the tractor is in great shape and the picker is very nice as well.  Bidding is starting at $6,500 on the tractor, picker, and elevator, and the seller also has a No. 50 seller offered separately with bidding starting at $2,000.  A very nice JD offering as it's complete and the buyer won't spend his/her time trying to piece it all together.  If a body could pick up the tractor, picker, elevator, and sheller all, along with the original bills of sale (if the seller has these), and find the brochures and owner's manuals on these pieces, it'd be great show piece as is.

I have a 237 and SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed - for the uninitiated) would skin me alive if I even bid, but it's a great opportunity for someone looking for JD picker package as these are some of the nicest units I've seen in some time.

I have them on my favorite sellers list. Watched a 560 and picker and a MM sheller this winter from the same seller.

Perfect opportunity if you're looking then!

I think the price might be a touch high, but the tractor is in excellent shape, and a good 620 here in GA is probably in the $5,500 to $6,000 range right now.  If it doesn't go much over the reserve, you'd essentially be getting the tractor for 6k - 6,200 and the picker/elevator for around $500.  Not a bad price.

I am a little surprised at the sheller price, though it's been a long time since I've seen one of those sell.

I saw a 560/234 combo sell a while back, might be the tractor/picker hillbillyjim is talking about.  They too were A-1 condition, and I believe the tractor was a real low hour unit to be approaching 50 years old.  Very nice picker on that machine as well.

I wonder where this guy is getting these units at, whether he or someone in his family bought them new?

I do have one disagreement with the seller as he suggests it'd be a shame to put this combo to work.  I disagree wholeheartedly.  Turning that 620 into two rows of corn and hearing those governers open up, that 237 roaring, and ears hitting in a barge/gravity box would be music to my ears and smelling the corn/dirt and feeling the breeze on a crisp day is pretty close to heaven, in my opinion.

I enjoy my Farmall/IH unit and the 237 I have on a New Generation tractor, but something about feeling a 60 or a 520/620 lean into a load makes me want to stand up and holler!

I agree - the 620/237 combo is a fair price but $2000 for the sheller? I would think that $200 would be more like it. I doubt that it will sell at that price but then again, there is a fool born every minute.....
