There are men that were boys that like farm equipment. Thank you for bringing this interesting stuff to us. I still remember a long time ago when caterpillar challenger was new on market. I was at that farm progress show. She looked good. And it started to rain. It was the trac and the mud globes. In wet field. O it was new and would go out and around all other tillage. Was the talk of Peoria,il
Visited my aunt in Corpus Christi several years ago. Drove from Houston to see her. Around Taft, saw some cotton pickers working. Stopped when the farmer was at the headland and got out to take a look, he stopped, came over and we had a nice talk. I'm from western New York state, so we never see this kind of harvester. He even let my daughters take a cotton boll. They were ecstatic! Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I personally worked on the case bale model cotton harvester when it first was developed in 2006-2007 it would've been a great machine that would've been able to compete toe to toe with the John deere bale harvesting model but , it had its flaws . The square bales came out soft and wouldn't hold their shape . Another flaw was the bales weren't wrapped and required tarpping to keep them dry . Had CNH figured out in the early stages of a good way to make the bales keep their compaction they'd be out in the fields today . That along with cotton production going way down in the last few years in the United States didn't give CNH an incentive to continue building and developing new cotton harvesters . The cotton era in the United states will slowly cease to exist
As with this country , incentive and opportunities have been eroded by Europe and successive governments so industry and the evolution of machinery has stalled . Good words 👍🇬🇧
Hey I'm from Plainview Tx just 40 miles north of Lubbock. We use 3 of those Big 12 modules builders, on a good day without breaking down we can build up to 18 modules a day.
I've never done my tarps that way. We had squeeze clamps on the tailgate,that were connected with a section of roller chain. We would roll the edge of the tarp under,then clamp it. Raise the gate,drive forward. Once the builder was clear,lower the gate,pull down the corners,and cinch the strap. 2 people could pull off,and have the tarp cinched down in about 2 minutes
These Case basket pickers were sweet. However when John Deere developed their new round module system they are second to none, however I still think a Case picker picks a cleaner row. If you look at a Case header it's twice as wide because there 2 sets of picking spindles in them John Deere still runs one set. Meaning when you run a stalk through a John Deere header it's only picking from one side of the stalk, Case has two sets staggered on each side and the stalk gets picked from both sides. John Deere defiantly has a better picker now, but I still think a Case picks a row cleaner if the operator maintains the heads right.
BTP most people who don't work around cotton don't realize how dangerous it can be. I know of two farm workers who burnt to death inside one of those module builders in separate incidents. They were working on the packing bridge inside the builder. Cotton burns with an almost invisible flame kind of like alcohol. They did not see the fire and were engulfed in the flames and died from the burns. They could not climb out fast enough. After it burns for awhile it creates smoke but not at first. Most of the time the fire starts from sparks from inside the module tractors exhaust getting in the cotton but one of those who died was conducting some kind of maintenance.
Yeah, and the surface of a pile of cotton flashes over very quickly. The billions of strands of lint ignite very quickly like a slo-mo explosion. Cant really outrun it if your standing in a wagon or module builder of loose soft cotton. All cotton farmer's kids heard those horror (warning) stories as kids of children burning in cotton wagons. It happens. A common ignition point is the picker itself. The spindles that pick the lint are essentially a rapidly spinning rough steel spike. It is common for the spindle to strike a piece of flint rock and blow smoldering cotton into the basket. Or sometimes the head stops up and friction or a doffer bearing makes fire. The fire sometimes smolders unnoticed until the cotton fluffed up when it is poured into the module builder. I wonder if the guys in this video found some fire on the picker somewhere and dumped its load in a separate pile as a precaution. You see a loose pile of it beside a water wagon at one point in the video 16:00. Case pickers with cummins engines are more prone to have small fires especially around the engine area because their exhaust manifolds glow red under power. Give the pile a few hours by itself, and if it doesnt ignite, just build a module on top of it.
South Georgia Farming - People don't realize how flammable a lot of stuff is. I worked in a flour mill and we had to watch due to how quickly the dust can burn. Same goes for corn dust. Farms and mills are some dangerous places to work.
@@mynameisray Look up MythBusters segment on nondairy coffee creamer. That stuff will go BOOM or BANG real good. An elevator for grain has to have everything as explosion proof and grounded as it can get because a dust explosion can be set off from static arcing. A cotton bale fire is similar to a hay bale fire; once started not much is going to put it out.
There putting that tarp on the hard way LOL We roll our tarp on the ground behind the builder tie it to the gate when it opens and you pull off the tarp pulls up and over the cotton until its covered then the twine breaks then just center the tarp and your done .
Depending on the location, type of Cotton and harvesting method. Cotton that is irrigated generally produces quite a bit more then dry land cotton therefore the irrigated cotton will be picked two or maybe even three times and followed by a "ROOD" machine that pics up the loose cotton that has fallen off or been knocked off the Cotton plant.
I’m a cotton farmer and we never put the tarps on like that we always had someone stand on the gate with the tarp and lifted the gate with them on it then when we moved the module builder the tarp would be easily put on the module
Thanks as always for your excellent videos. My questions related to this method of bulk capture of cotton versus baling cotton. Is the trend toward baling rather than this bulk handling (which appears to leave a lot of waste), what would the percentage be of the baler method versus bulk? On your video with the John Deere cotton baler, the HP appears to be far greater than the Case IH in this video -- but both have 6-row headers. Is the power difference necessary for the baling portion of the operation? Very fascinating. Thanks. - Dean from (non-cotton) Minnesota
I don’t understand this setup.......? I think it could be a bit dated surely newer case pickers are baling it themselves just like the John Deere harvesters???? Great video none the less 😃
Jason Collins case does have one like John Deere does but the ones you mostly see do square bales and you have to stop to unload from what ive seen/heard though I did see a pick somewhere of a case round baler
FYI those new Deere round module(4-5roundbales=1big square cotton module) Cotton pickers are 1,000,000+ and U have to buy the Bale wrap every year which I have been told shreds and puts specks into the lint cotton and is hard for the cotton ginners to get out which the farmers are docked for
Darrel I have seen the trucks that haul these they have a conveyor chain in the bottom of the bed on a tilt bed truck that is enclosed much like a silage wagon, so they tilt the bed, turn on the conveyor and back up at the same time. Pretty cool.
Nice video. When in the cotton fields while harvesting is going on, and with competitive equipment harvesting close to each other like here, did you compare how well the field was picked behind each machine? It would be interesting to know how much difference, if any, one could observe.
I ran one of the first 1822's that came into northern Ms. in the 80's, just 2 row but man I was Sh88tin in high cotton with that thing, it had the same picking/unloading system as this one.
@@daltonphillips6778 not really. A grain usually goes from mid june to mid november. Doing wheat, barley, oats, canola, sunflower and corn. And many more.
George Rs That entirely depends on where you live. Most farms around my area do only corn and soybeans. The harvestor is out for less than a month total.
When looking at some other cotton picking video's, it seems to me that the John deere pickers does a better job. Is that correct?? Best regards from Ðenmark.
Knowing nothing about cotton. Here i go with couple questions. How is cotton bailed. I have seen the big bail setting on ground and the round bails. Is there only 2 ways it is handled? There usually marked big painted marking. Is this for quality and or buyers mark?
A lot of picked cotton sure seems to end up back on the ground being transferred from the harvester to the cart. There has GOT to be a more efficient way of doing this.
they do leave behind a lot of cotton on the plants... But i guess this is a more time efficient way of collecting cotton but uses more land. But when land is as cheap as in the middle of nowhere in Amerika...
What you see left behind is lint that is unusable in the fabric process. The harvester collects all the useful cotton. This is similar to chaff in wheat harvesting that is thrown back out in the field by the combine.
It’s just like the cobs and leaves left behind after corn harvest. There were two John Deere pickers in this field along with this Case IH. They all left the same amount of lint behind. The farmer seemed more than happy with the harvest.
Brilliant , beautiful, clever machinery . And the operators obviously work together constantly , a gesture or a yell .
Great video 👍🇬🇧

I farm cotton in greenwood just east of midland tx with my uncle, its glad to see that some youtubers care about cotton farming.
Cotton is an interesting crop with lots of neat machines. I hope to film more cotton farming.
Sadly disadvantage is price of machines,well you do earn a pretty penny after you harvest cotton...

Freshly picked and Ginned Cotton has an incredible and wonderful aroma.
Your vids make me miss the farming days. Spent many cold nights sitting on a module builder here in Australia. Keep them coming mate.
Nice to see a red picker running - this is a far cry from the 782s I worked on 40 years ago. So much has changed and I guess that is a good thing
I would like to find a classic 782 in the field. Machines have advanced but the classics are cool too.

I'd think that header design would require very level fields!
Lots of roads you could never take that module builder down.

This goes on in Nor Cal also
It would be neat to see California cotton farming.
Do Case IH make a baler model? I've seen YT vids of John Deere baler machines. What if any are the merits of one over the other?
Ronnie G Case did but it didn’t really take off. It made a rectangle bale. The JD has the market on pickers.

What is left behind is lint. It is an unusable part of the cotton fabric.
Another way to think about it is just like a combine will have some grain loss they have some cotton loss
Don’t they come back in a couple of weeks and “Scrap”it?
The PTO on that module builder looks like it is ready to tear your fucking leg of if you get too close with your nice cotton-jeans.

This looks more labor intensive with a lot of waste compared to a baler.
More steps but it works well. There is no waste. The material left on the stem is lint. That is party of plant not used for fiber.
