Texas/New Mexico Stateline | We've got some old pictures and old home movies of my dad and brother running their first IH stripper like you are describing. Dad driving and uncle forking in the trailer. That was in the very early 70s. One neighbor bought a brand new IH tractor mount about that time and told my dad, "That ought to be the biggest stripper I will ever need."
They used that same system until the late 70s when they bought a new Hesston tractor mount with the basket on top. My uncle actually used that stripper right up until the early 2000s when the tractor finally wore out. I can't imagine how much cotton that thing stripped. |
