Farmall Corn Pickers
for Utmost Speed and
Eeonomy in Corn Harvest
yROM the broiling days of grain harvest (preceding
page) to corn-picking time is quite a jump. For the
man who has to husk his corn an ear at a time it's a
jump that may keep him in the cornfield till icicles freeze
on his eyebrows and whiskers, and his cold fingers are
almost as stiff as the ears he throws at the bang board.
Picking corn by hand is a
slow, hard method, and expensive.
Of the many who still
pick with a shuckin' peg, who
would think of going back
to the scythe - and - cradle
method of harvesting grain?
Farmall corn pickers make
corn harvest a matter of days
instead of weeks. One man
with a Farmall one-row will
husk 8 to 10 acres a day ; with
a two-row a man and one or
more haulers, according to the
yield and the length of the
haul, can husk and crib 16 to
18 acres a day. A Farmall

corn pickers are also made
in the pull-type in both
one and two-row. They
are equipped with the
same gathering, snapping,
and husking units as the
Farmall pickers. One advantage
of the pull-type
picker is the ease with
which it is connected to or
disconnected from the
tractor. Additional information

by a McCormick-Deering
dealer, or you can mark

picker will actually get more corn from a
given field than the average hand husker
and husk it just as clean or cleaner. It
gets the down and leaning stalks and it
gets the nubbins. Far less help is needed
and that pleases the housewife.
The one-row tank-type picker provides
a compact, one-man outfit with
which the corn can be dropped into
truck, wagon, or crib at the end of the
field. One additional advantage of the
two-row is that it can be started anywhere
in the field the operator wants to
start without the necessity of first picking
out the opening rows by hand. Another
advantage of the two-row is the
fact that the wagon can be pulled behind
the tractor without side draft.
Farmall pickers are built with large
and efficient snapping rolls. The husking
rolls are so designed that they turn
the ears over, allowing the pegs to loosen the
shucks so that the smooth parts of the rolls will
take hold and pull the shucks off the ears.
