Keeping the corn feeding constant makes them shell all the corn off the cob better great video

I cann smell the dirt and have putt putt soot on my face? Who would have thought those was the good days.

These machines may be old but, still the best in my opinion. Good to see them still running and working. Thank you for sharing, cheers :)

How were you able to use the PTO to power it correctly as I'm guessing it came with either an engine, OR could it have been belt powered?

Hello there. This is Jim from Georgia. I meet you at your Father’s antique store. I said I would follow you guys. Glad to see you made a post. When I’m up there next I’d like to come by and maybe you could put me to work for a day or two at no charge. I like old school. All the best!

I wish my old 60 looked as good as that one! There's nothing like the sound of those old two cylinder JDs. We had a similar New Idea, one row picker when I was a teenager. Ours might have been a bit later model. Nothing like work to keep boys out of trouble, at least that's what my Dad thought. 😂

That's a pretty sexy John Deere.

Great memories

Remember as a kid me and the neighbor girls would shell corn with hand crank shelter. We thought it was a blast!

Corn Sheller didn't have a drag?

Oh, the memories that flood through my mind as I watch this. I grew up in the 50s and I remember the John Deeres. That Allis Chalmers. New Idea. All those old equipment. That was my understanding of farming. Thank you❤

Great group of men , love the Bibs , antique farm equipment memories , stay safe , love the history.

Nice to see equipment working, that is a sweet JD 60 , memories , stay safe , enjoy , my father used a team of horses back in the 30's & 40's , no tractor , I helped my uncle Benny & his father in the early 60's , JD model A , JD model B & my favorite was a 720 JD gas , I learned a lot , great memories , it is still in my blood , I cherish those days today ! Keep the videos coming , thank you .

Hey guys love the video please don’t quit be safe thanks Pete from Wisconsin

Looks like these fellas really know what they are doing here! The open belt there might be a safety issue.....nah, not at all!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Great video !

🌽 and for 50 years I thought Wood Bros was the only one row corn picker, learn some thing new every day!!!

Ran that same picker with JD Model G in 1958

Picking my hand with a wagon and a bang board I'm 80 years old we don't have a corn picker we had a bang board

Great video older guys showing young man how to fix things need more of this

The old way of picking corn. I can remember walking behind a team of horses picking up corn back in the early 50's.

This year I used my 2 row New Idea picker to pick ear corn. The yield was around 260 bushels per acre. I was told that a New Idea picker could never handle that amount of corn. Not true...I was still moving at 4 miles per hour and no issue ! Clean corn ! I bought myself a John Deere 6600 combine a few years ago. BY MYSELF I can shell more corn with my two row New Idea sheller then I can with the combine in a day. Can do 2 semi loads a day with the New Idea........the John Deere combine. Can only do 1 and a half semi loads. Reason ? With a combine......your always stopping to dump and then chase wagons . Now if I had another person helping..........hands down...the combine wins !

Wow..... 40 plants per acre for population ??? Just need one more mechanic !!!

That 60 model JD is sweet, sounds strong. #10 NI picker has some years on it, it's in great shape for as old as it is. Someone was proud of it and still should be. I always enjoyed picking corn. Picked a few acres for the calves right up to retirement a couple years back. Thanks for the look. God bless.

Hey, you left out a very important part of the team- the wagon/ running gear! How 'bout at least a brief mention...

when i was younger i drove a 51 John Deere that looked like that one, pulling a chopper to chop wheat stubble down, got a bit dirty

That looks a lot like the new idea picker my dad had. He pulled it with a 44 Massey Harris. My brother and I would ride in the wagon for fun and pull husks off the picker missed. He fed out beef cattle and hogs with the ear corn. When he went strictly grain farming, my uncle used the picker, picking corn for his freezer beef. Thank you for the video.

The sign on the JD 60 states that it is a 1954. This 60 has all the markings of a 1956 JD 60. (1) The cast rear wheel centers. (2) Power steering. (3) A tachometer. None of these features were available in 1954 on JD 60's. That is a restored JD 60, & it is a beauty.

Don't remember seeing a one row picker. We always had a two row. Can't remember what brand it was. Was tractor drawn also. Brings back lots of memories of early fifties when I was young boy on farm in NE Colorado.

I worked for a farmer in the early 60's he had the same type of picker wouldn't have anything else but a New Idea pulled by a Ford tractor, hated the John Deere. Would like to go back to those days.

back in the mid '60s where I grew up in Eastern Iowa they had 2 row mounted pickers and when the neighbor bought the first cornsheller attachment it was a big deal; I remember having family get together at Thanksgiving and my uncle was still out picking corn after he came in to eat at noon dinner; it sure ain't like that anymore; anymore these boys are done harvesting about mid Oct in these parts in Eastern Iowa Cedar Falls Iowa (formerly Mt. Vernon Iowa)

Can't get too many of those old tractors. Love turning dirt. Can smell that spring air and feel the sunshine. God bless the farmers that feed the USA.

😮😮 I hope yall know that Cresent was a tool company they made tools 🔧 😊 that's not the real name 4 that it's a adjustable wrench U adjust it 2 fit bolts that are more than 1 size 😊😊 I don't know who started that or it came from the 1 who did the dogs should've bit them in the tail 😊😊 then they would've better and they wouldn't 4 get the next time 😊😊 OMG 1O 29 2O24

That picker is in excellent shape looks like a new one!!!! Obviously been shedded it’s whole life!

That’s the way we picked corn with a 60 and a one row New Idea picker. It did a good job but it was slow going.

i am not a farmer by any means but that sure is good looking dirt.

Lvlsd 😂loved the video

I e eon 😂

The screw to hold the choke doesn’t heighten all the way down cuz it should have a spring between the plate and the head of the screw.

You’re not letting us see the front of the tractor where the identification numbers are..

The peacefulness of your farm is so refreshing

Plow 😀😀😀

Plow 😀😀😀

Thsnks for sharing brought back many fond memories of plowing as a young boy. An art no longer practised in most parts of central us.

I typed up vintage frame tractors, and this showed up, I'm up in years. I don't get it, some people think this older machinery has no place, just for looking at. I got started working in dirt when I was kid, Cat equipment, nothing at it all looks like the machinery I worked with back in the day. that old iron. It supported us, put the beans on the table, it was our bread and butter. I didn't worked frame equipment, I primarily was mechanic welder by trade. Originally from UPS,NY, farming, that entire area is sold off, housing development. Framing, combo dairy & barn yard animal, all gone the way....... Iowa if I have it right, looks awesome....... seeing everyone kicking in to turn the ground like everyone did. awesome. I'm a Believer........In the words of Boaz, The Lord Bless you.............

Nice

So many awesome tractors and plows!

I grew up riding on the fender of an Allis-Chalmers D17 while my grandfather worked his fields. 🥲

👍👍

That soil is unreal.....looks like you could plant a dime and it would grow a dollar bill!
