Too much ground speed. Drop the 14 back a gear. When the corn is balling up at the top of the gathering chains, and it cascading back down the clean corn elevator like that, you're pushing it too hard. That's also causing a lot of shelling loss when it's grinding in the head. Like seeing that the older equipment run. I picked a lot of ear corn in my younger days.

Love to see vintage equipment still kicking ass! Thanks for the video.👍

Love the old equipment as it brings back memories.

Greeting from Verbena, Alabama! Good job on the video. I like your equipment, its not about new fancy stuff, its about enjoying what your doing and being productive. Keep it up young man, America needs guys like you.

Thanks I m a farmall or nothing fellar brought back alot memories.Made my day . I spent a lot days out there .Health bad now about all can do is feed horses now .

Oh boy! That’s some good yielding corn going up that belt

cool as cool , just came across your site and really enjoy . You are a REAL farmer . Im in Va. with 13 black beef cows a few goats , miniature donkeys and a couple trail horses . Just a weekend farmer , my main occupation is that of a fence contractor . Will keep watching and support . Fred

Badass equipment getting the job done with style! I could watch ear corn picking all day.

Your equipment rocks dude keep cranking out the awesome videos doing a hell of a job man take care God bless

Great video. Enjoyed watching the old equipment in action!! Keep up the great work & take care..

Some good looking corn! I have a super M and an H. Both tricycle front ends.

Holy Moly----slow down a bit!!!!! has to be sheeling on the snapper rollers!

It's got Patena. It's been about 60 years since i have seen ear corn picked, and I believe There were still some of the New Idea equipment being used. Enjoyed seeing it in action again.

Looks good. I like that A. That picture at the end could be your next Christmas card.

I’m loving these vids buddy I could watch older tractors n equipment all day so much more entertaining than watch the newer robot tractors

If your slow down a little bit and let the picker do it job you wouldn`t have all that trash in the wagon

We had a Case VAC that was a lot like that little Farmall A. It really liked to pull as well, even though it wasn't a very big unit. Ours had a Woods belly mower under it as well, so it got to do a lot of the grass mowing.

Thank you for sharing your video with us...

Looking good buddy

Great job.

Good video. Well played.

I’d rather watch this than that Cornstar guy any day.

Very nice! Love that old equipment! Have a Farmall 100, an M and a 274 diesel! Would love to be there helping you! From Sophia, N.C.

Great video

Just a comment on battery draining, I’ve had alternators with internal regulators put small drains on batteries. I think the cause may be in the diodes allowing current to flow back, with the price of alternators I just replaced them. I would check them by removing wires from alternator and see if it then drained after sitting a few days. Good luck with it.

You are pulling that picker in too high of a gear. Use Low range, third gear..

not enough time on huskers to do a good job---see all the stalks in wagon!

It works! 👍

Very nice me and my cousin got a channel t we got older farm equipment nice stuff

WELL, I AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS POST. TO MUCH GROUND SPEED FOR THE UNIT. THE CORN SHOULD NOT BALL UP IN THE FEEDER, SHOULD NOT PILE UP ON THE HUSKING BED, SHOULD NOT PILE UP IN THE CLEAN GRAIN ELEVATOR. SPEED IS NOT EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE MACHINE TIME TO DO ITS JOB. TO START WITH WHEN THE MACHINE WAS NEW THE CORN WAS NOT THAT GOOD AS FAR AS BUSHELS TO THE ACRE. BY OVERLOADING THE MACHINE IS WHY THE UNIT IS SHELLING SO BAD. ALSO, THE UNIT IS NOCKING DOWN A LOT OF CORN IN FRONT OF THE SNAPPING ROLLERS ONTO THE GROUND. YOU CAN SEE THE EARS HITTING THE GROUND. ALSO, BY OVERLOADING THE MACHINE IS PROBABLY THE REASON THE GATHERING CHAIN JUMPED OFF THE SPROCKET. SPEED IS NOT EVERYTHING. THE MACHINE NEEDS TIME TO DO ITS JOB. NEXT IS THE WAY THAT YOU USED THE A FARMALL TO PULL THAT WAGON FULL OF CORN. REALLY NOT A BIG ENOUGH TRACTOR FOR THE JOB. ALSO, YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSON IS NOT SYNCRONIZED AND IS REALLY NOT MADE TO SHIFT ON THE GO LIKE YOU DID. YOU KEEP THAT UP THE WAY YOU DID ON THE VIDEO YOU'LL EITHER BUST A TOOTH ON A GEAR OR THE GEAR COMPLETELY. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A BIT OF ADVICE FROM AN OLD TIMER, SLOW DOWN AND SMELL THE ROSES. I HAVE WORKED WITH THIS OLDER EQUIPMENT FOR OVER 40 YEARS. THE OLD SAYINGS, I HAVE HAD FOR YEARS IS SLOW AND SAFE MAKES SINSE. FASTER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE. IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T EXPECT TO GET IT DONE IN ONE DAY. GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE THE INTREST IN DOING IT THE OLD WAY. KEEP UP THE HERITAGE YOUNG MAN

Driving wsy too fast. Lots of corn falling on the ground.

Love all the international harvester tractors that's all I use there the best!!

Slow down hot rod!

Farming has come along ways.Alot slower but alot easier to fix .

I have a 1086 that had the same battery problems . Sometimes dead sometimes not . I worked

You could go in debt and buy all new shiny equipment but then you would have a big payment. Farmer today have to make do with what you got. They also have to be good mechanics. People don’t realize all the land was farmed with small Farmalls back in the day.

Picking way too fast, no wonder it sheared the bolt

love old eguip still going strong.

👌

🤙Red Power!

Wow 4 rows and 1/3 full. that is good yield for the corn. have you ever thought about a combine to harvest the corn? or a 4 row picker? ( combine removes the corn from the cob, so that might not be so good for the feed ) it must take a lot of time to harvest with the 2 row picker. great job. keep it up!

Slow down give her time to clean better and you won’t get as much shelling.

Good video, we love the old tractors and equipment

Grounds to wet and the stalks are too dry. Gotta love picking corn in the winter.

To damm fast old buddy

Maybe 130 bushels would be my guess.

Your voltage regulator is sticking in the alternator that's why it's running your battery's down

Do you pick a lot of non ear corn

Your driving way to fast funny gathering chains don't break noticed u didn't grease or oil chains

I don’t understand the need for that much HP, I would use a 50hp tractor to pick corn and had plenty of hp. I have used a IH H and it worked great.

I use this same picker....... travel is way to fast ! Shelling on the rows ! Corn cant even make it up the elevator ! Nothing should be bogged up !

540 is the proper speed of the PTO@

Great equipment. How much corn did you pick?

I like your style and type of farming! but I will say, you are a fool for driving so fast while picking corn

seems like lots of kernals getting dislodged

You need to learn how to run a corn picker

Kinda sloppy and busted bolt shortened the job. Like your speed shiftin’ !

Picking a bit too fast for my liking

You were going to fast for that old picker

I bet your glow plugs are leaking through the key switch

Slow down picking too fast

DO SO MANY COWS TO FEED EQATE TO SO MANY BUSHELS OF CORN TO GROW"

Low range 3rd gear

You're driving way too fast and you got the RPMs too high for that picker

go to 4th low and more trash will get out

Pulling that picker and that big of a wagon that fast on wet ground is going to burn up the trans

Mate you need to look after your gear a bit better

Agree, too fast.

I didn't see any corn ear picking until 7 minutes into the video. click bate?

Because you’re lazy

Know that one uses what they have but a 1486 on a little dinky 2row new idea picker seems an awful waste and you traveling way to fast,,, when it piles up like that at bottom of elevator, you actually have lots of spillage,,,more WASTE
