tractor mounted corn picker

fordfarming · Apr 24, 2013

dad thinks we should be focused on planting corn not picking this time of year. but look what followed us home today, ford 602 , 2 row mounted picker, appears complete. want to get a 6000 and mount it and try to pick with and show.

Some place I have a Ford manual that shows that picker mounted on a AC WD45, It shows all of the brackets and how to mount it up. A couple years ago there was a WD with a Ford picker on Ebay for sale, Said that were put together new and never taken off. I think it brought $2200. It would be nice to see it mounted on a 6000 picking corn again. Bandit

I've got two of them one red of the earlier ones and one blue one. The red one mounts on 961 and blue one not sure of mounts but got it for $150. acouple of years back. I've picked a lot of corn with the red one a darn good picker.

This is a 601 mounted which is the one row version of the 602. The pictures are from last fall, I picked several loads to grind for feed.

I think these pickers look a lot better in the field than on a trailer. Be sure to post pictures this fall when yours is in the field.

Do you remember East Side Service, Roger Clark if I remember the name corectly. Was the Ford tractor dealer and farmed with Fords.

We had a red one mounted on a WD45. I remember it being a major job to prep the tractor to put the picker on. Especially since the WD45 had a wide front on it most of the time. You had to remove a LOT of stuff from the tractor to get the picker to fit.
