We had a #24 back in the day that we ran on an "H". It didn't do a very good job of getting the husks off the ears. We put corn up in round Behlen wire cribs that held 2,000 bu of ear corn each. I can remember several times have to use dynamite to break the corn loose, corn rakes or a power rake would just bounce off the ears.
Maybe the 24 had a little more capacity than the #20. Back then we raised a lot of 140 - 150 bpa corn and I even have some plaques & newspaper articles where we had 175 bpa corn a couple times. Pretty much unheard of back then. The old H & #24 handled it but the going was slow, usually 1st gear. In l;ighter corn we could run in 2nd gear.
After the #24 we ran a 2MH on a SM for a couple years before going to shelling corn with a combine in the mid '60s. There was a lot of difference in what the 2MH would do compared to the #24. Though I never did like sitting down in between all those fast moving chains on the 2MH and all the dirt & dust. With the #24 you sit up above most everything.
