I really appreciate this video. Only thing that I would mention is that my understanding is the doffers actually spin in the same direction as the spindles and at a faster speed to ‘unwrap’ the cotton from the spindle barbs. The taper in the spindles also helps this process. The ones I have worked on have the bars coordinated with the ground speed of the picker so the plant ‘sees’ the spindles move in and out of the plant and not pulling or pushing it. I haven’t worked on the round machines so I just assume this is still the case. Thanks again and I’m going to link it on my page. I sure won’t send much traffic your way unfortunately but it is about the best video (perfect length and detail) to show people that are unfamiliar with cotton and probably educational to some that are. Thanks agin... new subscriber.

Just a couple of thoughts. Cotton picking machines were introduced in the mid to late 1950's in my teenage years. At that time the spindles were continuously wettened by water to help the cotton fibers to stick to it. Actually, the machines leaves some cotton on the stalk. The economy is in being able to harvest a large quantity in a short time. So a small waste does not substantially subtract from the overall profitability. Thanks for the great video.

I’ve filmed the footage on how a cotton plant develops but haven’t put it all together yet. Probably do that this winter. A time lapse is a good idea but is not possible in reality. The TV show that filmed us tried to do a season long one but it didn’t look good. Between the wind and different lighting each day it just didn’t come together well. And if the professionals couldn’t do it, I sure don’t stand a chance. Only way to do it properly would be to grow cotton indoors and do a time lapse that way. They also tried that but we found cotton won’t grow underneath special growing lamps.

What is the difference between a picker and a stripper?
@griggsfarmsllc3 жыл бұрын
While a cotton picker uses spindles to remove just the cotton fiber from the hull, a cotton stripper uses brushes and bats to strip the entire plant of everything but the stalk. It pulls in the lint, hulls, leaves, and unopened bolls. It uses a burr extractor to remove a lot of the excess trash but will still result in trashier, lower grade cotton. Strippers are typically used in drier areas of the country where the cotton is shorter and lower yielding. In lower yielding cotton, strippers will harvest more of the fiber and harvest quicker than a picker. In taller, higher yielding cotton, the picker is much more efficient and can cover more acres per hour.

John Deere doesn’t even make basket pickers any more. Case IH is the only manufacturer that does but last I heard, they only make about 10 per year. I haven’t priced one but I’d say a Case IH basket picker brand new is probably a little less than half the cost of a new JD baler. Not sure what new module builders are now days or if new ones are even being made anymore. If I had to guess I’d say around $15k. John Deere’s baler picker will eventually force smaller cotton farmers like myself out of business because there won’t be any viable harvest equipment alternatives for us and we won’t have enough acres to justify purchasing one of their machines.

I have notice cotton fields when I am driving thru SE Missouri, TN, MS, AL. In late October many fields look like they have been harvested, but there are no "modules" around in the field, and there appears to be some cotton bolls left on the plant. After doing some research, I figured that the modules have been hauled to a different site, and that there is an acceptable percentage of cotton that goes to waste because it is left on the plant. I learned also that not all farms make the modules and the raw cotton bolls go into a basket truck and down the road to the gin. And I can pick up a few nice pieces of raw cotton along the side of the road!! WHAT is the acceptable % of bolls left on the plant after harvest??
