Here's the picker I use to pick 6 or so acres every year. It's a 1959 IHC 2MH mounted on a 1953 Farmall Super M. I leave it on all year but if you don't want to tie up a tractor year round I would consider a New Idea or Deere 300 pull type. Parts are still avaiable for the pull type machines from the dealers but most parts for IH and Deere mounted pickers are NLA.

Is that a shotgun on the right elevator? That's where I carried a 410 for pheasants!

Your 2MH must be in pretty good shape. It does pick some pretty clean corn compared to some I used to see around my area. Dad and I always used a New Idea 300 pulltype and it picked clean corn too. I agree a pull type would be easier than a mounted for those few acres. My 2cents worth Greg NE

That corn looks pretty good, appears to be little shelling and most of the husks are removed. Sure you didn't pick it with a NI super picker and just pose the pictures with the IH?

It picked the corn in the pictures. The 2MH is the only picker I own. The corn was to dry at 16% thats why it shelled a bit. Some corn hybrids pick clean and some don't, the brand of picker you run makes little difference if the husking rolls are in good shape.

Just kidding ;^) I agree the husking bed makes a big difference and how you have it set. Greg NE

Heres how I do about 6 or 8acres every year for cattle feed. Takes one afternoon and no 4 hour job of mounting the picker first, like the others stated.

I"ve got a picker just like that, only it also has the sheller attachment. Does the same job as a combine, only for a whole lot less $!
Thinking of selling it, too....

We had an IH560 tractor and a 234 picker. Prior to the 234 we had a 2MH-D. I prefer a tractor with live PTO and live Hydraulics under a picker.

If you are partial to Deere, the neighbor had a 4010 tractor and a 237 picker that worked well. Not many mounted pickers left around here and are getting hard to find.

SR, i used to do 25 acres with a New Idea 323 pull type, 1 row, but it got the job done. There was the drawbar pin, 2 hoses & pto shaft & you were pickin'

I agree with Roger,

If you had 80 or 100 acres that had to be picked, that's one thing. Gonna take a half a day to mount and remove a mounted picker.

However, for 10 acres, it's all over in an afternoon.

I'd sure be lookin' for a tow type. Hook up and go.

Just my opinion,

Allan

For 10 acres why not get a pull type. That way you do not tie up a tractor. From what I've seen they are not easy to put on/take off.

For what it is worth.
