Am new to this forum as I just joined a few minutes ago. I have a small grain farm in West Central Ohio raising corn, beans, and wheat. At the present time I do not have a corn picker with the exception of 1/16 scale models, but I do hope to get a one row pull type in the future. Growing up as a boy when my dad used t...

Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum after "lurking" for a little while. I'm from Georgia, west central to be exact, got my grandfather's 2MH mounted on a 450 Farmall and a 237 JD mounted on 4010 diesel tricycle with a sheller attachment. I've got a 440 acre farm down here, plant about...

I have a Harvey Red Head sheller that was made in Racine, Wisconsin. It's a small machine, belt-driven, but works well to keep the old F-20 Farmall excerised. I have the bagger attachment for it, but it only has the grate-covered hopper where the cobs come out. I have the bottom part of a cob elevator f...

Has anyone got an arrester on their unit? My McCormick owner's manual has it listed under special equipment and would like to find one. Would make a neat accessory!

My buddy found me a Sheller don't know what no. it is but this sheller has never been used, in the barn, so what is it worth? My thought was $500 for the sheller to high or to cheap? This guy also has the 2MH picker that the sheller was bought with, used very little and in the barn. My buddy also found...

Here are some pics from this fall. The first five are of me playing with the "red" pickers. The next three are of my son doing some serious work with the John Deere. This year we picked a little over ten thousand bushels of ear corn. We harvested the majority of the corn with the combine.

Finally got some picks back from this fall's picking. I didn't think I had gotten any pictures, but a friend snuck over and took some pictures while I was combining soybeans in the afternoon. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!!

Anyone here have any thoughts on growing early season corn for picking? I would like to have a demonstration day, but of course fall harvest gets in the way, and with 4200 acres, we can't take days off, nor can our neighbors. So, if I plant short season corn EARLY, how early will it be? We typically pla...

I'm trying to post pictures of the 2MH picker I bought last year. I havn't got it home because the guy has not moved his four row corn head from behind it. That my excuse anyway.

I was just curious if anyone has picked any ear corn yet? I would like to pick a little here in SW Minnesota but from what I've been hearing from the ones who have started combining corn is that it is already 14-18% moisture - too dry for picking!

I just went and looked over a farm aution south of Syracuse Mo. on D hiway and there will be a 227 JD picker and a Ford two row mounted picker on the sale this Saturday Sept 29, 2007. The 227 had M mounts and I think he had the Ford picker on a Ford tractor. Both looked useable. -- Edited by RFP at 04:46, 2007-09...

These pictures are from last fall when I had the 234 on my 560. Then I bought a 2MH from a retired farmer and decided to put that on the 560 because they are the same vintage.

I saved it from the iron man. Can't believe that he would let the iron man have his dads old picker. But would not sell it to me for scrap price. This is a nice picker that's been kept in the barn.
