Uni-pickor

[G706]

Here's a couple pictures of a Uni. Corn cribs empty and the picker just needs a rear tire but the corn's already harvested.

My cousin used one of those for years. I think his had a 292 Chevy six in it. Must have done a pretty good job because he was very fussy about picking clean corn.

That being painted yellow is old enough to be a Minnie Moe.

Didn"t they call them a "Mule"?

I thought the Uni term is what New Idea called them after the bought it.

What ever it is called..........it a cool picture....on of those "I wish it could talk"

Perfect picture to put on a calendar.

Looks like it needs to be INSIDE the shed, they don't make those anymore. Would be a shame to let it rust into the ground.

M-M named them a "Uni-Farmor " The earlier ones had a 3 wheeled 'Uni-Tractor under the different harvesting attch.
Latter on,M-M replaced the underpowered 3 wheeler with a 4 wheeled , "Brown Mule"That had a bigger eng. in it.I think one option was a Chevy 6 cyl. Not a bad outfit in its day. I think they came on the market about 1950.
Maybe MMDel or ILJOHN will get on here with more facts , they are well imformed on these outfits. I would like to know where this great pic was taken at. Thanks. clint

G706, You beat me out on taking photos of that barn and picker. I drive past there twice a day, and keep thinking I'll come back with my camera. Like said before, great pictures. Fred

Not sure the road but it is west of Benton, Indiana on the way to New Paris.

There is so much traffic I was about afraid to stop for pictures. Took a chance and walked out in the field for a better shot. First saw it about 10 years ago we my brother in law and I got lost on the way from New Paris to Topeka. Hope someone can save it before the scrappers or a housing development get it. Too far for me to drag 2200 miles home!
