Its a silage cutter(ensilage harvester),not a corn picker.

That's a chopper! See the circular blower housing behind the feed rolls? Looks like it uses augers for gathering. Looks like the spout is in the previous pic stood against the elevator.

That's a Gehl FH80 series forage harvester with a CA 83 auger type corn head. The engine on it looks to be a Le Roi, though it could be had with a Continental Red Seal, Wisconsin VG4D or PTO drive. Where's it at?

Dad bought a new Gehl similer to that one in 1952. Augers to lift the material and a 4 cylinder flathead Continental Red Seal engine. Was filling silos for all the neighbors.
