Couple pictures from a manual. Way , way better than hand picking.

LOTS of those being used and converted back to tractors in the 70's

The linkage that was fabbed up to make those run is insane. Saw several at the Red Power Round up in '18.

There use to be one on display at the Smithsonian Museum. Don't know if its still there.

No cotton pickers here in Nebr. Were those sold as complete units, or a tractor attachment like a corn picker?

But no one to date has been able to produce a machine that will do as good a job as hand picked.
Ever see a cotton field after it has been harvested with all the crop they leave in the field.

The Burton Cotton Gin Festival is April 23.

Going to try to make it!

Thanks for the reminder!

Jaden, cotton picker and tractor sold as a unit. For a cotton picker the tractor is set up for reverse operation. So without swapping a bunch of stuff and flipping the differential over the tractor alone is not good for much else except a loader tractor.

I see a sign..... RPRU Montgomery, Al!
Good show. Hour away, we went 2 days

Local cotton farmer here use to go over his 2, sometimes 3 times.

There was pickers that mounted on regular tractors. Had basket mounted on top. Around here they are in the brush or been scrapped. The selfcontained pickers are on way out along with cotton trailers and module builders. Stripper/processers are now the thing, one person can do hundreds of acres by self instead of 3 or 4.

Looks like it could be a very dusty operation.

jal-SD · Mar 3, 2022

Yep & I remember meeting you one day when you were there. I think you might just have fallen in love with Cubs when you saw the cut away one that was on display there in Montgomery. Jal-sd

Always interesting to see different machinery than what is used for corn/ beans in MN.

Old Bob · Mar 3, 2022

A couple of farmers in our area had this type cotton picker.

gene bender · Mar 4, 2022

BOTH WAYS i have heard about the fun converting tractor for the picker then back so tractor could be used rest of the yr

Down under farmer · Mar 4, 2022

I have one of these minus the cotton heads. Brought it two years ago. It has been converted into a grass seed harvester. But still uses the basket and fans everything is original except the cotton heads. Gets lots of looks at shows and is a dog to drive

An old guy down the road has a picker on a Super C. I didn't know they offered a picker on anything that small till I saw that one.

Would like to find an M or something bigger like an 806or 856 for a loader on one with the drive wheels under the loader frame instead of the steer wheels would go a lot better in mud.
