My uncle had a 2ME mounted on a Super MTA. I helped him one year(1961) and because the fall was real wet he decided to wait until the ground froze to finish the corn picking,(bad....real bad mistake). The %&$*%#@ ground never froze solid enough to hold up the tractor/picker going up the red clay hills and we got stuck or nearly stuck several times, the LAST time real bad. A tractor/picker stuck in the middle of a corn field going up a sidehill opening up a new land is HORRIBLE! We pulled the nearly full wagon of ear corn out backwards okay with uncle's W6 and never knocked down any corn, BUT the tractor/picker was another story, We knocked down about 8 rows of corn before we got it out and it was mud underneath it from he!! to breakfast. "SOB'in' thing was really stuck on this red clay sidehill. We handpicked corn off the knocked down and "unpickable" stalks for 6 hours. and spent a day cleaning up and fixing up the tractor/picker. Uncle picked some more corn in various fields but it never did freeze hard enough to risk trying to pick it all and he waited until the ground dried up enough in the following spring, then put the picker back on the tractor and picked the rest.
