Dad's First Time Picking Cotton With A 6 Row Picker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Dad has picked cotton with a 2 row cotton picker, a 4 row cotton picker, but never a 6 row cotton picker. Dad got in the cab of our John Deere 9996 and picked 6 rows at at time for the first time in his almost 50 years of farming. Later, the fan clutch went out while Jim was picking. Jim broke it!

🇺🇸Thanks so much for checking out our channel! My name is Jim and I was born and raised on a Peanut and Cotton farm in north Florida. I love music, Jesus and long walks on the beach.
The best move we ever made was in 2014 when we bought a 4 year old model 7760 round bale picker.
We really couldn't afford it but we really couldn't afford NOT to.
One man and one machine took the place of two 4 row pickers, an operator for each, a boll buggy, tractor, and operator. 2 module builders, a tractor for each, an operator for each, and 2 men tarping.
And it's here, ready to go every morning, it doesn't complain about the weather, it doesn't want to borrow money, it doesn't lay out drunk, the sheriff doesn't come pick it up for child support and it doesn't keep all your other equipment tore up.
And now it's paid for, and it's paid for itself itself many times over .
Dad has not run a six row picker before, because he has you guys to do it for him. Like I always have said...there's management and then there's labor. Take a guess who is labor. LOL!!!
It was great seeing yall at Sunbelt and getting to see the filming of Let Get Nuts. I wanted to give a special shout out to the lovely wife and kiddos for their part in the camera operations of the show. Hey, just because I told Randy how my favorite part of the Filed Rows was Keithies Korner, yall didn't have to go and blow a clutch and almost drop a nut buggie on Keith. At least not all in one episode. But seriously, getting to talk with dad, Keith and Randy was the high light of the years Sunbelt for me. See yall next year at the Reinke Center Pivot booth. PS, two years in a row, and I haven't got to meet Jim, maybe next time.
Hated I missed you I was there Thursday
I continue to appreciate the time and effort you put into these fabulous videos.
Keefe walked in like a boss! I knew right then the clutch was coming off!
Good seeing dad in the operator's seat. Missing hearing his stories.
Awesome seeing him running the machine and you could almost see it in his actions he had enough. That's why he has y'all 😂
Dad was really workin that chewing gum over lol
Love the videos with Dad in them.
Yesterday I was driving up from Florida through Alabama and Tennessee and watching some cotton harvesting. Being raised in wheat country this is certainly educational. Thx!
Farming is very expensive but that hat is extremely comfortable Keith always comes to save the day.
Love this video and meeting you at the Sunbelt show. This is a perfect application for a camera. Your dad would love being able to see blind spots on the back of the cotton picker or even for lining up to the cart. You can use any of the cameras I left with you. FYI those cameras see great in the pitch black dark. Please shoot me a text if you have any camera questions or if you need an adaptor...we can plug directly into any Deere monitor with a camera input. Best regards

Thanks videos. We should talk cotton again sometime. No row guide on the picker? Our 9996 has it but it’s kinda particular.
Yes very efficient
Appreciate the content more and more, something different then milking cows for sure,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Them new camo hats do look good
Need you some led light bars.
Nice to meet yall at the expo on wed.!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video always look forward to seeing you guys again and what’s next great job
Great video and great help is a great combination
Great video as always!! Glad u got up and running
I missed ya at expo, I went on Tuesday then went to Mexico beach for the rest of the week!
Bummer maybe next year
Dad chopping on that gum🤣
Thanks
Great video Jim
Thanks for sharing
Parts prices have gone out of control! 😮
Hey wahat up when you whent to the sunbelt exbo me and 4 of my friens were there to suport you thank you
We farm in west Texas, and it’s rare to see cotton pickers in my area at least, but there are a couple around. I’ve never understood why they only make pickers up to 6 rows instead of 8 like the cotton strippers. Good vid.
Dang y’all bout killed Keefe!
It baffles me that people use to do this with their hands. Crazy how times have changed. Evolution of machines.
Aggravating - key concept when farming. Stay safe. Dad couldn’t chew his gum any harder.
Why did y’all drop the Richardson 111 hat? I can’t wear the 112’s. Or last I seen the 111’s were not not on the website. Had to get me two Amadas hats at the expo, even though they’re not Richardson hats, they’re nice! Randy probably could’ve got them for me free!
Hey what kind of boots are you and Keefe wearing?
100% cotton!!!!
My granddad died just like that, changing a tire on a peanut wagon, fell off the jack and on him.
Sounds like there’s a new randy music video coming for “night time pickin’”
What pays better cotton or peanuts?
👍
Randy is night time picking his guitar, or nose.
Did yall have the give away yet?
Damn. That almost killed keefee
6.20 that’s what she said
What's the most modules of cotton y'all have picked in one day?
16
Sorry Jeff, 'Nighttime Picking" did not make the top 100 on I-tunes.
सर मै ईडियन हु आप के यहां पर एकड़ कितनी क्विटल कपास होता है

Lol, sure working that gum over, I'm 70 years old and can still do it
