  • One last corn picking video for the fall. Dad decided we should pick the remainder of the silage corn. I think Dad likes driving the unisystem, but there's plenty of levers for all the functions.

    Beats plenty of buttons for all the functions, and when they quit or get temperamental you're screwed...
    Still some machines have better ergonomics than others... For instance the PTO levers on Fords... bad enough it's under the seat, but then on the 5610S's they made it way smaller than the older curved ones like we had on the 6600... Deere puts it up on the console on the LH side, which is handy, and you can feather it in which is nice. Oh well, it works.
    On the old IH cotton pickers, you had a lever for engaging the drums, a lever for engaging the ground drive, the transmission shift lever for the 3 speed transmission, and the blower drive cable, which I made a lever because it was directly under the spindle water tank and got dripped on a lot and overflowed on when filling and the cables inevitably locked up after a couple years and the cables got expensive, and were always stiff to pull up or push down even on a good day... a straight pull rod with a handle on the end worked much better. You'd shift the ground drive out so you could run the picker units sitting still for greasing and flush oiling which lubed the bearings, and washing down the spindles and moistener pad columns and stuff...

    As a kid I grew up watching us pick 2 rows of 30 inch and then went 3row pull type. Then we got a unit like yours and a 6 row wow was that a huge difference. Unfortunately the only picker I could track down was the 2 row new idea that my grandfather bought new and I almost have it all repainted and complete. Thanks Jacob for a awesome video

    Uni System was a great idea, but a pain to keep everything running in top shape. If you only want to have a SP Picker, then you have a nearly perfect machine. 👍

      What's the rush? Besides, the more you cram in the faster you go the more you overload the husking beds and the more trash you end up with in the wagon...

    You travel way to slow for picking corn , wasting time and most of all burning more fuel then you should, cutting, your on profits down
