Picked a lot of corn with a JD 226 mounted on a JD 60 and it worked just fine as long as you kept the drive shafts true and tight and replaced the chain sprockets and chains on a regular interval. We did not have the clutch mod but I can tell you I have banged up my hands many times hitting the right side of the picker so the mod helped there. As a side, many times I would stand up while picking corn to see better and get out of the dust and heat for a period of time. That clutch mode would he a good thing to declutch without sitting down. We eventually went with the JD 227 and Jd 237 pickers which were definitely an upgrade. I had always wants dad to buy the corn sheller attachment but he wasn't interested. I have lot of fond memories picking corn in freezing weather when the ground was muddy and we had to wait until it froze so we could get into the fields as long as it wasn't too high of a moisture content. I would love to spend a couple of hours in a picker with a two cylinder JD picking some good river bottom corn. [Reply]   [No Email]
