I was a small tyke when we still were picking corn with a mounted corn picker in the early 1970's. We had a New Idea mounted on a 450 Farmall, and we also had a sheller unit available to attach to the picker, too. The fall ritual of removing the dual wheel narrow front from the 450 and replacing it with a large, single wheel was something I can barely remember. We shelled high moisture corn to be rolled and put into the silo for feeding cattle, and then we switched over to picking ear corn. The "trickle" of shell corn coming out the sheller unit was disheartening to see, especially when we made the move to 30 inch rows and bought a combine for harvesting BOTH soybeans and corn. The operator of the combine was able to sit in a cab with heat, while not gagging in the dust and debris generated by the mounted picker.
New Idea was pretty prevalent in our area in SW Minnesota, due to the dealership, when it came to pickers. Combines were mostly Massey Ferguson in those days, with a fair number of IH combines. As far as balers go, mostly New Holland and John Deere.

Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
