Pull behind corn harvester

[Charlie175]

I'll get down my dads later this week to take a picture.

Corn is picked in Oct. when it dries out. We start cutting the outside edges by hand early when it is still green, but you can't give the cows to much per day as it can be bad for them.

This site has one that is similar but ours has a platform at the bin.

here is a single row picker, although a newer model than ours

I think IH made pull behind combines longer than AC did but search for a AC 66 or 90 combine as they were good units.

These guys (S&S Equipment) on TractorHouse are actually located very close to me and they have a lot of pull-behind corn pickers. This one is the most expensive.

Both IH and Deere built pull type combines way up into the 70's, maybe on in to the 80's. Deere built a pull-type based on the 6620 and 7720 Titan self propelled. Not sure if they went on with them into the Titan II series or not.

John Deere built pull type combines up till 1995. The last model was the 9501.

Robert, I have ridden one of those sidehill combines during the wheat harvest over in eastern Washington. You can actually feel the combine slide sideways downhill on the wheat stubble as you move forward. Seems like it shifts 4"-8" and the driver just keeps compensating. Those guys, over there, actually put on special kits to allow the combine to tilt more than the factory models. They did mention to me that the older John Deere sidehills didn't have good enough brakes for that steep ground. My dad has a JD 6620 sidehill, but his fields aren't anything as steep as your photos. Great pictures.

Check out this John Deere 7721 pull-type combine!

That is a beast, wonder how much HP it requires?

How does all that terraced ground get irrigated? It seems that corn takes a fair amount of water.

Hi,
FYI. I do have a John Deere #18 single row picker available in lower Michigan. It should be field ready and had some new paint put on this past week. No sheller on these. I tried to get some decent information for you but keep comming up short. Ertl type models are on ebay. What I can say is that it uses rubber flails to strip the husks rather than steel scrapers. I'm in partners with it and think we would probably consider letting it go for $500. I actually need/want a picker with a sheller. Just missed a Gleaner 2 row wide combine. It had been sitting unused in a barn for the past 20 years only 1.5 miles from my field. It went to scrap a week ago for $800. Saw a 1 row New Idea/Agco picker(335? sorry - forget what number) sell for $940 today at auction.
