Camp Douglas Wi. 40miles nw of wi. dells | Dad had me operating equipment very young, when I was 13 was picking corn with mounted 33 on WC Allis Chalmers, not only did it leave a yellow trail across the field didn’t husk worth a sh!t either, that was the worst mounted that I run.
Then Dad bought mounted 425 on 630 Case that had seen better days.
Then Dad and I bought JD 227 with elavater and sheller mounted it on 730 Case, ran that for 2 years.
Than bought New Idea 319 with 12 row husking bed and sheller mounted on 730 Case, that was the best mounted picker I ran. Run that outfit until we bought combine in 1980.
Neighbors ran 234 mounted on 706, that didn’t shell as much as 319 but didn’t take husk off as good as 319.
In my eyes the perfect mounted picker would be IH 234 pulling ears of the stalks and New Idea 12 row husking bed strap on the back.
