Growing up grandpa had one of us grandkids ride in the gravity box to level the corn so he could get more on each load so it was fewer trips hauling the corn on the road. Sure miss him every day.
We used to plant black eyed peas every year and didn't always have an excess of seed. So I used to go back and forth between the planter hoppers raking seed into the moving parts to keep an even stand. Sonetimes I would ride the planter itself while daddy drove the tractor
We used to grow strawberries up to 1/3 of an acre until the blood labor grew up and left. To make strawberry rows you had to ridge the ground and shape the row. We had a sheet of flat steel shaped like a saddle with two hooks on it for tying ropes for towing and hanging on. Daddy would tow me on the saddle and i would move the saddle from row to row. It was a fun job much more than laying strawberry plastic the hard way.
Man i just seen one of these on my local craiglist! I wanted to get it badly! But I'd be more suited for the 2 row New Idea really. But man it was tempting! lol Super neat.
when I was a kid, a lot of the older farmers I knew were hard of hearing from operating older open station equipment. Now they put straight pipes on them to make them louder.
A 1206 is a turboed 806, I ran a 806 with a muffler for a neighbor really made my ears ring all night and wake up with a ring. He also had a 1066 straight pipe it didn't wrak my hearing as bad. Oh yah that 806 smoked like it burned tires
@@flyingled3176it’s not all the same. They only had the same engine but turboed. The bull gear was bigger, the transmission housing and the gears were stronger so they didn’t blow apart, because keep in mind this is construction equipment grade turbo like what’s on they’re massive trucks and dozers Ih built thats on the 1206 so it creates a lot of torque, and the tires were especially different. They are specially made tires because the original ones peeled off the bead during testing.
A very good video. Its too bad that IH didn't remain being their own company. Today with Case IH, their tractors are all painted black on the chassis, which I don't really care for. If oil leaks somewhere on the chassis your not gonna notice it right away.
To you Rickie McKillip, you are 100% correct, and I mean that truthfully. When I made my comment I forgot that the top management at IH messed things up for the company in the early 80s--at least from what Ive been told. On top of that Case was really not able to compete on equal footing with John Deere.At any rate Case IH puts out darn good machinery.
Depending on the attachment, some just harvest the ears whole. Some have a sheller attachment on them, too shell also. Our machine just picked the cobs.
Born to shovel: The NI’s don’t lose much corn . The corn needs to be dry and hard and snapping rolls need to be adjusted properly. Loose kernels are captured farther down the process and sent up the elevator. Go slow on the turns and you won’t lose any. 1:25
What a great looking pair. Love to hear that turbo spool up on your 1206. Red Power forever!
Bet you can fill the wagons pretty quick with that rig. Thanks for sharing!

IH is the king of the farm IMO! If it ain't red, just go ahead and leave er' in the shed! Only exception is Meadow Green Olivers.
Oliver and IH are good tractors.
allis chalmers:*crys*
Love the 1206 and new idea made some nice equipment
Cant bleive anyone would thumb down this. Even if you dont like red. All the old machines are great to see working!!!!!!!!
love the way those ears are just rolling out of the elevator in a constant stream.
tim h quicker than a modern day seed picker

Nice tractor, & nice 3 row picker
It’s a cool classic combo for sure.
@@bigtractorpower does this picker shell the ears or just break up the cobs into small pieces with corn on them?

Awesome picker. Thanks
It is a cool New Idea.
big time harvesting in it's day
Three row new idea was very rare

Used to have a 3 row. Cobs really fly
Very cool. Monster picker.
Does this machine break up ears with corn on them and provide loose grain, or does it shell all the ears?
Depending on the attachment, some just harvest the ears whole. Some have a sheller attachment on them, too shell also. Our machine just picked the cobs.
@@gregverhasselt8357 thanks. I assume they were husked?
@@jamesbreithaupt5138 simple but excellent husking attachment on them. I believe it could be disengaged
That a little bugger she's a lookin good.
dang, that guy's a *monster!*
3 rows was a monster in pull type corn picking. It’s always neat to see this one.

👍👍
Supper Nice
don't see stubble like that more.we would walk the fields and pick up missed ears.
+Dan Van Hoose I removed seeing many of these one and two row pickers at work. It is a rare sight to see one in the field today.
PTO-powered corn!
Did new idea actually make a three row?
+Bradley'sCoFarm yes they did. There is sales literature that features it on the cover from New Idea.
Yep my grandfather had one for years, we used it up until about 4 years ago.
Nice turbo whine.
this machine work on sweet corn too? thanks
no, husking bed to aggressive. No even seed corn.
@@davevonmuenster6649 oh really 😏 not even for seed corn ?
What would be the 2 row model like this?
From 1972-1982 New Idea offered a 1, 2 and 3 row picker. The 2 row was the most common seller.
The 325.
You could probably get a lot done if you had 20 of those.
If It Ain't RED It Stays In The SHED

Those old pickers lose a lot of corn
