Greetings from Central Alabama.Damn good hard working Americans. This is America, not what you see on Cable News. Good job Fellas, stay Safe, we need you!
Old JD elevator complete with drag in that kind of shape is rare indeed. Nice operation. Interesting kernel collection system. In the old days we just turned the hogs out in the lot with the cribs. Thank you, best regards from Indiana.
That is a great video. We have a one row picker, a 2 row sheller and I used to run an 801 4wd picking sweet corn and with a super sheller and 6 row head.
We used to have two 803c power units back in the 80's and early 90s picked alot of sweetcorn with them for green giant back then but when they started buy there own it force us independents out so we did some custom chopping and picking for a few years but after a few years we decided to just sell and just stayed farming.
We had a Uni System, old str 6 gasoline well we had 3...2 lost to fire in corn, they done the job 3 rows shelling corn 14 ft header for wheat oats fescue
Nice video, what did you do with the ears? sell it as is or shell it later for feed, sorry for the stupid question, have no experience of that in crop farming
In the early 70’s I ran. Unisystem with a grain head. i remember it had a 6 cylinder Chevy motor. I hated that damn thing. Finally traded for a IH 915.
Open air drying, no bin or leg or drier, low re tax. Corn held in a narrow crib, natural air flow dries the corn. Downsides- rats, spoilage, not efficient way to handle product.everything has tradeoffs.

thank you so much
Every year I ALWAYS look forward to seeing your picking videos
thank you
"Love your videos!"
My dad and his brother shared a Uni back in the 50's for picking corn and combining. Seating in an open operators station was no picnic!
I bet not

Pretty smart setup corn cobs go into corn crib and any loose corn goes into a wagon
yes sir

My dad ran Uni-systems always broke down. The only thing that never broke was the heater couldn’t turn it off even when the AC was on.
dang
Danny looks right at home up there in the cab. Say Howdy to him for me please.

they shell the corn and grind the cops for heat and use cobs for bedding
@@Bigdaddy1992. Thanks very much

nice
Super machine 😊👍 si je pouvais trouver la même chose en France 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
thanks
IF THE ELEVATOR WOULD SWING OUT YOU COULD LOAD THE TANDEM TRUCK ONTHE GO. WE DID THAT HAULING SWEETCORN FOR THE CANNING COMPANIES.
that be nice
I guess that allows you to harvest sooner and save on drying costs.
it dose
I love that oll picker. They look like a eating machine. I'd love to have one to replace my JD 300 husker
thanks
Man, picking 6 rows at a time!
Back in the day if we got up 2 triple cribs in a day we thought we accomplished something.
thanks for watching
i have to agree that's pretty cool. Thanks
thanks
Do they pick all their corn? Pretty neat operation. Thanks for sharing.
all but Dannys
R you still picking ear corn or not
yes we do
wonder why more farmers do not go back to cribbing corn and quit paying for propane
more work
Is this for sale ?
nope
why are they picking the whole ear?

and they use the cobs for heat
@@Bigdaddy1992. sounds like a good way to do it if the equipment is paid for
Does anyone still make corn pickers? We had a 2 row picker back in the 60 's and early 70's, more often than not, the corn was chopped into silage.
Danny said yes they do
