Anyone ever seen or use a Massey Harris self propelled Picker Sheller!? I know they are similar setup to the Massey Clipper SP combines an are even more rare. I got a parts book for one an am VERY interested in adding one to my collection.

My family had a Massey Harris Self propelled corn picker in 1956 I have been told when I Posted before. This picker-Sheller looks to be a lot more Machine? Wonder what year that came out??? Others have said
the Corn Picker was under powered and not good to be so close to the dust?? Cleddy

I think there was a Massey-Harris self propelled corn picker on display about 15 years ago at the Living History Farm near Des Moines, Iowa. I don't remember if it had a sheller.
 
That must have been before hybrid corn, the way they pipe the shell corn to the wagon you could get what, 35-40 bu in the wagon? Need a kid back there shoveling to
get 75bu in the wagon, 2 rounds........

Yeah I wonder how many acres or how much you could harvest in a day? We had a Massey Clipper self propelled combine as a first better machine after Allis-Chalmers Allcrop pull type. It had at most a 6 foot wide cut. My Dad was fixing it all the time and one year got his hand stuck in the mechanical lift combining Soybeans. He had to holler and wait until someone (We were always around within Hollern distance) and broke his finger real bad. The rest of the Harvest my oldest sister drove the combine with a one armed supervisor. The next year the engine failed and they parked it and bought a good used Allis pull type to finish. My Dad didn't even try to fix the engine(probably rod or valve) and the next year we finally got something new a Gleaner E with a nice 13 foot cut. Good Move!!!!Cleddy

Hauled one to scrap 6 years ago, was in pieces and had sat for quite a while. Was only a picker. Flathead 4 cylinder if I remember right.
 
Nice - other than the injury.

Dads JD 45 had a 45bu tank, but we ear picked all our corn.

My Gleaner F had a 100bu rated tank, 85-90 was more real.

The F2 was a tad over 100. The F3 held 120. The M3 180, the L3 about 200.

But as the heads got bigger too, and the crops got better with tile and better fertility, I always seem to fill the hopper on the long fields before a round is made. The F3 with a 4 row wide head really filled fast, one field I have it was tough to make a half round on the good years! But, then, these are good problems to have.....

There was one at last years show in Canandaiqua, NY. I remember it looking pretty neat. Don't recall if it was a sheller or just a picker.
 
The MH Clipper SP combine was a 7 foot machine, the Clipper PT was the pull type version and was avaible in either a 6 foot or 7 foot model Neighbor had both a Clipper PT 7 foot and a Self propelled picker and the picker was avaible with either a 6 cylinder or 4 cylinder engine. I had a Cliper SP for a few years, would have been a good machine but was never matained before we got it and problems the previous owned caused it ti have could never get it repaired to hold up. Never heard of a picker-sheller but the first picker-sheller in the area was a John Deere High 45 combine with a No. 10 corn head in very late 50's think 59. and field shelling did not come about for many years after. Very few other shellers as wellm mostly feed mils.
