finished combinins corn today.Little bit of deer damage(corn fed venison...I wish!)13% moisture.Beat the letest snow storm.Feels good!
 
I can remember back in 71 when we were still tryen ti pick corn at this time of the year . fall was super wet and we could not get thru with a mounted picker and it never really froze . We ended up parking the mounted picker as my buddy and i had two and we borrowed a neighbors one row new idea and put it behind our 310 Case dozer that had a PTO and went after it . Even with the little dozer we ended up pulloing the back wheels off my Farmall 450 D and putting them on my buddy's so we had duals as his 450 D had a wide ft. and floater tire to help PULL the little 310 and a half full wagon . What a mess we made of the fields . When spring did come we had to run the disc. over everything twice to sorta level it out so we could plow.
 
Our problem was that the corn stayed too wet(over 23%),finly droped..almost overnight.then the elevatoir quit buying and they were full-no storage.Found another buyer-they were glad to have it.I raise nongmo corn,and these folks want it.

Only one step beyond hand picking into sacks with husking pins (I remember well). Every wet clay bottom of the field was walked. We made a woden box platform for the Super H (like a utility box for a Fast hitch) that would take weight off the front wheels and allow us to make 8 inch deep ruts with the rears. Jim
