- I had some people request to see the New Idea Supersheller in action. As i said in my last video, my neighbors were interested in using my sheller to harvest 30 or so acres of corn on a farm they rent. They came to pick up the supersheller about an hour after I made my last video. In this video, you'll see one of my neighbors pulling the supersheller behind a JD 4020 tractor.
If I ever get to hobby farming, that will be my poor man’s combine. Our new idea pickers always performed well.
Yep, they were (and still are) good machines.
That was interesting watching the New Idea machine shell corn. Enjoyed seeing that 4020 you know I'm really partial to that tractor. The countryside scenery was absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to go over there my friend I really enjoyed seeing all of this.🙂☕
I'm glad you enjoyed it, SBF. Maybe you and your wife need to come up and see the countryside in person sometime. You know you'd have a place to stay. You're always welcome. That 4020 of my neighbors has done a lot of work. I've driven it many times as I've been helping them. Thanks for being here.
Thanks very much for taking your time and fuel to bring this action for us, it is much appreciated my friend, the New Idea works wonderful and great to see it urn it's keep. Thanks again my friend
Thank you for your kind words, Jan. I'm very glad you enjoyed the video and took the time to comment.
Great scenery from where you are. That was neat seeing the super sheller and 4020 in action. Thanks for sharing!
I love it here. Been here all my life and would never want to live anywhere else. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for stopping by.
Great video , if you can work with your neighbour and get along you're doing well . Great set up , if it's only dropping a little then it's working like a limo. Great film . 👍🇬🇧
Yes, my neighbors and I get along and help each other as necessary. We enjoy it - it's the way things always used to be around here.
You know Charlie. I truly believe that nothing is built as good as it use to be. I really enjoy working on the older stuff and keeping it going. That supersheller made a beautiful sample and did a phenomenal job. Thank you for another wonderful video. Love the channel and the content
Thank you for your kind words, Matthew. I agree that the old stuff was really something special. How many machines made today will last as long something like this did? I am perfectly happy with my older equipment and at least it CAN be worked on. I'll keep my old stuff going as long as I possibly can. The old supersheller does put out nice clean corn.
@@pagrainfarmer The answer to your question is nothing. All these companies now a days wants you to keep buying new and the parts are getting harder and harder to find. There are just a few places that we can even get stuff for our older equipment unfortunately. I am not looking forward to the day when parts are virtually impossible or just not able to be found at all.
@@matthewdavis4081 Well, when that day comes, we'll do what farmers have always done - adapt!
Enjoyed watching cousin Charlie! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Hey Cousin Scott - glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for stopping by - don't forget to come back! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just bought one, going to get it home and do a load or 2 with it this fall. Great video, just found your channel, keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words and welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy your sheller and my other videos.
Great view of beautiful terrain with the mountain backdrop. That tractor gets right along with the picker/sheller. Moves combine speed.
Yeah, you can move pretty fast with that machine. It really gets the job done. thanks for watching and commenting.
New sub here, my parents left my Mom's family farm to go to the steel mills in Indiana.
I spent many perfect summers with my Grandparents on the farm just between Williamsport and Montgomery.
My cousin bought the farm and raises Hereford beef cattle.
Thank you for subscribing. I know I'm partial, but PA is a beautiful state. I hope to see you back here again.
Nice video. It's great to see the way it used to be done and somebody getting good use of it.
Yeah, I enjoy the old ways. I'm really glad this machine is getting used this year. It sat for 7 years and this gets all the chains, gearboxes, etc., lubed and loosened up. Thanks for supporting the channel, Mark.
Love seeing the old machines out there still doing there thing.great video thanks so much.
Thank you, Robb! I like seeing and also using old machines. I like doing things the old way.
@@pagrainfarmer I agree with you 100 percent
Charlie we had one just like that. That's what we used for many years was a two row picker and also a two-row picker with a sheller. I sold Dad's picker sheller maybe a dozen years ago to a man that was going to use it for his food plots. whatever the deer didn't eat he would picker shell later.
Well, I hope this video brought back memories for you. I know that every time I see or use old equipment, it brings back lots of memories of when I was younger. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice video. Corn picking was always my favorite time of year. Never used a sheller. Dad got one with the mounted picker, but sold it for $25 cause he wasn't gonna use it. We used an 88 diesel on the picker. Hills there look just like southwest WI.
Harvest is my favorite time of year. Absolutely love it and look forward to it every year. Thanks for watching and for your kind words.
Nice job. I grew up farming in western PA (Westmoreland Co) and we used a NI picker on the dairy farms I worked. Interesting seeing the sheller in action. Been thinking about getting a used 2 row narrow sheller for my my small patch of popcorn, so nice to see one in action and generating decent samples. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, the Supersheller puts out really clean corn and does not crack the kernals. I've read that they were primarily produced for the seed corn industry to shell their seed corn. I'm not that far away from Westmoreland County. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent video...👍
Thank you! I appreciate you being here.
If I keep using mine to do corn I've thought about getting a wagon with an auger like setup for fertilizer and use it to move the corn to a truck. That way if it's muddy you can keep the wagon lighter so you can keep going and using a truck is faster to move it to the mill for storage.
That's a good idea!
She's hard working woman God Bless 🙏 you! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Yes she is hard working. Thanks for watching my channel and commenting. It means a lot.
Thanks for sharing Charlie! My brothers and I have been tossing around getting a super Sheller because we only have 26 acres to play with I think that would be fun. Happy Thanksgiving
If you do get one, you won't regret it. Although they aren't that easy to find. Good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent video I wish I had something like this. This would be so much fun. Happy Thanksgiving and have an awesome week
It IS a fun machine to use. I always enjoyed it when I used it. You have a great week too, and a wonderful Thanksgiving. Let's give thanks that we get to participate in farming, which I consider a privilege. Thanks for supporting my channel.
4020 was jd best tractor in that size, almost purchased one when seeking a tractor that size, ended up getting the ih856 sitting next to it, half the hours on it and 25% less on the price, both were in excellent condition
Yes they were/are good tractors
Never had a Super Sheller but we do have a 324 picker that we pull with one of our 4020s. Usually the powershift one if it’s available. It’s well used and needs elevator paddles something fierce. It’d be nice if we had a 325 though as we currently pick narrow rows with the 324 wide row picker. It’s probably been 30 years since my family raised any corn on 40” rows. They used to run new idea mounted pickers on a Farmall 560 before the pull type one came around. I would’ve liked to see that back in the day.
The old machinery does make me feel nostalgic. I loved the old days and still enjoy it to some extent through the use of my older equipment. I have no plans to move away from the 38 inch rows as my combine and planter are set up that way. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Pennsylvania grain farmer cool video I never seen one of them before nice view
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm really glad you enjoyed this video. That's always my goal.
Super Sheller works pretty well! Looks to me like you can go a bit faster with it than I used to be able to go with the NI 213 sheller I had.
Yes, you can fly through the field with that machines. My Oliver 1650 had 6 forward gears and I was generally able to harvest in 3rd gear. Thanks for stopping by, Pete.
The old reliable killbros 350 wagon. Seemed every farm around had at least 1 if not more of them. We had 2 we picked into with an Oliver #5 and 770 diesel narrow front.
That's my neighbor's wagon, of course. I have 2 gravity wagons, too, but mine are J & M, which were pretty common around here. Their wagons wagons have a capacity of around 200 bushels, while my old J & M's hold about 140 bu. My Dad bought them around 1970, so they got some years on them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You said about j&m wagons, there used to be a dealer by Greensburg called J&M. I know they didn't build wagons but they were an Oliver and white dealer.
They've been out for what about 20 years?
@@craigmiller4259 I know they were still in business in the year 2000, but went out of business sometime shortly after that. I used to go there a lot.
Cool old sheller.
Yes, it sure it. I really like it. It's my backup machine for my old JD 4400 combine for corn. Thanks for supporting my channel.
Pretty cool
Yeah, it's a pretty awesome old machine. And to think it almost got scrapped before I had a chance to buy it. Right place, right time, I guess. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You know I have to say considering how old that is that thing is working pretty good what’s the last like behind it you know like every combine has a bit of loss was lost like behind one of those and again you live in an extremely beautiful area
Thank you for your kind words. If you look behind this machine, there is almost no loss of corn kernels. Not zero loss, but small enough not to make any kind of difference. Almost zero loss. It's a remarkably efficient machine. As always, thanks for watching and commenting.
Man yeah Mr Charlie!!! Thank you VERY much for getting us some video!! That thing is awesome, never knew such an animal existed!! I will be long looking for one of these now!! Would be perfect for my little farm if I ever get to raise some corn!! Thank you very very much my friend!! Looks like it worked flawless!! Looking fwd to seeing what's next!! 😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yep, for a 1980's machine, it does great! Glad it gave you some ideas. A machine like this, if available, might be a better alternative for you rather than a combine.
@@pagrainfarmer 😁😁👍👍
That is so cool!
Yeah, it's an awesome machine. It's really fun to run - doesn't seem like work at all. It just goes and goes! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Question would be, even when dry, how much corn is going out the back end or not being grabbed by the rollers with 50 year old technology?
If you walk the field, there are almost no kernels on the ground, even though the technology is that old. I did that the day of recording this video and there really was nothing on the ground. Nothing left on the cobs either. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I don't know what your yield per acre is, but it appears that you move faster than a Massey Ferguson 205 self propelled combine that we had.
I'm not sure what his yield was either. It wasn't tremendous or anything. But, this machine will move through quickly even when the corn is heavy. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Did many acres with one of in Canada
I'm surprised you didn't have a Cockshutt instead. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Had a 1085 or 1135 Massey Ferguson tractors on it Back in the seventies
@@robertburt9071 Oh, ok!
I think I have delivered your bagged fertilizer from Farm Bureau before?
That's possible.
There was never a real need for the super sheller. I have the smaller sheller and traveling at around 5 miles per hour with 250 bushels per acre it handles it just fine. I also use the same ( but another unit ) to shell out my corn crib. Heres a link to that video. th-cam.com/video/EEVvlA0TChc/w-d-xo.html It can do 1200 bushels per hour if you can get the corn to it. I dont even try that. Maybe 500 bushels per hour.
