Makes you think the next time you go to the grocery store and see all those cans of corn, all the machinery it takes to produce them and the operators that have to know what they’re doing. Quite amazing.
Dad raised about 5 acres of sweet corn back in the 70's & 80's. It was a strictly "hands on" operation. I remember early on we sold it for 40 cents a dozen. I guess that's why we never owned an OxBo. lol! Great video Jason!
Next time you’re on the east coast come check out Delaware and eastern shore Maryland, lots of sizable farms, large equipment and variety of crops. Delaware has plenty of row crops as well as truck farming operations; sweet corn, green beans, Lima beans, watermelon, and during late spring you can catch the green pea harvests
I visited Maryland and Delaware on the coast in 2001. I recall see Cartanza farms. It was neat seeing all the canning crops. I would like to visit the area again.
Cartanza family farms is still in operation just outside of Dover Delaware I believe under the name shady acre farms they do a large amount of potatoes and grain now Adays
excellent video again, i like the bamboo shoots, they taste good, keep up the excellent videos and get your farm the way you like it🥰❤ ! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
great video I ran the Ox Bow Super Jack their big boy with the tank connected to the machine as one unit that articulated & would fill that pull cart / I loved picking corn
A lot of sweet corn in my home state of Delaware too! One local farm saves the cobs from field corn! It's a giant machine pulled behind a combine. The cobs are hauled off site and ground up for chicken house bedding! Delmarva is famous for our chicken 🐔 Perdue and Mountaire are based here!
Did alot of that back in the 80's and 90s here in minnesota we had two new ideas 903 uni we had leased to a canning factory and we also had 4 trucks hauling for the same factory but back then we side widened wright into the trucks and only used the dump carts to open the fields.
I'm surprised that it take that much H.P. considering it's not shelling. Just picking. After watching, I guess there are a lot of hydraulics and their speed is pretty good. Thanks for posting this. I've never seen it done before.
@@lynwessel2471 Ye we harvest no matter how muddy it is unless the farmer wants us to get out of their field. Or else the corn gets bad and we have to just leave it there and go to the next field. During Sweet corn harvest we are on a tight schedule and never stop. 24 hours a day 6 days a week separated through two teams. It aint a job for everybody but I sure do love it!
Very cool. I had always read about Grundy Center on the sales brochures going back to the orange Byron years. I visited Grundy Center this past June. It was neat to see.
The Finger Lakes region has allot of interesting crops with sweet corn, peas, green beans, cabbage, spinach, lima beans, red beets, carrots, potatoes and kidney beans.
We pick directly into trucks unless the field becomes too muddy the is the only time the tractor and carts come into play.. we use 40’ walking floor trailers, this operation seems inefficient by putting all the wear on such an expensive tractor. We’ve been using the pixall harvesters for both beans and corn since the late 80s
This is cool to see Jason. Sweet corn is grown in Bainbridge, in southwest Georgia where I’m from, but mostly migrant workers do that on these custom made harvesters that they sit on made from old military trucks. Oxbo makes some cool harvesters. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Vogel vegetable harvesters too.
If you get a chance contact Red Gold cannery in Elwood Indiana. Go out and film the tomato harvest. It is quite the spectacle to watch. Rain or shine they role. It will give you new found respect to that bottle of ketchup !
You have to see the 2430 corn puller that picks corn that is for corn on the cob. The machine looks completely different as well as the corn head. The corn head looks nothing like a combine head
Yes I have a decent size OXBO, Byron and Pixall brochure collection. I hope to see a stalker picker in action some day. They look very interesting. Thank you for mentioning that cool harvester.
@bigtractorpower My family and I grow fresh market sweet corn and we used 3 different generations of big jack/2430. We also used a Byron for blown over corn.
I passed that machine on the road Friday afternoon! It was turning North off Perry road on to Route 19 just South of LeRoy. There were two machines, the #1 and the "8-ball."
The left over material is disked and winter wheat is planted. I have heard the sweet corn stalks add allot back to the soil. The cobs and husks are used sweet corn silage for dairy cows. They truck it away from the car very and store it in silage bunks.
Very much so. Byron was the original builder of of these sweet corn picker. They started out as a New Idea dealer to source Uni power units to mount Byron red beet harvesters on. In 1974 Byron developed a sweet corn harvester for the Uni. In 1984 Byron released the 8400 which was a beefed up power unit and harvester. The 8420 followed and Byron acquired its competitor Pixall and formed OXBO. The 8420 XL came online then the 8430 and in 2021 the 8530. They have been in the sweet corn harvesting business almost 50 years.
@@bigtractorpower that’s pretty cool. Does it really take that much more horsepower to pick sweet corn vs field corn? I’m pretty sure the old uni wasn’t anywhere near 350hp for a 6 row.
Hi @bigtractorpower may I know how to get those used machineries? We're from Indonesia and in the project of corn farming. Appreciate your reply. Thank you
The machinery is very cool indeed. I have another take away also. From reading the comments many seem to gloss over the fact that the "food shortage " is a myth. There is an over abundance of greed. So much of agriculture land is used to feed the industrial appetite and not the sustenance of humans and live stock.

Good to see that sweet corn did amazing in this horribly wet summer we've had . Im sure they run all tile ground . Nice crop men 👌

Our family grows about 3 acres for the town to pick on their own.
I remember those days picking corn, we called it punishment 😂
Now that’s a neat piece of equipment
Did not know that there was a special harvester for sweet corn. Very interesting.😎
That was really neat good job the deer an raccoons on my farm would have a picnic with all that corn

I'm a sweet corn farmer in Dover. We harvest for on the cob
O my God, ,,,, ,,the prices to operate is unbelievable God Bless youall
Another excellent video once again big T 👍👍👍 nice to see how the sweetcorn gets from field to cannery...
The 8430 is a neat machine to see in action.

I think most have hydrostatic driven wheels on the cart also. If the corn is ready they harvest no matter how muddy it is.

In my area in sw lower Michigan those are used to pick seed corn
They're also used to pick seed corn.
Here in Wisconsin we see these type harvesters every late summer doing corn and green beans.
We have an oxbow dealer in Grundy center. The have couple machines out front from display. They are huge machines
Very cool. I had always read about Grundy Center on the sales brochures going back to the orange Byron years. I visited Grundy Center this past June. It was neat to see.
OXBO makes a serious variety of harvesting equipment!!
That's quite an operation. Very coordinated. Those OxBo's do a nice job. Great video Jason 👍🏻.
one thing i muss most of the EFD move ; driving thru lakes region , seeing the different harvesters , in field and transport .
The Finger Lakes region has allot of interesting crops with sweet corn, peas, green beans, cabbage, spinach, lima beans, red beets, carrots, potatoes and kidney beans.

I farm in southern Minnesota and there is 2 canning companies nearby and a lot of canning crops being farmed mostly peas and sweet corn
Very cool. Minnesota is a large canning area. I hope to get to see it some day.
@@bigtractorpower There is a lot of action here

@clintonstubbs2319 I am from Quincy fl I know what you are talking about with sweet corn harvest in bainbridge
Sweet corn harvest is great to watch👍😁 the oxbo harvester is an interesting machine😉👍 thank you for the video👍
It is a neat harvester. I have enjoyed watching them all my life.

Are they in Penn?
@@MattTCfarm I wouldn't doubt it. They travel all over.
This was a fun one to watch.
Satisfying.
Awesome pice of equipment. Bets pulling sweet corn by hand.
They can move allot of ears.
Howdy bigtractorpower
Who’s farm is this Jason? We have some guys in southern Cayuga county that raise sweet corn.
A video of potato spraying would be fun to see.
Would love to see the processing plant!!!
It would be neat to see. A video called Vroom Farming shows the plant. It was made in 1990.
Genial Video nos vemos en el campo 💯💯🤙🤙🤙
I picked with a 560 farmall with an fmc 2 row picker, then later on with a 234 international mounted picker.
That is so cool to hear about. Did you run a Farmhand dump cart? I have the FMC and IH mounted sweet corn picker brochures.
@bigtractorpower yes,
Now why couldn't I have had that machine when I was a 14 y/o picking hi-moisture earlage with a New Idea 2 row corn picker back in the 70s?!
I’ve always wanted to ride in one of those pickers. Or at the very least sit field side and watch it work.
They are one of my favorite harvesters to watch. This was the first time I have had a chance to ride in one.
They don't seem to be controlled by GPS, which is all the more amazing considering that they also have to synchronize speed while steering.
Dam good job sod buster
Thank you for watching.
Good video.
Thank you for watching Frank.
Very interesting. Nice video
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the extra time and travel Jason. Awesome content!👍🇺🇸
Bro's hair looks like not all the wheat was harvested 💀
we have similar harvesters to this one working in New Zealand but under a different Manufacturer possibly AGCO and the dump carts are red
We have red dump carts in Oregon
yes sir, what area are you in?
@@bigjon1558
Pretty cool machine especially cuz they ain't as common as like a combine or forage chopper
Very specialized. 👍👍
Lot of good fodder laying on the ground,make good feed
The left over material is disked and winter wheat is planted. I have heard the sweet corn stalks add allot back to the soil. The cobs and husks are used sweet corn silage for dairy cows. They truck it away from the car very and store it in silage bunks.
When we had beef cows we flail chopped sweet corn stalklage and packed it in a bunker. The stuff smelled really good and the cows loved it.
Just was wondering what canning plant do they go to from that farm. Then what label di they process out as
Nice Video!! Maby You Have New John Deere in the Mais Videos onNext Time!!
I was excited to catch the 9R 390 in. This field. This was first 390 hp 9R I have spotted in the field.
That oxbo is like a uni picker on steroids

Fly to America and buy one then take it apart in the motel parking lot and call FedX, if it fits it ships..
What is your favourite tractor ever made
Mine is John Deere 9R and 9RX
The INTERNATIONAL 4786. V8 power. I purchased a 4786 in 2018. Video @ ua-cam.com/video/v-aZbHjco3A/v-deo.html
Im just curious, is byproduct used for silage? Or compost. It looked like it took entire stalk
Yes the cobs and husks become sweet corn silage and is delivered to local dairy farms.
@@bigtractorpower thanks, great Chanel, I'll do my best to watch and give a like
My brother Layden wants to know how many rows that head is
6 row 30 inch

When I worked for Neff on my dealer. We put Byron units on uni harvesters for the Canning company.
That's when I worked for a implement dealer. We put Byron units on uni power units for a canning company for sweet corn.harvest
How big is this cornfield?
I think about 20 acres.
@@bigtractorpower thanks !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Is none of their crop going to the fresh market?
All of the corn harvested this way is frozen or canned. Ear corn for corn on the cob is harvested by a different type of machine.
Operator doesn't talk much, I reckon there to many ear around.
Lots to pay attention too loading and harvesting.
👏👏👍👍👌👌🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you 👍👍

Thank you for watching Bob.
Is that marijuana?.
Sweet corn
Did you not read the title? Do you know what corn looks like????
