Been viewing this post with interest and just had to add me two pennies worth. First off they are no fun to mount. I spent a lot of time running these pickers. The first ones I ran were a 101 single row semi-mounted, and a 226, which was the one built just before the 227. The 226 wasn't much fun to run. I ran the 227 on a 44 A first, than graduated to a 60. A few years later went to a 620, and a year or two later added a second 227 on a 630. Really didn't have any complaints about the 227, except if the corn was down, it wasn't very good for retreaving it. The last one I owned is setting in a shed a few miles from here still mounted on an old M Farmall. Been thinking about approching the fellow to see if he still has the mounts for my tractors, and if he would sell it back to me.

Had a 70 Gas one time that I sold. The price was 3000.00 with the mounted 227 picker or 3200.00 for just the tractor.

Dad had one of these on a 630 (originally on an A). Replaced the original snapping rolls with the spiral rolls like the 237 came out with and mad a big improvement. Also put the "Huskee" shucking rolls in. Picked several thousand acres with it. We also had the model 52 (I think that number is right) sheller cage type sheller. Used it in the early 60's to field shell part of the crop.

Don't have any equipment now but I think it's a great idea to try to preserve some of these implements in addition to the tractors. The Moline Uni's seem to be the only thing that is widely collected. That reminds me, has anyone ever seen a moline Rock and Roll mounted picker. Had the most unique method of attachment, you could put it on or take it off in 3 minutes.

I had one of those one time, worst excuse for a cornpicker I ever had. If it would have only had a twine knotter it would have made a good corn binder as it gathered the stalk and all

I've got a JD 237 with auto grease banks and has
been shedded since last use. I had it on a 3010 D.

Everything is there and it still works.

Where are you located? Do you think that the picker would fit in a 720 Row Crop?

Wish I had a dollar for every hour I stood on a 60 with a powerblock with a 227 mounted on it. With the extra power & a high speed pto sproket from TSC, I could pick 125+ bu corn in 3rd most of the time. I think the last time we mounted it was about 1973.

varmitt if you are in SD I know where another one is just south of Yankton, nice and very low hours, think it was used on a G tho and also it may be a 237 instead of a 227. If interested email me and I'll get you the phone #.

Hi Varmit,
I thought the 227 model was a real good unit --
not as good as the newer 237 unit . Be sure to get
the shields in place over the two drive shafts that lie next the tractor operator's foot platform. Sometimes these are lost , if so, I would suggest making some out of tin and install. I could tell you a few stories how people had their foot mangled because they got their foot caught in between the foot platform and the shaft
that drives the picker. Also, when we work on our
old 227 ( yes, it is still used occasionally ) be
sure to use wood blocks or an old tree stump to put under the front end of the picker. A terrible
accident I heard about was when a man was underneath one and asked his son to get a tool from the tractor platform. The son accidently hit
the hydraulic lever and dropped the picker on his
father killing him. When my brother and I heard of
this , we also used our model A JD tractor and no.
45 loader . We would put the bucket of the loader underneath the front end of the picker to make certain no freak accident like that could ever happen. I think that if you can get a 227 that could be put in operating condition and pay less than $ 200.00 for it, it is a good buy. It is fun to see these older implements working again !! Good luck to you and have fun !!
