Great video! Takes me back 60 years, we didn't do it on a scale this grand, but just the same we still basically did it in the same fashion. Thanks for posting!

When I was 7 to10 years old I ran a 630 for my dad. I'm 60 now. That old iron still getting it done. Thanks for the videos.

thank you.enjoyed it much.this is the way dad and i did it.

I hope I'm not the only one that could smell "fall" while watching this great video.

Nothing better than a chorus of 2 cylinder Deeres in concert during harvest.

A great of ear corn harvest!!

Such great memories! I can smell the fall and corn right threw this video!😊 I miss the old days! Thanks for another great video!

How well I remember those days. For me it was in the late 50s and early 60s. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. Those were good times. Life was so much easier and pressure was something I never knew anything about. Oh, and I can remember the smell of the air and the smell of the corn stalks when they were broken by the picker. I knew an old farm who just used a snapper because he wanted the husk left on for the ground feed. Good times.

How well I remember That chore after school ! No football or basketball for Me just Crankup the Ole Orange AC and get busy !!

Takes me back to the days of my youth. Ground ear corn is a great base for any feed mix. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Beautiful set of Jonny poppers. Forever n alway “more than two cylinders is a waste”

The good old times i spent many days with a John deere 60 and a new idea 2 row🚜🌽🌽👍

Nothing sounds better than a Johnny popper grew up on a 730 diesel

The book corny the corn picker has become a live action show 👍🏽😜

I remember my dad had a 237 on his JD 720 then bought a JD 4000 diesel in 71 and put the 237 on it, lot more power, i remember running that noisy machine, we wore ear protection running it, also remember going over to the neighbors and opening lands for them for their pull type picker, also, not enough warm clothes in the world to stay warm running that machine in late fall here in South Dakota

Loved it! Now all you need is a couple pheasant flying out of the corn.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing on a farm more beautiful than the sound of a John Deere. Big. Noisy and you know that thing is working for all its worth. The odern JD is too clean, too smooth, to complex. Get down and pull that flywheel. 3 four times and off it goes.. Damn, memories are made of this.

That corn crib reminds me of the setup my granddad had.

Fantastic...love it. Greetings from Ireland.

I worked for a neighbor that had a 730 gas. First tractor I learned to cut hay with. Virgil rode on the step and ran the hydraulic lever

Nice vid!

I pulled a New Idea Superpicker with my 4020 diesel, it was a great combo, and, it would just cruise 150 bushel corn. I used my really nice 530 on the elevator, and, pulled wagos with my 3020 diesel. Those were the days, simple rugged, dependable machines that would last forever if you maintained them well.

Nothing like two cyinlder John deer picking corn with new ideal picker I pick lot corn with 730 John deer love sound made tough tractor

Still gets the job done

I recently subscribed, recognized your fine farm from photos in Green Magazine I believe. My family back in the day used JD60, 237 picker with Parker gravity wagons. Wagons were made about 18 miles away in Silver Lake IN., near our farm. We were early customers of the wagons early 60's. They were very efficient.

Like a time warp... flashback to the early’60s...

Love old John Deers

I also remember the noise but action wonderful

Good job. Keep it up.

Thank you, I fully enjoyed the video

LIKE that your saint Bernard sits down and watches

Just discovered and LOVE your channel!!! My dad used Farmalls of this era, but our dear neighbors were JD all the way. Have always enjoyed the sound of a good old "Johnny Popper". Keep up the great work in using these classic machines in your farm life there!!! ;o)

Awesome vid. The sound, youth experience of what it means to work and what will end up as food Forrest cattle or sow. , Did I mention the sound of the 720 with a little load? Brings back the yearnings of youth I bitched about then but look forward to in retirement. Restoring a 70 now as well as a 40 9N Ford. Thanks for posting

When I was a kid we a mounted 237 picker and #50 sheller run by a 60

Loved the days of ear corn. My dad had IH picker on560D and my mom's dad would unload. Every year he would go to the shed and get his haybuck tooth that had broken off to start and regulate the corn coming out of the wagon.

Cool video. What year is the 620?

In the old days like this we had I.H. picker. Our good days we would 11 loads a day. My neighbor had a New Idea picker and he would get 30 loads a day. Still have a elevator paddle in my man cave.

Exactly why would you harvest corn on the ear instead of combining all of it? Do you shell it later to add to livestock feed??

What row widths can that mounted picker do?

Flood elevator two much have more on ground cleaning up

Which pick faster the Deere mounted picker or the New Idea?

Hopefully someone pointed out a back tire on the gravity wagon was dragging

What about a rear unloading wagon, with the front wheels on a hoist run by PTO?

What state are you in?

The way farming should be, I'd say that corn was not sprayed multiple times, that spray kills it all including the farmer,,,,eventually,,,,

I have a model 227 I put on my 1954 60

How come you had a sorry stand of corn

PTO shaft needs shield.

That’s cheating my grandfather scooped his into the crib until he was 72.

That’s a noisy dirty job and dangerous.
