[AT] 2 row corn picker

[Gene Dotson]

    in 1951 my dad bought a new Farmall M and 2 me picker. That was big time 
at this time in farming. Dad did a lot of custom work with this pair. 
Remember one New Years eve when  a neighbor had some corn to finish up and 
was a hard snow storm forecast for the next day. Farmer could not get any 
more wagons unloaded that night and told dad he would have to quit when he 
had them all full. Dad told him to check with neighbors and see how many 
wagons he could borrow. Dad finished about 2:00am, just as the snow was 
starting. Next day there were 13 wagon loads of corn sitting in the field 
covered with a foot of snow. Farmer was very happy.

Subject: [AT] 2 row corn picker

The internet and Facebook in particular is a dangerous thing.  Last
winter someone posted an ad for an IH 2MH corn picker--a two row,
mounted picker for a Farmall M or similar.  I've always wanted one and
I just couldn't help myself so last week I took off to Union Grove, WI
to take in the national Red Power Roundup, and then took off that
afternoon to Manawa, WI to get my picker.  After taking the center
snoot off it fit like a glove on my trailer.  I got up early the next
morning and was home by 10PM--an uneventful LONG drive I don't intend
to do anytime soon!

The picker looks good.  A little weathered from setting out for a year
but it's pretty much all there.  Now I have to find a good M or Super
M to put it on.....
