826 HYDRO and that NI picker would make a great picking combination. Took till the mid-1960's around home, 20 miles east of Moline/Rock Island, Illinois for NI to knock IH mounted pickers out of most popular picker brand. Neighbor had a 2-M picker he put on his old MD every fall, Dad picked with a 2M-E for 19 years. Would have been an even 20 yrs but he hired the corn combined to sell the last year he farmed. Local seed corn company picked a couple thousand acres of seed corn every year with IH tractors and 2M-H pickers. Had one on a SM-TA, 460 with heavy rear axles, and a 560. Combines dominated by 1970. Only guys who fed cattle ground earcorn still picked corn. Few guys picked ear corn AND put a sheller on the picker, for shellcorn to grind for hog feed, but combines quickly took over because they were so much faster. I worked at the IH FARMALL Plant from Oct. 1976 to Christmas 1981, was laid off all of 1978. BUT as a salaried employee I worked during the BIG Strike of '79-'80. One day a couple supervisors assembling some 686 & H86's way down on the far west end of the plant got in a discussion about which tractor would be faster in a drag race. So at quitting time, a 686 & H86, both D310 Nuess powered line up side by side and from what I saw, both tractors got a good fair start. Kinda by design I couldn't see the far end of the yard, so don't know which tractor was first, but the gear drive topped out at 16.8 mph, the hydro at 21 mph. Pretty sure the gear drive probably got a jump off the line taking off in low 5th, and shifting to High TA as soon as engine got to full rpm, then the hydro just walked past it over 4 mph faster.
