does any have, or had a 1 row mounted ear corn picker?
i was talking to my neighbor, and he said john deere had a semi mounted? corn picker in the 50-60s?
he didnt remember any details?
did other companys make one?
any one have one? or used one?
seems like a pull type would be simplier to use, so i wonder what was the advantage of semi mount picker?

thanks
 

A mounted picker is much better for opening a field. Several companies built a one row mounted picker. Woods Brothers was just one. Neighbor had a one row mounted on an Allis WD. I don't know what brand the picker was.
 
Their picking corn with 1 row pickers at Rantoul,on you tube,watch them,even the little Ford tractors had a 1 row!!!
 
I know Ford made one as well as John Deere and woods brothers. I believe case made one for the little VAC too, but I'm not sure on that, the pic I saw may have been another brand of picker. The advantage was back then tractors were so small that pulling both a picker and wagon was too much. By putting the picker on the tractor you only had to pull the wagon. The advantage for opening the fields that you get with a two row mounted doesn't exist for the one rows that I've seen as they all hang off the side of the tractor.
 
I went to my book and found that case did make one for the VAC tractor.

Deere had several... the 101 was a "semi mounted", I think the 18 was too. There was also a 127, which was one half of a 227 mounted picker.
 
Owner of the dealership I work at has an original one tucked away in one of the barns. Its on what I believe is a ford 2n. Looks like it wasn't used much.

Not a picker but our neighbour’s had a 3 pth IH forage chopper. I thought it was a great set up because you didn’t have to be looking backwards to watch the corn feed into the header. Often also called a wrap around harvester. I don’t know, but I would bet IH probably offered a wrap around picker too. Neighbours had their harvester mounted on the 3pth of their IH 674. And could drive along cutting one row at a nice clip
 
Ford made a picker for the N series tractors. at one time they were plentyful.At one ime an older man in the comunity had a ford picker mounted on an H Farmall. I have a Ford picker mounted on a VAC Case. I keep thinking of 'restoreing' it play with.
 

Dad bought a Ford 601 side mount in 64, we ran it on the Fordson Dexta we had, we still have it for parts
I run mine on my 4000 but also have mounting brackets on my 4000SU and 801

My Dad had a John Deere semi-mounted 101. Seems like it took a whole day to get it mounted and ready. If the field was muddy, it tended to pull the JD B off the row, so you had to ride the brake a lot.
 
I've seen a corn head on an Allis Chalmers All Crop combine, don't remember if it was a one or two row head.
 
I have a Woods Brothers one row pull type. You can't go slow enough to keep it from plugging in 100+ bushels per acre corn when you have it behind a VAC Case w/o live PTO. But you can (with a lot of clutching) if it is pulled behind an SC Case that has live power. I'd guess that poor old picker just wasn't designed to work well in 100+ but corn. The SC will handle a full wagon better than the VAC does, too.
 
The All Crop heads were two row. There were two unused ones that went to scrap at a local dealer auction in the late 70s
 
I had a John Deere #120 semi-mounted corn picker on a Ferguson TO-20 and later on a MF 135. Worked good with both tractors. 120 was an up dated version of the #101 I believe.
 
The one row mounted picker for the C,SC,200,230 models were great they had advantages over pull type because they picked one row as they opened up the fields and the wagon was rite there
