H Farmall With T Row Corn Picker

Anonymous-0 · Feb 19, 2009

I have read that a mounted two row corn picker is really too much for an H Farmall, but it was still done my some. Does anyone have a picture of one they could post or refer me to. I have always liked the concept of little tractors doing big jobs....Something about beating the system I guess.

Thanks,
Glenn F.

There are pickers designed for them. Some two row pickers are designed for heavier tractors. We picked with an H and SH for years. JimN

when i was young grampa had a #24 mounted picker or a h. but as corn yields improved it was too much for the h and the picker. he bought an m and a 2mh picker. that was in the early sixties. i'm guessing that the #24 picker was designed for about corn that would yield about eighty.

Where I was raised in NE Iowa in the '50s, there were a lot of Hs & SHs with #24 pickers on them. Most 2MEs or 2MHs were mounted on Ms or bigger and later models. At that time there was a lot of 100- 120 bushel corn in the area.

The # 24 is a snapper without a husking bed.

My dad put a new #24 on the H in 1947, H survived, picker didn't. The husking bed was on the same roller as the snapper, the back section . I can remember Dad arguing with others when they told him it didn't have a husking bed, he told them take a look. It did a lousy job though.

I do not recall that corn pickers took a lot of power....except to pull a heavy loaded trailer up hill. Where I was, corn yields topped out at about 100 bushels per acre and we tried to keep our drill spacing 10 to 12 inches or more.

My dad had a #24 mounted picker on his Super H for several years. That was not a good corn picker as others said. The wild ducks liked him and so did I as a duck hunter as it shelled a lot of corn as it picked it. It brought half the field in when it was dry, but picked fairly clean when it was damp as the two roller husking was not that good. He eventually sold it and bought a 2PR pulltype corn picker which was like going from the bottom to the top in corn pickers. He still pulled it with the Super H which was a struggle on the hills with a load of corn in tow. Roger
