Subject: RE: Picking corn


southeastern Indiana
Looks like a model 33 snapper picker. I started farming in 1982 with an outfit exactly like that. I bought it out of a fencerow for $200. Took the picker off and threw it away. Sideshields and front screen, too. Wish I had them back. Rented 107 ac repo ground from FMHA. Bought a Allis 4 row500 unit planter for $50. Bought a 2 bottom plow for $100 in the southern part of the state. Went to work. Harvested with a $1200 JD 45 square back. Seems like a long time ago. Survived the 80s and 90s. Restored the tractor in 91. Still have it. Needs overhauled and painted again. Thanks for the memory jog!
