Havent picked in the ear for forty years and I dont miss it. Now that I have that off my chest (wink) dad used a Minneapolis two row pull type picker he bought new in 1949 and used it all through the fifties and sixties. He pulled it with a Deere A and the wagons were pulled in with the neighbors SC Case. We had a Stanhoist wagon lift that lifted the wagon to dump it until a wagon rolled off the front of the lift and darned near pinned dad against the back of the tractor. After that dad had hydraulic hoists installed on the wagons. A 1935 Deere A was belted to the elevator. In 1960 a brand new 630 Deere pulled the picker and the A pulled wagons in along with the SC. In 1969 Dad bought a used 227 Deere mounted picker to put on the 630. It took a day and a half to mount and a day and a half to dismount the picker from the tractor. That combination lasted about 10 years. The last year of picking we hired a guy with a New Idea Uni with a 6 row head. Boy was it hard to keep up hauling away from him! Today around these parts no one picks in the ear except for our local threshing show.
