I collect antique tractors and equipment. My oldest tractor is a Case L from 1930. My newest are a 1965 JD 5020 and a MM G1000 diesel. I especially like to collect old harvesting equipment; two threshers, two shredders, two silo fillers and six corn pickers, all in working condition. I especially like to demonstrate the machines and share with the public.

Minneapolis Moline Corn Picking

This corn picking video replicates corn-belt harvesting in the 1940s and '50s. This was pretty much state-of-the-art for the times. The picker is a 2-row pull type Minneapolis-Moline model RH, made in 1951. When it was made, 60bu corn was considered pretty good. Farmers wanted husk-free corn to store in their corn cribs. So, it has a 12 roll husking bed. Cobs come out quite clean, but it shells...

I’m restore mine can’t wait
Good luck👍 Get a parts book if you don’t have one. A few parts available through AGCO.
Great combine I got me Oliver pull type combine model 18
Glad to see a few of these Olivers still around. The one I used as a teen is still out in the timber at the home place, sad shape now. Was a real decent machine back in the day. Wouldn't mind finding a useable one today.
It takes dedicated shed space to preserve the old iron👍
We had the exact same machine when I was a kid. Was a good machine, not too great in soybeans. The elevator would choke up with mud, while trying to cut low enough to get most of the plant. The remains of the thing is out in the timber at the home place. Would love to fin d another one in decent shape.
Good thing we’re just doing it for fun😜👍
It should fit on a car hauler. The axel width is less than most pickers. Sold mine to a friend.
Thanks!
What is the overall width and length of the picker. I am wondering what kindof trailer would be needed to buy and transport one.
Fits on a car hauler. Sold mine to a friend.
Good video. I ran one when I was a kid in the 1970s and this video instantly brought back the smell of ragweed.
Some memories are better than others😂😂👍
@@muskegoboy That's funny.
Thanks for your video
Thanks for watching👍
With an oxe to tread out the grain, you can thresh grain without fossil fuels. Then, if you have a good windy day, you can separate the wheat from the chaff with a few women tossing the grain up in the air to allow the chaff to be blown away.
As a kid, I didn’t look forward to Saturday shredding in December; now we do it for fun. But the cows, loved chewing through the stalls, which then became bedding. Thanks for watching👍
Unbelievable how much work modern equipment has saved for a man
wow is that ever nice!
Thanks👍
Thanks for your video
They must have made a good many of those little Oliver combines, I have one here in the shed that some one modified heavily for soybeans. Also the remains of one the folks had at home is still around, so it must have been a good seller in it's time.
Thanks, They were highly rated in their day.
I grew on a small dairy farm about 35 miles west of Chicago in the '50s. Dad's two brothers had mounted pickers on a Farmall 400 and a 450. I hauled loads from the field to the crib with an Allis WD-45. Dad would excuse me from school one day during harvest; I was in heaven back then. Thanks for the Minnie show; sure is some nice running old equipment.
Thanks Glad it brought back good memories👍
Beautiful
Thanks
This brings back memories. My dad pulled one of these monstrosities behind a John Deere model G. The thing was loud as heck. It took a bit of effort to grease it before use. If I recall correctly, the thing used these flat link chains internally that would always break. It was a mechanical disaster. And of course we've all heard stories about people losing limbs in these things. One final thought is that these machines would drop quite a lot of seed on the ground as well as the occasional whole cob. So you'd be guaranteed much volunteer corn the following spring.
I agree. It shells more than the other pickers in my collection. The problem with this older design, seems to be the inability to close the snapping rolls close enough together. The later MMs had an additional turnbuckle, to close the gap even closer. Of course modern hybrids are engineered to be easy shelling with thinner stalks, also making corn picking less efficient. I really haven’t broken any chains, but I only pick a few acres, using several different machines. Thanks for the comments👍
Holy moses...turn the darn pto off when cleaning out stalks and leaves. To make matters worse he is wearing heavy gloves! I knew way too many neighbors who lost body parts and worse this way back in the day!!!
👍
Thank you! I'm using this at my next Homesteaders meeting at Purdue
I had a uncle that owned 1. Shredded alot of corn.
Yes my dad was around 1 too. If got crowded it would plug in the elevater.
Things are so different today, and very seldom for the better.
Small family farms, love it.
Thanks👍
Awsome i feel at home i have a 510 massie!
a farmer friend had a SMTA with an older ihc mounted two row he traded them for a 560gas with a ihc 2 row pull type picker in 63 he was very disappointed with the 560 it did not have enough power to pull the semi mounted 4-14 plow it was advertised it would pull and it barely handled the 3-16 plow he used behind the SMTA and used 1/3rd more fuel. he nick named the 560 as the gutless wonder
i love the tractor, but i think the cabs on those older tractor RUINS the iconic look of it.... i do like the way its throwing the dirt into the next field with the plow! raw power!
Wanted a cab tractor to mitigate the freezing WI fall plowing season. Friend of mine calls it a “house”. Big enough to stand up in and walk around. But, extremely warm in late spring. Always noisy; must wear hearing protection. Served its intended purpose very well.👍
I spent many happy hours riding in gravity wagon behind an IH 2 row picker and 460 diesel. Ahhh... the good ol days.
Amazing, when you think that these machines were designed for 50-60 bushels and acre, and, still work well with modern hybrids and fertlizer. i would bet that corn is well over a 100 bushels to the acre.
Keith Kuckler Can’t get the snapping rolls close enough to minimize shelling in high population corn with thin stalks. This picker was made for thicker stalks. My other pickers, IH and New Idea, adjust closer to reduce shelling somewhat. Thanks!
A G Moline is way overkill for a two row picker they like their gas for sure .. a Z or U would be plenty of tractor
could you move up to a 6 bottom in corn stubble?
probably, but could have traction issues on hills
Hermoso!!!
I grew up driving jd.s 3020 5020 7520 8880 best days of childhood
Had an older model - just wrote a short story about it.
Beats the heck out of hand picking which we did up to the 70's. Always had a few acres for grinding corn w a hammer mill. Cow and hogs ate it all
haha, I go to this show every year! And that's interesting you mention Jaekel there...their family sure has a nice farm scrap yard there near Hebron/Jefferson. Got me a set of combine wheels and tires there just recently. Great place.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll see ya around some of the southern WI tractor shows. Hoping for some new videos this season! Maybe some field prep and planting? Ben
Thanks
Friggin' neat. I'm just up the ways northwest of you in Oconomowoc area.
does he plow his wife that fast?
Can't get enough of your videos! Love the old equipment. I go to Rock River Thresheree every year, and Ixonia Tractor show by my house. Sussex show often times and Pioneer Village in Saukville. Fall Harvest Days is one that I have been wanting to get to but always seem to miss each year due to work. Gotta make it out there one of these times.
I know i've commented on a few of your videos now...lol but keep em coming!!! Old school, local farming, so awesome.
SUBSCRIBED! Awesome. I'm in western Summit, WI (near Concord) myself. I would LOVE to get me a Oliver combine like that to pull with my 550! Droooolllllllingggggggggg.
Friggin' sweet! I'm only a few minutes north of you in the way western edge of Summit, WI (Oconomowoc). Right on the edge of Jefferson County. Go through Muskego and Waterford quite often heading to a buddy's place in Norway. You guys near HWY 164 or Racine Ave?
Benjamin Turner Hy 20, west of Waterford
Nope. Just this short clip. Maybe next summer. Thanks
Some videos of this combine and of the 4166 at work?
We had an old co op picker when I was a kid. It was also a left hand picker. Don't see many of them
Very few sold in our area. Weak dealer network. Wood Bros was most popular. It worked well (for the yields of its time} and was relatively inexpensive. Mostly small dairy farms in our area.
Please keep kids safe
5020's were one hell of a good tractor...
They were really dogs compared to others in that era. They weighed 18,000# and only put out 130 to 150 hp unless the farmer put a turbo kit on but then the engine could or would blow if you actually put the addition hp to use like pulling a 7 or 8 bottom plow and a certain shaft in the drive train could fail too. They were big and the wheatland areas had them but in my area their were more D21s or 220s Allis or 1456 IH and surprisingly 2255 Ollies. The 6030's at least more closely matched the hp to weight but they were still too heavy and were known as dogs back in their day. Our neighbor had a 6030 and he said it was a big slow fuel guzzling pig. But collectors are hot after them now............Out of the factory a D21 could work circles around a 5020.
