Here's the next brochure - the John Deere No. 200 Pull-Type Picker
Permalink  

Here's the brochure for another picker that was a topic here a week or two ago - the John Deere No. 200 Two-Row Pull-Type Picker, print number A618-47-6. And just for your information, print numbers on John Deere brochures are generally read as follows:
            The "A" prefix stands for a Series A brochure - your general, detailed, full-length pieces of literature on a particular implement or tractor. A "B" folder would be a broadside, also known as a mailer. (These are the ones farmers recieved in the mail years ago, generally an 8.5" x 11" brochure folded in half and sealed with a small round seal). A "C" folder is a smaller pocket size brochure or leaflet.

             The next 3 or 4-digit number is the brochure number. This number stayed the same for a period of time for a certain piece of equipment. For example, I have several different brochures for the No. 200 Picker. They all have different print dates but the same brochure number (618)

              The last 2 sets of numbers are the year and month the brochure was printed. For example, this brochure was printed in 1947 in the 6th month (June). Sometimes the year and month numbers may be reversed for some reason.

              Hope this helps some of you out. If anyone has anything to add to this, feel free. Enjoy the brochure!

Neat stuff. My Grandfather on my Father's side had one of these for a short while. But up here in the hills they were not a great machine. By the time you had the small fields open you ran over half the corn!

DO you still have it or you know if someone still manufacture that kind of corn picker? I live in Peru and we produce the Giant White Corn of Cusco (kernels are the size of a quarter) but since it is an amilaceous corn and it is harvested with hight percentage of humidity (50%) the regular combines wont work here. They will destroy the kernels. Besides, fields are small here (100 acres top) so the actual combines are to big for our fields.

I don't know of any of these that have made it to the US yet, but Bourgoin (a well-known French corn harvest machinery company) has joined with a Chinese company to continue building their small self-propelled pickers.  This design looks more promising than some pickers that are solely of Chinese design.  I don't know how quality control is on them, as with anything from China, some is good, a lot is bad.

Hopefully, you can post some pictures of this corn.

You might consider importing the later New Idea pull type pickers, or the John Deere Model 300, which was the last corn picker of any kind that John Deere manufactured.
