Looks like you can get over some acres with that ole girl. Used to take me forever one row at a time 🤣 really like feeding cob corn, better than the stuff mills grind nowadays. Used to add cob, can't even find a mill with them. I don't care what anyone says.... I'll go back to the old days anytime. Take care
Always loved picking and putting up ear corn. Just felt like you were getting something done. Plus all the cool toys you get to run. Watch your fingers. Best regards from Indiana.
Visit youre country this summer and noticed that in Lancaster PA there were a lot of corncribs still half full so you are not the only one picking corn,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Love watching you with your older equipment.You farm with the equipment that i remember seeing taking rides as a kid. You take us back in time. A Better time in this world when everything was more simple. No Computers to give you trouble with your Tractors or Combines. A+
Minnesota wagon and a Owatonna elevator made in Owatonna Mn. We use to be a big producer of farm equipment years ago. The elevator on your UNI is working great after the rebuild. Nice standing corn so you can run the snappers right under the ear.
Your videos are warm and leave me with a positive feeling. Your family farm requires 24/7 responsibility & devotion not only to the farm but to your beautiful family! I have said this before but what you as parents share with the children are some of the most significant lessons in life. And as parents, you provide & share the leadership with pure devotion to all the kids! In the future, each child will have a defining moment of enlightenment and insight that will clarify the depth of the blessings bestowed on them by their unique, loving parents!🙏 Globally there are tens of millions of children that have nothing but the air they inhale. Perhaps the big guy upstairs might appoint you both as Global Parents with the power to impart true meaning of love!🙏
Looks like pretty good yield for about 4 acres. Great shots of the 839 working. As always really enjoyed the content and looking forward to seeing more. God bless all in the Klejeski family.
Alan and Jen, Your hard work on the Farmall B is rewarded by starting up in such cold weather. But, as the day goes on I think Jen might of wanted to be in the Cab of your picker., The wind started blowing and the snow started falling that's really not a good place to be on a quad. And the fast ride home, in the dark on the Case had to be chilling but where was Jen? I pray for you all, Skip Ruckert
I love the brown Swiss when we used to milk I always wanted some but here in ohio the ones I found where too expensive but we had Holstein, Jersey, and Milking Shorthorn love the videos
The Uni-System brings back memories from 20 years ago, farming with my Grandpa. He had a 702 and 703 Uni, one with a picker and one with a sheller. We had a two-row, three-row and four-row head options and a dump cart. Both machines sounded exactly the same. Thanks for the good video!
I love watching the inter workings of the machine so cool ours was the kind that you pulled behind the tractor and a hay rack. Love your videos reminds me of home. Tim😀
That B Farmall brought a smile to my face. My Grandpa's B is sitting in a pasture disasembled. I tried for 40 years to buy it and never have been able to. I love seeing one still earning it's keep.
The two pieces of corn harvesting equipment I liked were the New Idea mounted picker and the Uni System. You could do so much with the Uni if you had a little thought. I think we had the 702 with a 292. We tried to find a four row head only could find a 3 row unit.
Good job! That uni looks like the way to go to pick corn. You have snow like we have here in northern lower Michigan. Keep up the good work and god bless you all!
That's surprised me at that combine had a V6 love old iron nice stuff thanks for video I'm A Oliver not I just got an 1855 and 88 and I have a Farmall M built to a super m and a John Deere a
There used to be a lot of unies in my erea. Most of them are long gone. There was a dealer in Monticello Indiana and that's the last place I seen one. They used to use them for seed corn quite a bit. I too farm with equipment that is well used and know your struggles but keep up the good work
Thanks for the ride along folks, I haven’t been on your channel in awhile, glad I caught this one, the uniharvester running pretty good from the look of it.
Good job with the video. Nice shots of the husking roller’s and other shots. Our neighbor had a Uni-system but only had the chopper and combine attachments.
You did a nice job on the elevator. I put some plywood on the back half of my wagons when I picked. It was about 2 feet high and it saved a lot of cobs and you could fill the wagons a little fuller. I sit run my 704 but the sprayer stays on it now 500 gal and 60 foot booms, got a light bar for a AB straight line and a GPS from the truck to tell me how fast I'm going. Sure beets the foam markers I started out with.
Great video, takes me back to the farm. Your shelling a lot of corn. Your fan speed might be to low or your beater is to fast. New Idea made great ear pickers but terrible shelling units. Ok silage but no larger than three rows two was best.
One other problem they had with the units was having a exhaust underneath the hood above the motor. It held a lot of heat an sometimes the motor get to hot an started a fire
@trinitydairy yeah I milked 40 jersey/ Ayrshire herd til 7 years ago. Bought old family farm and fixing up to milk again here..ugg. 170 year old house..lol barn built 1902.
I love that uni!! Didn't you.say it was. GM v6 or am I wrong on that? Nothing wrong with a few loads done...a step closer!! Pretty neat seeing y'all finish up in the snow,!! They sure.are a.touch nosey😉😁😁😁 Thank you both, great camera angles too!! 😁😁😁👍👍
Hopefully in a few years you can get enough acres to fill up those corn cribs. As for the ear problem you have you could just build sone extensions to the box.
Nice video It looks like the husking bed might need some attention, based on how big a proportion of the ears that are not husked going into the wagon.
My Grandpa liked Owatanna equipment. He had an elevator like yours. That Uni is really neat, if it ever wears out beyond repair, would you consider getting another picker??
One complaint that we always got at the implement. Dealership on a uni was the husky bed was not as clean of a job as it could be on Ears of corn. But I worked on a lot of them and we had a Canning company that actually bought 8 units and put on a stripper head search for picking sweet corn. And you know, there was always in mud. In what conditions?
@@trinitydairy lol sounds like my Wife. I'm always giving her a hard time with lines like, "aren't you descended from Scandinavians and northern Europeans also?" I tend to actually like the cold myself.
So after the corn comes in from the header, you have screw like rods that carry it up to the top of the machine behind the cab, and a rubber paddle roller bar tries to knock the corn leaves off, and a fan blows any stalk and leaf material out the side, and the corn falls into the back and up the conveyor and out the back into the trailer? Is that how this machine works?? Do the cows eat the cobs as well or just eat the corn off of the cob?
It has a conveyor, that carries the corn up from the head to the top of the machine, there it has a fan mounted on the side, that sucks the loose material off, and throws it out the side, Then the corn falls onto rollers that spin, and pull the husks off the cob, it also has rubber fingered wheels, that spin, above those rollers to loosen up the husks, Once the cobs get to the end of the rollers, they fall into the rear conveyor, and go into the wagon.
loved the inside shots of that picker in action is it 30 in rows ?is that a new idea head ?what kind of engine is in the picker ?would love to see a more indepth look at the picker never saw one like it good luck keep all the snow up there

That UNI is quite a machine. 6 rows is high production picking. 👍🙂
love the brown swiss coming up for a treat
Your wife did a great camera job Alan
Great video , working hard, stay safe , enjoy , cherish the memories, your equipment is doing the job , great !
The views from inside the picker were cool. Kind of neat to see how they work.
Awesome video, I liked the views inside the picker.
The fresh picked corn must smell good to the cows.
Love the good old equipment.!

Some of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Good action shots of the corn picker! Great production! Keep up the good work!

Pretty neat to see a 6 row corn picker. Seems to do a pretty clean job.
Minnesota wagon and a Owatonna elevator made in Owatonna Mn. We use to be a big producer of farm equipment years ago. The elevator on your UNI is working great after the rebuild. Nice standing corn so you can run the snappers right under the ear.

Very cool machine. Looks like the fix on the elevator is holding up well.
Reliving my childhood memories watching this.
Thank you for another great video
Keep plugging away you’ll get it all done ❤👍
That uni looks pretty good out there picking corn
Great job picking ear corn 🌽 Alan
Looks like pretty good yield for about 4 acres. Great shots of the 839 working. As always really enjoyed the content and looking forward to seeing more. God bless all in the Klejeski family.
That small farmall is perfect for running the elevator

She was on the 4 wheeler, she said it was pretty chilly

Those were good camera shots. Amazing how companies figure out processes to move the ears through the machine.
good ole days.dad and i picked corn in the snow many times.
Geees even the cows want to help!
Looking good harvesting alan
Wow!😆 nice shots of the uni!. Old girl got some what for in her yet!!!
that was a true cold start on the harvester
The Uni-System brings back memories from 20 years ago, farming with my Grandpa. He had a 702 and 703 Uni, one with a picker and one with a sheller. We had a two-row, three-row and four-row head options and a dump cart. Both machines sounded exactly the same. Thanks for the good video!

Boy that brings back memories!!!
We had a Uni-System with 292, Combine and Picker. It was a good machine.
I had an old gmc grain truck with a v6. You can’t mistake that sound.
Very good job and God bless yall

Looks like that 86 day Corn has served you well AL. Fun video to see that old Uni still going strong. Thanks for sharing.
Another very interesting video like the old equipment works really good
Good job! That uni looks like the way to go to pick corn. You have snow like we have here in northern lower Michigan. Keep up the good work and god bless you all!
I was fearing for you and Jenn’s safety those cows had numbers and were trying to get at that corn. Great video, nice to see the picker in action.
that Owatonna elevator was made in my home town.
Great video Alan
That's surprised me at that combine had a V6 love old iron nice stuff thanks for video I'm A Oliver not I just got an 1855 and 88 and I have a Farmall M built to a super m and a John Deere a
Cool, I like Oliver too, maybe some day, we'll get one.
those uni's are great for opening fields. one of the most respected farm family around us still use them for corn and chopping hay.
Cool
Darnit! That's an antique tractor
RHIS MIGHT BE THE NICEST VIDEO THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. VARIOUS CAMERA ANGLES MEAN LOTS OF WORK, NICE work.
Totally awesome, I sure miss those days.
Something romantic about picking ear corn after dark!
There used to be a lot of unies in my erea. Most of them are long gone. There was a dealer in Monticello Indiana and that's the last place I seen one. They used to use them for seed corn quite a bit. I too farm with equipment that is well used and know your struggles but keep up the good work
Thanks for the ride along folks, I haven’t been on your channel in awhile, glad I caught this one, the uniharvester running pretty good from the look of it.
The high speed is cute!
Good job with the video. Nice shots of the husking roller’s and other shots. Our neighbor had a Uni-system but only had the chopper and combine attachments.
Another great video Slow and steady wins the race
Always enjoy your videos all the great camera angles of how everything works stay safe and warm and have a blessed Christmas thanks for sharing
God bless u Allen hope u an family had a merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Another great video, like all the different camera shots, thanks for posting, God Bless
you did a great joe fixing picker elevator and is working again

Great video
The UNI, now thats a "massive beast" like the 1066. #callback
What a sweet rig.
Love your videos
Really enjoy watching your videos keep them coming
Those old girls wanted some of that corn ya should have thrown out a few for them LOL PS some real good camera shots.
Jen fed them plenty, that's why they kept coming back for more.
Great video, takes me back to the farm. Your shelling a lot of corn. Your fan speed might be to low or your beater is to fast. New Idea made great ear pickers but terrible shelling units. Ok silage but no larger than three rows two was best.
One other problem they had with the units was having a exhaust underneath the hood above the motor. It held a lot of heat an sometimes the motor get to hot an started a fire
straight pipe them. sounds nice then too
Gotta love farming up here in Siberia..lol. I'm an hour north of yous guys. Palo- Aurora area
Yeah that's for sure! Lol
@trinitydairy yeah I milked 40 jersey/ Ayrshire herd til 7 years ago. Bought old family farm and fixing up to milk again here..ugg. 170 year old house..lol barn built 1902.
That's cool! Do you have a market lined up for your milk?
Love your vids
looks like a lot more corn than you first thought dont think it will go to waste cows will love it that picker fastinates me where did it come from?
My grandpa bought it from another farmer, down by New Germany, MN.
Another great video A&J Jennifer camera work is very good your young stock look good has sturgeon lake been missing out on the snow?
Yeah, we don't have to much snow, but we're supposed to get a bunch next week.
I love that uni!! Didn't you.say it was. GM v6 or am I wrong on that? Nothing wrong with a few loads done...a step closer!! Pretty neat seeing y'all finish up in the snow,!! They sure.are a.touch nosey😉😁😁😁 Thank you both, great camera angles too!! 😁😁😁👍👍
Yeah, it's a GM V6
@@trinitydairy Thank you, I thought that's what you had said before 😁
Hopefully in a few years you can get enough acres to fill up those corn cribs. As for the ear problem you have you could just build sone extensions to the box.
Nice video
It looks like the husking bed might need some attention, based on how big a proportion of the ears that are not husked going into the wagon.
A lot of the rubber husking fingers are missing
It all will grind and is actually great for feed because of the scratch factor and how cattle stomachs work.
My Grandpa liked Owatanna equipment. He had an elevator like yours. That Uni is really neat, if it ever wears out beyond repair, would you consider getting another picker??
Yeah I would get another picker, I don't know if I would get another uni, or just a pull type one again.
What year & make is the tractor by the corn crib , amazing , thank you for sharing .
It's a 1946 farmall B
thank you
You didn't get your rubber deflector on the shoot yet, in between the thousand and one other things to do
Another great video! Did I spot a JI Case combine setting in the background?
Yeah, it's a 660, but it doesn't run anymore.
Please stay safe.❤
When did you get that picker Al?
My grandpa bought it a few years ago.
Minty ol girl I have a ol 2 row pull type I should pull out
One complaint that we always got at the implement. Dealership on a uni was the husky bed was not as clean of a job as it could be on Ears of corn.

I tend to actually like the cold myself.
@@trinitydairy like most women 😆
What motor is in that new idea I know the older ones had V 8 then the newer ones Straight 6 cylinder motor then on to the diesel good machine for sure
It's a GM V6 gas motor
Great Vid thanks👍

I should have waited
Is that the same piker that got smooshed in the old barn? 🐂🐄🙂
Yes it is!
That's awesome. Love it! Thanks
an antique, but hey, it works
All that ear corn the kids should raise a couple of pigs for a side line they might make out selling half and hole butcher pigs😊
We have in the past. We just don't really have a place for pigs on the farm.
loved the inside shots of that picker in action is it 30 in rows ?is that a new idea head ?what kind of engine is in the picker ?would love to see a more indepth look at the picker never saw one like it good luck keep all the snow up there
Thats a 401 V6 big block GM gas.
Yeah, it's 30in rows, it is a new idea head, it's grey, because it's a little newer, after they went to grey color, and it's the 401 V6 gas motor.
You need to put led lights on that machine
