"Back in the day" when picking was in vogue, Dad did a lot of custom picking, including "opening up" fields for farmers, meaning using his mounted picker to go through the field at intervals so the guy did not have to smash down rows when he harvested with his pull type.
Dad had a hand start A with a 226 picker first, then a couple of 60s with 227 pickers. Before that he had a single row JD, think it was a 101 or something like that, on a B.

We used that all the time because the 1940 A had a Behlen 5th/6th gears and that did not leave room for your fingers. Same thing was used with the crank extention gene mentioned.
