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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostepn2001 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 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.

lightninboy Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 IH had beet harvesting equipment in the catalog until 1968 or 1970 or so. Case may have had cotton harvesting equipment already in the 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Got no beet harvestesrs or cottonpickers today but I did find this Minneapolis Moline ad from 1947 showing an old Mini harvesting some tall corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Dirt Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 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.

twostepn2001 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/mackay_angus_1840-1931.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twostepn2001 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 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.

Tonyinca Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 18 hours ago, Brady Boy said: 1966 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.

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. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 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.
