Thanks for the video. It is nice to see all that vintage equipment in action. We use to pick corn on our farm. We used the same picker, flight elevator and a 1949 John Deere A on the elevator.
Always know when a little gravity box was pulled behind a picker they all have the 3 sided plank extension.Thanks for the walk back memory lane reminds me of my Grandpa 😊
Boy. Do I remember THOSE Days ! Spend several days taking 20 acres off. Now days if a combine can't whack off 150 acres a day it's considered inadequate !!! I'll take the old days back
I had one just like it, with the big husking bed. I pulled my with a 4020 diesel , and, it would really eat the corn. When i farmed 150 bushels were a pretty decent average, and, that corn never slowed that tractor and picker down.
Good job kraz. The white throttled up all down the row till the last of the vidyuh. Course it don't hurt when pto isnt controlled so close. The last scene with the John Deere making the sound with another tractor pulling the wagon was a good one. I was looking for a John Deere implant motor until the last. Making all this old iron work for a living till you can't get parts. Sometimes nowadays a tractor 5 years old is still good but no parts. Wait until a diesel injection pump is needed and none to be found. Then you will have to call Chris losey.
The white 2-85 in this video got the injection pump rebuilt this last spring! Still no problem getting parts for the CAV pumps on a Perkins, however parts for an America Bosch PSB pump is a problem, they came on the earlier waukesha diesels. Thanks for watching.
Wow, that is really husking nice! I have one too,, but it doesn't husk quite that clean. Also have the same machine with a shelling unit (NI Supersheller) which does an awesome job!
Aaric Hale it seems the most common pickers are the new ideas, we had an Oliver picker mounted on a Row Crop 77 (the one running the dryer in corn harvest video) but pulled it off to utilize the tractor more than one month a year, plus the pull types are easier on the operator (dust) and safer. Glad you got a kick out of it! Love the old iron!
I wonder how many millions of acres that brand of picker picked. Everybody had them didn't matter what brand of tractor they had most picked with new idea pickers. This was in the 60s and 70s. By 80s everybody switch to combining corn.
Had to be a lot, I see them on auctions around here quite often still. Saw 2 last week and a 326 on auction this week. They do a good. Can run faster than some of the competition… this is a 326 with a 12 roll husking bed.
I bought a 1951 John Deere back in March. Paid 1 Grand for it. Sat for 10 years not running. After a tune up that old tractor started right up. Also have a Ford 8n. I love both tractors
hi Crazydave4455, Great video. Really enjoyed it. So much I have liked it and subscribed to your channel. I particually like at 1:00 seeing you running the machinery. Good looking corn produced there. Nice to see your farm operation. I was as I was growing up raised on a mixed farm of arable, pigs and beef. Like yourself I like sharing skills and knowledge. i have had apprentices and young people work with me. To share some of my knowledge I have set up my own you tube channel. You should check out. Well many thanks for a great video. Keep the good work up. Look forward to future videos.
Can't believe that New Idea picker. It looks new! Do you have the sheller unit also? Just found your site and joined. Great neat video! Thanks for sharing.
Dad found a lower hour unit at a near by farm a few years back, always covered. We had the same unit but it was getting tough. No sheller. Plan to start kicking out videos again around the end of April.
Great video ! Just a question.... why such a poor stand of corn ? So many skips. Anyway.... give it a try.....use a tractor with 1000 rpm capable...... run the engine speed half open. Something about the ration that changes everything ! I pick 250 bushel per acre corn with mine....moving at 4 miles per hour. Does a better job when things are full compared to half full. Just saying...
This was 2019. Horribly wet, cold, late planting, late harvest. See 2020 here > th-cam.com/video/LMuUGHv8fy0/w-d-xo.html better stand. Only have 1 tractor with a 1000 PTO and it’s our biggest. Probably not going drop duals to pick 1 crib of corn 😁 but I’m sure it works fine.
crazydave4455 The 15 hp of that unstyled B was more than enough power to turn a man’s leg/legs into ground round..an all too common occurrence in northern Indiana in the 1950’s. One of the few times OSHA earned it’s keep by requiring PTO safety shields. A neighbor man across the road from our farm was killed by his two row corn picker that he foolishly left running when attempting to unclog the snap rollers. Very sad! The husking rollers on our picker instantly removed one of my winter gloves from my hand one time when I thought I was “big enough” to not shut off the PTO. I NEVER pulled that trick again!
@@jamesharber7820 that old stuff is no joke. Here is a story from a few weeks back, of a guy who got extremely lucky. He got wrapped up in a non shielded PTO, stalled a small compact tractor running it and escaped with staples and broken ribs. th-cam.com/video/5hwoStF9beI/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoyed your video. No music just the sound of the good old equipment running. awesome thank you
That picker is doing a good job! Someone has taken really good care of it! The husking rolls are working great, clean corn!
Really Nice Corn ....
Loved those R/C 77' s..
Have been running them a long time, good workers 👍
Wow that picker really did a good job of cleaning up the ears of shocks
husker sure works good. that is some clean corn man.
Those new ideas were good pickers👍
Thanks for the video. It is nice to see all that vintage equipment in action. We use to pick corn on our farm. We used the same picker, flight elevator and a 1949 John Deere A on the elevator.
That old girl is doing a great job. Hardly any shucks going in the wagon. Real clean corn.

Love that John Deere B on the elevator. I own a 1951 John Deere B with electric start that I paid 1000 dollars for. Great tractor
The B was my great grandpas, was sold in the early 70s. I tracked it down and bought it back in 2017.
Nice video
Nice to see the older machines working. Thanks.
Thanks Richard. Check out the 2020 harvest videos, the classics are still at it!
That picker is in cherry condition, wow! It does a great job too. Thanks for the video
That picker does a nice job of husking. Your equipment all looks well preserved and maintained
Boy. Do I remember THOSE Days ! Spend several days taking 20 acres off. Now days if a combine can't whack off 150 acres a day it's considered inadequate !!! I'll take the old days back
We pick some each year. That was 2019, there is a 2020 video too.
Love watching them old machine's. Got a super H sitting under the grainery right now. Wish I could give it a workout.
Truck Dispatcher I agree more fun to use them, than to look at them. Take that super H to some antique tractor pulls!

That pretty awesome you don't see very many people picking corn like this anymore .
Aaric Hale don’t do much anymore, just a little for grinding. Back when there were dairy cows on the farm, 4 cribs were filled every year.
@@crazydave4455 I grew up with my grandpa picking corn like this with a 2 row New Idea mounted picker on a Farmall M .

Picker does a good job. Thanks
I has a super Sheller pulled it with the 2-70 ,later the ih 986 .It worked good
That is some clean corn.👍
I remember them days

Thanks for the cool footage I seen these a lot from where I am..!
Gibco25 - the Real filmed this year's corn picking video today! Be out soon. Thanks for watching.
We used a Super MTA with a 2MH mounted picker for many years, it was a good combination.
That was a fun day! Hopefully we can do it this year!
Going to be around next year? Or will you be up north ?
Very clean corn
I bought a 1951 John Deere back in March. Paid 1 Grand for it. Sat for 10 years not running. After a tune up that old tractor started right up. Also have a Ford 8n. I love both tractors
Good to hear, the old iron is great! It's a fun hobby.
@@crazydave4455 the more I drive that John Deere B the more I enjoy. There's just something about those old two cylinders I just love
👍 good video
I like that 4400!

Thanks. Dad runs it, I help. Wanted to document the old way of doing things while we are still doing it. I’ll visit your channel.
@@crazydave4455 well thanks for that. be looking forward to more get content.

How many loads fit in that crib?
Big Whane the gravity boxes vary in size slightly, average about 175 bushel ( with extensions) takes about 8 heaping loads.

Nice video. We had a White 2-85 when I was growing up. Was my favorite tractor. Where abouts are you located?
We are in the west metro area of the twin cities (MN) Grandpa liked his Oliver’s and White farm equipment. 👍
@@crazydave4455 I'm in Vermont
I’ve never been that far east, hear its beautiful.
Boy them where the day's
Are you converting cob into pork?
Into beef
Think your snap’n roles are wore out
Why? Works fine.
Don’t ever step over a spinning drive shaft again
That’s the boy, step over that open drive line, we all do it😳🥴😁🇺🇸🇺🇸
Elvin Berndt Shouldn’t do it, no excuse. But it is shielded, low to the ground and has about 15 HP driving it. 🤐
