Although I’m not that old, I did help my granddad put his two row picker on his Ford (tri-cycle type) tractor. It wraped around the whole tractor. I think the rear part went on first, then the front. It sat in one of the old barns. He had two wagons. He had an elevator backed up to the two story corn bin. I would get up in that bin toward the end of the harvest to level off the ears. We used a handyman jack to get the corn out of the wagons easier. As a young boy, it was always a thrill to get to drive the other tractor from the field to the corn bin. I think granddad had about 30 acres of corn. When the corn bin was full, a neighbor would shell the remaining corn left in the fields. His cows would eat well before he hauled them off to the market. After harvest, he would repair his fences and turn the cattle into the field to glean the remaining ears. He earned a fair living off the farm. He also raised about an acre of burly and dark tobacco. On a side note, my grand parents had the first color tv in the neighbor. Grand mother loved her soap opera and NBC had them “in living color.” You didn’t bother her from 1 to 3 pm………… Love this video. And the insurance talk is relevant. Keep them up.

I love watching these old pickers at work . My grandpa still picked ear corn as a kid growing up so I got to spend a lot time dodging ears in the back of the wagon . I like to have a old picker just to save from going to the scrap yard and to play with once a year . I got a cultivator like you showed and I didn't care to much how it cultivated corn as well . I found easier for me just to make wide rows that my tractor and tiller can go down . It lets me till the weeds no matter how tall the corn gets . Thanks so much for sharing !

Brings back memories we would back the wagon up to a JD elevator and unload with sliding cable drawn wall with ratchet style windup device, the Electric motor also changed onto bench grinder paddle pump, table saw etc. Later on grandpa hired out the combining and corn picking, nowadays two hours time gets clean shelled corn no waste that would have taken four days or more with breakdowns just to pick ear corn. Good memories though....

Hi Tim & Christy.. This video brings back great memories for me.. My dad had an Oliver 83H two row pull type picker on the farm, back in the late 60's & early 70's... He was a dairy farmer here in Wisconsin, so we grew just enough corn & oats to feed the milking herd, and young stock.. Alfalfa hay was the most important crop for us, that's what made the cows really produce!!.. Really enjoyed your video, it brought back wonderful memories for me.. Thanks Tim & Christy!!..

That's a #10 New Idea picker. The 1 row version of it would have been a #6. Probably a decent match for a small compact on level ground. Those would have been pulled by an H Farmall or B JD back when they were new. On hilly ground, especially with a wagon behind, I'd never try a compact. The newer (and much heavier) 300 series NI pickers were all a 70hp farm tractor wanted (or could control going downhill) with a 150-200 bushel gravity wagon behind. We would start in the hills with an empty wagon and move to flatter areas of the fields as the wagons got heavier.

Hi Tim! I I am 61 years old, and I remember I picked a lot of corn with my father’s Minneapolis Moline two row corn picker. I was just a teenager in West Central Minnesota! And I used an M International tractor, with a heat houser to keep me warm! We had two 1000 bushel corn cribs and quite often we had one or two corn piles besides! I was raised on a dairy and beef farm so we had a lot of grinding feed to do! Sincerely, Sam Hanson 😎👍🇺🇸

As a boy, I picked corn in the late fall, for my grandfather, with a Johnny A and a two row corn picker. It was always cold; sometimes snowing/dark, after school/weekend work. Corn cribs were the means for storage. Grinding corn was the means for feeding cattle. When time allowed we shelled corn for the next year's seed. What a throw back to yesteryear! How times have changed!

A corn rake that has the tines bent down 90 degrees, would have worked better than the shovel, because you would be pulling the ear corn towards you. Did a lot of shelling ear corn out of wooden and wire corn cribs in the 60's and 70's. We would use the corn rakes to pull the ear corn down into the elevator until we got down to floor level. Then we used the grain shovels to push and scoop the ear corn into the elevator. We had various lengths of handles on the corn rakes for various conditions. 2 foot long, up to about 12 feet long. It all depended on if the corn crib had a gutter running down the middle for the elevator, or if the elevator had to be outside the corn crib, with doors/panels that opened up on the outside. Usually the people with trucks and wagons that were collecting the corn cobs, would use the longer corn rakes to move the corn cobs around.

I had a 1941 M. Farmall. I pulled a three bottom 14 in fourth gear all day long. I pulled a 10' International Disc and used a two row New Idea corn picker. All pulled with my M Farmall. It looks to me like you could do as much with that tractor as you are doing with those John Deere. I did have a John Deer grain harvester with its own motor. Did a good job, still, pulled without problems with a 1941 Farmall M. Great tractor and this was in the late 60's through to the early 1980s.

1945 Dad had a black and white pair of mules that pulled the Deering 2 row corn planter. That November (still mule powered) I would play in the wagon flat as Dad husk the ends by hand so Grandpa's John Deere B with a 2 row New Idea corn picker could make the turns picking the field! Needed a corn fork, not a scoop shovel for ease. Would do it all over again as many an evening we would have fresh rabbit or pheasant for supper.

@kaytod 2 жыл бұрын

Some of the later model New Idea pickers had a removable husking bed and you could then install a shelling bed for shelled corn. That is what I grew up with. We would fill the cribs with corn then switch to the sheller bed and shell the rest of the crop for the grain bin or for the market. They are very handy units for the niche market farmers. The ear corn can be ground into feed for calves, and other livestock, which makes a good feed when used as a base for your feed mix. As for a good cultivator, One can repurpose some chisel plow shanks as there are 12 and 14" sweeps for them. This will give the necessary clearance for taller corn and the large single sweep will do most of the center of the row on wide row spacings and may only require two smaller half sweeps if you want to get closer to the row. This aids in passing grasses and weeds for those who want to be chemical free when growing their crops, as there are only one to three shovels, depending on the area you want to cover in the row. Thank you again for another neat video

The questions and answers on insurability and the scope of coverage by usage/fequency make sense and were helpful to me. I have purchased a few different business policies over the years in the area of non-profits and I understood that communicating the usage to the insurance broker was paramount in settling any future claims. You don't get ahead by being vague and deceptive to the insurance broker - in fact, it could be a reason for policy cancelation at a time when you really need the policy coverage. Keep it going -

Great video. I use a 1966 New Idea one row behind my 2038r. I have also ran it behind a 3020 row crop and a WD Allis. When doing different jobs with the 2038R I often wonder if my Grandpa would have used the new tractor over the WD for certain jobs. This job I am certain he would have chose the new one for. The quietness and the hydrostatic drive make all the difference. I as far as horsepower it doesn’t know it is there and as the wagon fills up the weight is noticeable but I still only need to run in 2 wheel drive. When these came out in 1966 the average yield was almost 90 bushels per acre. It is more than double that now so it is a big job for the picker to keep up with the volume of corn. There is an expert on these up in Green Bay Wisconsin and he told me when I was restoring mine that 1mph was about as fast as it should be pushed with the yields we get today but that is figuring about 30k population.

@kendallcarstens9194 2 жыл бұрын

On these old New Idea pickers, and others; you want your rear elevator to place product as close to the middle of the wagon as possible. Two ways to achieve this: Change the angle of the elevator so it still clears the front of the wagon and places ears near center; or change the ratio of the speed of the elevator slightly faster so ears are thrown further back on the wagon. The closer you get the ears to the center, the less scooping needed; and momentum and natural jerking of wagon will work the load evenly toward the front and back of the wagon. This comes from decades of experience around pickers. Also, as with modern machines; the width between rollers and strip plates is determined by stalk size, just so stalk easily fits between and not so wide that the cob won't fit. If the cob can fit between the stripper plates, then the rollers will shell the kernels off. On some newer models, they offered and option of cutter knives that almost touched the rollers to sheer weeds and trash off of the rollers; which helped keep rollers cleaner.

I usually skip sponsor spots, and other advertising. However, I find your insurance spots informative and always listen to them.

I’ve been waiting to see how the yield would be on this. Awesome video and thanks for sharing this. I think it would be worth the while to open pollinate a few rows of those red ears either it being far enough away from other corn or in a controlled environment to see what happens.

Fun video! Love to see the capabilities of various tractors with the old equipment.

I don't know if that's a 1957 New Idea picker or not, but my grandfather had one of those when I was a kid. Used to open that center door in the row separator and get down inside there. That was my space ship!!

Pretty awesome from planting to harvest. To see what it takes to farm 🚜 enjoyed very much.

My dad farmed 80 acres from 1953 to 1962 using a 1945 John Deere, and picked corn with a 2 row pull Massey Ferguson picker. The only new items were his 1945 John Deere tractor and a John Deere 2 row pull corn planter. Every other implement was used. You scared me a little when you were handling the corn stalks without gloves. I grabbed a corn stalk with my left hand and sliced my left hand open. Those corn stalks were very sharp.

Tim, I would like to see a close up of the red ears and the de-shucker. Cheers!

That was a good bit of corn for a small plot and I do think that the picker worked better on the bigger tractor. Great video btw 👍 very interesting to watch

That is a New Ides model 300. I bought a used one back in 1972. I paid $900.00 for it back then. I ran it about 3 or 4 years, and then I traded for a New Idea model 330 with a sheller attachment. After that I bought a use IH model 503 combine w/a 4 row corn head.
