Thanks for sharing, never seen this video and I have most of the john deere movies,dad and I picked a lot of corn with the 237 and 620 ,I enjoy running the 237 we pick for our dairy herd
I wonder why John Deere never shows the picker with a John Deere 112 or 115 Chuck Wagon. They worked great for picking corn. We started us the Chuck Wagons with our 227 picker back in 1962.
Ya my dad had a 327 on a MDT. as long as you had it on right it was a piece of cake putting on. But one small hill in the positioning of it you may as well unload it and start over again.
@@greggergen9104 I thought the bit of Deere info came from a discussion about Axial Flow combines on the Red Power forum. Might have been on Octane Presses site. I'll poke around.
I was just thinking the same thing. We had a small Massey Ferguson combine, and it appears to me that a 237 picker sheller unit would have been faster.
Unfortunately, no. Everything that there is has been posted. Not sure that I'm going to get any, anytime soon. Got enough projects for the moment. The Gehl 16mm films are on top of the list.
Not sure how he got access to these records and slides but the ones he has created videos of are all from the early 1960's, nothing from the 40's or 50's.
Unfortunately, the film for the 327 is my last JD flick. Haven't seen any evidence that the filmstrips were out before the advent of the 10 series. There are a couple B&W films that are/were posted on TH-cam by somebody else. Not sure if they're still up. A brief search didn't turn up anything, but I also forgot the name of the videos. Poke around, I'm sure something will surface.
The profit margin is always essentially the same, especially since most corn land is rented. The farmer is in control, if he won't make a profit he does not have to pay the rent.
Not too many young people would know anything about that old school stuff and u could take that off and put a cotton picker right on and go pick cotton by turning the tractor around backwards
Two-thirty-seven! It worked!
Even more with the Sheller!
Thank You for this detailled Video!
Glad you enjoyed!

The combine was the greatest thing ever invented. No more picking corn on the ear.
The corn picker was the greatest thing ever invented. No more picking corn by hand.
The corn picker was such a blessing.
I’ve spent many hours surrounded by that contraption back when 60 bushel corn was a bumper crop. My cousin lost 4 of his fingers in the damn thing.
my neighbor's right arm was completely lost in a corn chopper. But it's not the machine's fault...
We had one of the last ones Deere built, we used it until I graduated high school...
237 was the Cadillac of mounted pickers& the end of an era. Narrow row 30 inch corn killed the mounted picker
Yep & now some are down to 20". Would have taken an awfully skinny tractor to pull that off.
Wouldn't of worked on anything less than 40 inch rows

If you look at the sheller unit, it appears that it was in effect the first rotary combine.
Some inspiration did come from the old rotary shellers. I think John Deere was on it first, if I remember right.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 That is interesting, because I believe they were the last to actually go to a rotary combine.

I have a 237 picker mounted on a 70. Serial number 298 still use it.
A neighbor had the same.
He put a single wheel wider front tire when picking.
One of these with a sheller attachment was better than a 2 row 40 combine in corn.
And at the end of the season much easier to clean!

Do you have anything on the John Deere 35 corn sheller?
Unfortunately, no. Everything that there is has been posted. Not sure that I'm going to get any, anytime soon. Got enough projects for the moment. The Gehl 16mm films are on top of the list.
I've used these pickers in the 60s/early 70s, but never heard of a Deere model 327. I thought the model 237 was the last they made.
I hadn't heard of a 327 until I converted this filmstrip. That whole set from JD was a learning experience for me. Lots of neat stuff!
Can you do some on the John Deere A? I have a 1949 AN and I would love to know more on it and what came with it.
Not sure how he got access to these records and slides but the ones he has created videos of are all from the early 1960's, nothing from the 40's or 50's.
Most of the slides a guy finds if you're lucky are from the 1960s

I've never used one but I heard horror stories of mounting them and blocked up tractor wheels during a wet fall season.
That makes two of us. Doesn't matter what brand either.
You mean front wheels pushing mud and corn stalks in front?
The best⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🐝
Thanks! 👍
Looks like the same gathering chains as as rage 40 series corn heads
I think they're a standardized chain or at least the style is. I've seen that type on IH corn heads & the early Gehl heads.
0:28. 1960s johnny tractor.
Back when corn carried a good profit margin. Not today.
The profit margin is always essentially the same, especially since most corn land is rented. The farmer is in control, if he won't make a profit he does not have to pay the rent.
I am confused the title of the video is the New 327 corn picker but in the video it is called 237 corn picker. ????
Woops! Got it fixed, thanks!!
