OK,so it's G day. How about a Good day picking corn. That's the 1850 on the 325 picker. The 2-135 and the 66 hauling.

rrlund,
How large are your cribs? It is not to often that you see ear picking anymore. My husband filled 3 cribs each year, up until we rented the land out (about 7 years ago). Hard work when shelling time comes.

Good to see those Olivers and the White are earning their keep still. I would love to have a setup like yours for picking corn. Did you decide the White was too much for the picker?

Naw,I had to come home to unload anyway. By the time I got done eating supper it was raining. Doesn't hurt my feelings a bit. The corn was so dry Monday and Tuesday,that it was breaking off and laying down in the bottom of the primary elevator between the snapping rolls. I was having to crawl along in second gear. Had to keep stopping even then to let it clean out. There was some mist yesterday and a good rain this morning. It picked like a dream with those stalks toughened up. I ran right along in third. The corn went right through it like a mother in laws tongue through her son in law's business.

Ya,that old gal likes her fuel. Good road speed though. It was such a nice day,I was working in a T-shirt.

I've got 3 one thousand crate round cribs,they're all full already,then there's a 6x60x12 long crib and a 6x40x10.

Id love to come work there for free running one of those tractors on the grain carts! I really like your setup.

Want me to send you a bus ticket? I'm getting tired. I spent two weeks filling silo chopping with the White,hauling with the 1850 and pushing and packing with the 1600. Now I've been all week picking alone and have at least another week to go.

Looking good. Nice tractors. Not picking corn down here by me yet,..(South of G.R.) They have been chopping for silage though. Like those Olivers.

Nice pics. Third is the gear Jeff was able to pick in with his 1850 and 325 too. What yeild are you getting?
 

[rrlund]

I couldn't even tell you. I've filled three one thousand crate cribs,pretty much one a day working alone. I've had worse corn,but it's not as good as it could have been with more rain. The ears are filled out OK,but kinda small.

Looks like a nice simple operation. How many acres can you do in a hour? Stan
