You bet! It is a New Idea 2 -row corn picker. We try to pick with a 18% or less moisture

[Cumminssmoke48]

Is that a 2 row wide picker?

[Cumminssmoke48]

What moisture do you guys pick your corn? how do you guys store your corn?

that was a dumb comment.you never drink alcohol when doing farm work of any kind.

Looks like it would take a week to get half of that field done when you can only pick two rows at a time. Notice how long that row is when you look from the back of the wagon. Amazing that vast fields like this were picked using these machines decades ago. Now they are relegated to the small farms where the 13-row combines are overkill. A lot easier when there aren't any hills to shift the elevator and start throwing ears on the ground instead of the wagon. lol

enjoyable video for me being old school farmer here. we had the same 656 tractor and 2 row new idea picker for our dairy farm in northern indiana. it will be nice to look back on this in your lives and be able to remember those days. i wish i had movies of our farm back in the 60's and 70's. so many good memories. thanks .
