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.

@boehmfarm4276 6 жыл бұрын

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 😁

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......

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!!!

@boehmfarm4276 6 жыл бұрын

The stalks are very dry. When I was picking earlier, the wetter stalks were easy work.

@rustyoldjunk 6 жыл бұрын

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.

@boehmfarm4276 6 жыл бұрын

That picker is one of the few implements Ford made themselves. And the sheet metal reflects the car styling.

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

@fredf3391 6 жыл бұрын

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 😁

@boehmfarm4276 6 жыл бұрын

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.

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!!

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 !

@defuse56 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.
