Does anyone know of an elevator used with a McCormick corn binder, to load sheaves onto a wagon? I am using a binder to harvest ornamental corn, and it sure would be nice to have one of these elevators.

Thanks!

First off, corn is gathered in shocks, wheat and oats are gathered in sheafts. I would see if BW Macknair hasnt got a lead on one. He has web access. Just check Macknair & Son farm machinery. If no good, call 717 543 5136. But Id think fraight would be alful high. Good luck

Corn is tied in BUNDLES by a corn binder then set in SHOCKS. Wheat, oats, etc is tied in SHEAVES by a grain binder and then set in SHOCKS.

I guess it is different in different parts of the country. I remember when binders where still used a little around here. The binder would cut and bundle the crop into sheaves and we would stack them in shocks to dry while waiting for the threshing machine. I never have been around a corn binder but the older men used to talk about how they would stack the sheaves from the corn binder and stack them and build shock in the field. we used to cut a little corn and build shocks in the field and haul it when we got ready to feed it.

I live in s.e. PA and the amish around here use loaders on corn binders regularly. Their are even local shops that make new loaders for binders. They aren't cheap though. At many lancaster consignment sales, or amish sales, loaders are sold, although i'm not sure what kind of prices they bring.

Don't see them often anymore. Back home we made our own, double chain, wood slats, maybe 18-24 inches wide. Found some available drive to hook on to for power.
