My dad picked corn with a #24 picker for years in So Dak. We lived near the Missouri river and the wild ducks loved him. That thing shelled a lot of the corn off the ear and like others said, it picked clean in the morning and more husks in the drier afternoon. We had it mounted on a Super H. We always left the spindles on the front wheels which caused a problem with the outside bearings needing more grease which we didn't alway do enough of. There were some interesting mechanisms as to how the corn picker was lifted up and how the middle nose cone lifted with the picker. The picker was driven by the belt pulley with a roller chain adapter mounted on it. It was like all the mounted corn pickers of those days, impossible to operate in a wet field. The front wheels would ball up and you just couldn't go. Then in the fall the mud would freeze at night and you really had problems. My dad would never let us kids run the corn picker as he was afraid we would loose some body parts with all the dangerous in running rollers and such. We always had to haul the corn. He would let us run the combine, but not the corn picker. Roger
