't that been a great video, How corn feels being picked ! Bandit
Glad your getting some corn taken off. It looks like the hybrid corn of today doesn’t hold up to the corn picker to well. Lot of the tops breaking off compared to corn of years ago but farming does change. Good luck!!!
You need a heat houser on the tractor!! Boy I would take some of your moisture back here!! We're dry as heck here on top! Wheat looks like crap! Sure enjoy the videos! Wish I was closer, I'd look u up and enjoy picking corn in real time!! Keep the good videos coming......
A heat houser would be nice, but I was never cold. I'll gladly give you some water. I have seriously thought why no one has put up a pipeline to take our excess water.
Dry cold stalks cause problems with any picker, I think. I was having problems with frozen stalks getting sideways between the snapping rolls and plugging the apron chain that brings the ears to the husking bed on my 327 this year. But before it froze, the ground was too greasy. Can’t win, although I agree that pickers seem to prefer wetter corn,. Cool video. I like that old Ford picker, I never knew they made them.
Jacob, sure would like to you weld on those Ford picker rollers. Hate watching you lean over in the mouth of that picker while it is running. But I guess who am I to say, you seem not to mind and you get the job done. I really enjoyed this video. Again, it brings back good times for myself. Thanks!!
Jonathan Mccroskey who am I. You right but this video is not live 😁 so no 1got pulled into picker accidents happen ,but they never happy to me 😁 isn't that what they say 😁
Good times! I borrowed a New Idea 323 a couple years ago to see if it would work better in 30 inch row corn than my 324 does, I was not impressed. Under the snap rolls it would plug tight. What a pain to dig out constantly. I think its the narrow channel that is the flaw.... Looks like your camera was getting beat up on the first angle! Lol
larsonvalleyfarm Them 300 JD pickers you could put 2row wide and 3row narrow head's but you didn't have the capacity in the back for cleaning . Seed corn harvest be good but husk stay on ,. You got snow,years ago run eggs up to SV in Green Bay then go over to Portage for cheese back to city (Chicago) stay warm 😁
Yes, that stupid narrow channel under the rollers. That's why I want to move that old new idea. I have dealt with our old cantankerous picker long enough to know when it's a bout to be really plugged underneath. I stop and back so the stubble will pull the stalks out.
larsonvalleyfarm I️ see a lot of people consolidating about that narrow channel and I️ can’t see what you’re talking about. We’ve had are picker for over a decade and haven’t had that problem ever.
Good looking corn.just watched vido of one lonley farmer starting tr 70 3208 cat.sat 3 yrs. Goina sell or scrap.wasnt skipping then was.says needs an injector. Couple comments mentioned u. Maybe somebody mentioned it to ya. How did u get outa that mud. Was somebody pushing ya.lol
Back in the 60's my grampa lost half of his left arm in the rollers on his New Idea picker. The dairy farmer that I worked for in the 70's had done the same thing. Happens real fast, be careful.
young jake keeps pushing corn stalks in the gathering chains and rollers on that worn out little ford toy picker , he's going to go home for dinner and say , " look mom no hands " . Jesus this kid is an accident going someplace to happen . Good luck jocko you are going to need it . I seriously hope he doesn't have to change his name to ONE ARM JACOB !
@@bryancovert9821 What alot of guys don't realize is that, if you hold the end of a cornstalk and use it to clear the rollers, the machine can yank the stalk (and your arm) in so fast that you don't have time to let go of it. The only safe way is to shut everything down before you touch the picker.
I try for as little work as possible on that end, so I hope it's going out whole. I charge $.50/bushel to grind and a couple quarters more if they need it bagged.
Boehm Farm I've sold a little bit before but I usually feed up all mine to heifers there was an older gentleman that used to sell to the public and anytime someone would say,, I'd like mine bagged he'd reply I'll bet you would lol
Both of the lower sprockets are missing a tooth. It never got me until two years ago. I am looking for a bigger picker, maybe a JD 300?? They have a real corn head.
Trevor Fout Why don't You jerk The New Holland TR 70 was manufactured back in the 70s , antiques , dinosaurs , Oh by the way I worked at dealership and work on them .Can you say that .So you crawl back into your hole 😁
Hey check out "Old start cold start" video by onelonleyfarmer. He wants to get rid of his TR70 that has a CAT 3208 motor in it. Says he's taking any reasonable offer
Cam Kenimer cold start, warm start, hot start. Just plug them in I deliver groceries in 18 wheeler and farm We plug our tractors in and when it get really cold we just let them run 24 hrs . Cold start just like starting gas car or truck no difference Oh it the noise of the diesel motor that turns people on and the smoke Give me a break
So what's your point? I wasn't suggesting a cold start; I was suggesting these guys to go look at a combine for sale. Apparently several others suggested that as well
Cam Kenimer There equipment is quite used👍 So he gets equipment that is better then what they got . Salvage yard buy up good equipment to sell parts My neighbor and I farmed like that years ago I fix the issues by getting a job off the farm and was able to up grade and buy more land He got killed in a farm accident .I don't have any ideas about this channel
