  Here is a another pic of a earlier model Hesston stripper. It dumped from the front instead of the side. It didn't go over too well because once you raised the basket you couldn't pull forward or back to help spread the cotton in the trailer or module builder.

 

 

Thats quite the exhaust modification on the Oliver. 

I checked through my Case, John Deere and IH catalogues and could not see any sign of cotton harvest equipment. I was surprised to find IH offered beet harvesting equipment like this in 1964.

I didn't know that IH built any kind of beet harvesters until I saw some of their 1/64th toys couple years ago...lol  Here is a ad for a MM stripper. I remember seeing of these back when I was a kid. Our neighbor was a MM user and if I remember right, his father-in-law was the MM dealer in Lubbock, Tx at the time.

Moline's colors sure made for eye catching advertisements.

Everyone needs to read the printed segment of that advertisement- - - - headed: your land is your best friend.

No truer words could be spoken- - - - - seems some tend to forget the basics in our fast spinning world of today.

Gotta hang that on my wall.

This is a ad for 1974 A-C cotton strippers. I don't remember seeing very many A-C's in this area...tractors or equipment. But then again just about every farm had one of those A-C All Crop combines on the place somewhere.

Very true Anson. And that type ad seemed to be a theme with MM in those years as I have seen many like it. This one from 1954 features Dr. Angus McKay who started the Indian Head Experimental farm here in Sask. way back in the 1880s.

Man that 806LP and stripper sure brings back some memories! Thanks for re-posting it. A rig just like that is what my Dad used for the last two years of farming before he retired.  Those 706 ads show the difference between the model #22 and model #30 strippers. Mostly in the headers but also you can see the green boll catcher under the elevator on the #30 that the #21 and #22 don't have.

This is one of my favorite stripper ads, with a 560 LP.

     The 422 diesel was, imho, the most bullet proof two row picker of the time.

           It came out Later sixties - Early seventies  had lots of improvements .

      I dearly coveted one but my Dad passed in 1967 and I could not afford paying the sales tax much less the picker.

         So I learned to keep the old 220 going along with a couple of aging single rows. 

           Kept the red side mounted tool box on my pick-up relevant. lol.

Here's a little info, to go with it.  BK

     Sure love the look of that 806 L.P. on the stripper. 

          You know , Twostepin , I have a 806 single front ,bolster ,fork ,wheel sitting on a pallet. looking for a good use.  HUMM.

           Really, I seriously considered making my 806 L.P. restoration a single wheel front.  

            We farmers thought we were changing the world with those Rippers also, in second pic., Actually we were .

        However, I know where there is a 806 diesel single front in a barn with a hydraulic bean cutter on it.

          I offered to house & display it for him . He agreed and is saving it as is. Now I just need to get caught up and build more shed. lol.

Interesting to see that IH did produce cotton harvesters. I guess they saw no point in advertising them this far North. I have not seen any ads here. 

Minneapolis Moline offered their sensational new "Z" tractor in this black and white ad from 1938. I think they sold well in Canada.
