I remember working in the gins all those yrs that those module covers did nothing to keep the bottom of them dry during heavy rains. I just realized my Dad helped my Grandpa farm till he graduated in '57. Then he worked for a farmer in Paragould, Ark during the mid to late '90s working on a module builder.

Thank you for showing us how its done. Best Regards from Denmark and please stay safe over there.

Learn something new everyday, thanks for showing this.

Thanks man! Got to see the process up close! Thanks for showing us!

The 38inch/ 36inch and 40inch rows were established/ used because when mules and horses were used it was easier to cultivate and plow when using them and thus carried over when mechanical harvesters came into being.

In my area (southern Arizona) the old farmer has owned so much land, and we mainly grow cotton. We also have lots it haying operations as well as some people who grow corn. I'm not sure if it's feed corn or sweet corn though, but what they mainly use for a cotton picker is a 9910, then the use a huge bailer, that is pto driven by mainly 4045s and there is even a old 5020 I believe. I remember when he was using old school d9g bulldozers to cultivate the land, those things ran 24 hrs a day some times. I miss it. It's all turned into city and its sad to not see any cotton fields anymore, especially where they keep this old equipment running as long as possible.

Just think a decade or two ago there were thousands of cotton trailers hauling the cotton to area gins day and night. Then came the module builders and all the cotton trailers were cut up for scrap or left to rust away. With the advent of the pickers rolling the cotton into bales and wrapping them in plastic it won't be long before all these module builders will be in the same place as the cotton trailers. Now gins are not under the same pressure to get the trailers empty and back to the farmers and area gins have gone the way of many other things and bigger gins can operate more efficiently. Times they are a changing.

Very cool. Now I actually get how those harvesters work because you do not see those in Manitoba Canada.

I have always been fascinated by the equipment used on the farm. I made turbo chargers for most of the equipment. Very enjoyable.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.

is there a cooperative system for bale smashers or module builder and boll buggies? Seems to be redundant if every farm maintains specialized equipment like that

Nice! I never saw this before.

Hello , merci pour cette video explicative super!!

Neat video. Very interesting to see some other crop process. You wouldn't happen to have some footage of the cotton being loaded onto trucks & going into the cotton gin? That might be neat to see. Stay safe.

Really cool seeing how cotton is harvested. I grew up around and on farms, but no cotton. It’s a unique process. Seems like that module builder’s press could be made Mor efficient though... such a small press. Is there a reason (besides design space) that the press is so narrow? Seems to me like attaching a large steal plate to it fitted for the press could speed that process up quite a bit. Know I say this ignorant of anything cotton related

very interesting never seen this

Amazing equipment, amazing efficiency. If only we had these machines in colonial times.

At 16:10 you can see No Smoking then at 16:34 you can see two packs of cigarettes on the dash of the baler. =D

my dad would have killed or something to have 1 of these since he & rest of my family use to pick by hand in 40's & 50's & maybe 60's they just had enough money to make it from season to season beg borrow BUT dint steal to feed the kids and parents

You should do new Madrid county rice harvest next year

Interesting machine. I have never seen something like this before in Germany ;)

Very cool! Any video of how they get it on a rig and truck it to the Gin? Would love to see how they get them off the ground without it falling apart.

I'd like to see a video on processing the standing residue left in the field afterward. I've seen how corn and wheat are done. What's the process for cotton after it's harvested? Discing?

I like that it was interesting

Very interesting video thanks for posting

from the front they look like a hovering ore collecting robot of games like C&C

Bro what defoliant u used there? And i saw there have sands type land, do u chose yourself such type of land for cotton?

Why is that bale short in height?

Hope there is a follow up video of the loading and transport of that massive bale, yes?

nice to see , would have been good to see them being uplifted , taken away .

it sure leaves enough behind

Say ya got any horse plowing on your channel

Sure leaves a LOT Behind , does it need some adjustments ???

>NO SMOKING >TWO boxes of cigs on the dashboard

🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿

The machine sure seems to leave a lot behind

Куп колдиряпти расво

Now that’s a real cotton picking machine!

Seems like a lot more work than using a harvester that makes the bale it self.

What’s the difference between a picker and stripper

don't the newer machines make round bales much like a hay baler?

slightly confused.. you said the harvested holds 1500 pounds, which fills the bull buggy, the press uses 3 buggies to be full. that's 4500 pounds, then you say it leaves the press at 15000 pounds..

16:44 Now you're getting carried away. :-)) With all due respect to that guy, this is NOT a "very skilled process". Any five-year-old who ever had a go at a Playstation can do it. Come on! :-))

Астында пиздез кап жатыргой

im sure as your saying that stuff in the cab your saying things the farmer didn't even know
