Dad Drives the Unisystem

- 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
I like how close you and your dad are good to see.
Glad the end is here and uneventful season for picking corn. It definitely seems a lot faster for you with the uni. Great job
That 426 starts just like our Allis-Chalmers 7060s, a little smoky lol
And needing a whiff of go juice?
@@boehmfarm4276 oh yeah they gotta have the go juice lol 😆
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. 👍
Must say that New Idea Unisystem is really awesome
Older MF combines offset cab too. Mines a 850
Great video
Do you still have the big ford tractor? I would pull the wagons with that.
Hello everyone good vidéo bohem farm
1:12 great sound from allis chalmers motor
Yep that AC power 👍
@@Hinesfarm-Indianai live in Alsace in France and hi love allis chalmers oliver cockschutt and white and my favorite moteur is allis chalmers détroit diesel cummins and other motor
when i was in us helping a french farmer friend who has his farm in kentucky i was able to drive a lot of allis chalmers a treat to hear the sound of the AC motor at work i drove an AC 7550 a 7045 146 hp a 7080 181 hp a 7060 161 hp an 8550 a 180 and 200 series and quite a few others
@@noehueber6602 that’s really neat, yeah we have quite a few Allis-Chalmers tractors and we run gleaner combines.

@@noehueber6602 awesome, we have a R72 and a R52, their nice machines.
I was wondering how the corn did where you had the plow day? I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing them.
That's the next video.
Straight piped!
That Unisystem needs a paint job and attention, you know the drill…looks are everything, especially if what is behind the looks acts good, feels good and smells like diesel…lol
Good video.
Nice video
Great awesome video , almost at 50000 subscribers
It so funny , you need fluid in those Ford tires, it pull a lot more
Why pull wagons with the smallest tractor you have….? Asking for a accident
I think technically the smallest tractor he has is the TC-30
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
I never seen an older orange case corn picker before im a case man
It's not Case it's New Idea Uni-Harvester...
i dont understand why you're going so slow
surly you should be doing 4-5 mph i have never seen or driven one so thats why im asking
Trying to give the husking bed time to pull the shucks off. Plus I'm holding a camera and driving with the other hand that has a few levels and wheels to keep track of.
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
