I did both mounted and pull behind and ease of operation for the mounted picker was a big plus. We had a one row mounted on a 200 and I could remove the 2 point assembly and mount the picker in an afternoon after school. To reverse the operation took about the same amount of time. My dad and uncle started with a one row pull behind doing custom corn picking. After one year the pull behind was traded for a one row mounted picker on a C (we still have the picker). Because of the one row we had an issue opening fields. I tended to knock down a row and "pick it back wards" to recover some of the corn and the rest the cows got forging the fields. My dad would often hand pick the opening row moving up the picker when it was too far to carry his bag of corn. For relatively short rows common in my part of the country there was no comparison in operation efficiency. My Brother in law had long rows (almost a full mile) and never owned a mounted picker. I do not recall heat being a problem unless care was not taken to keep the radiator clear and all the shields and screens in place. It was a little dusty but picking corn with a mounted picker was probably my favorite farm task. As far as ensilage was concerned, enough was cut to fill the pit or silo which was a fraction of the total crop and usualy only the dairy farmers did even that. All the corn had to be picked so it made sense that a more efficient machine would be needed.
