Rotary Scything Sweet Corn

  • At time of filming, we were still a couple months away from cutting corn silage to fill the silo. The early sweet corn patches would have been overdone by that time. Thanks to Bandit, we had a brilliant idea to harvest the corn plants with an MC rotary scythe. The next video will have the remainder of the silaging process.

    Great Video,
    I worked for Mathews from 1974 to 1987 as a welder and we built 1000s of them.
    The chopper we built had a chute to blow Hay into your wagon. Similar, but not the same machine.
    Nice to see this old machine, brings back memories!!!!
    These things were built to last.
    The company mato was IRON HORSE QUALITY.
    Thanks for the video 👍

    Is this the original idea of a disk mower conditioner but way back in the day?
    I’ve never seen anything like that, was honestly surprised how well it cuts

      These were made in all kinds of variations as Jacob said some had a spout for filling a wagon. They were built like this one with the cutter knives others had links of chains all of them were wicked . They worked very good on corn stalks after the ear corn was picked as the stalks were dry and would shatter.

      Because with the cutting cups spinning forward and up it lifts stuff up and cuts it and then slings it up over the top on the underside of that hood and then shoots it out the back... the cutter part is spinning backwards to the direction of travel...
