I would go with a higher HP tractor, maybe 75+hp. When you get your wagon full and going up a hill you are going to be dragging a lot of weight. Also, bear in mind that corn pickers were designed for 60-80 bu/acre corn. If your corn is 150-175bu acre you will be crawling along because the picker will not be able to handle it all fast. When I picked corn with a 30 inch row picker, the bottle neck was the elevator between the rows, it could not pull the ears up fast enough. Also, there is alot of stalks going through the rollers, they can break if loaded too much. You will not be able to go slow enough with an H or M, you will need a tractor with slower speeds, something with a TA and live PTO. I used a 1066 or a belarus 825. The best picking moisture is 18-20%, anything dryer will shell off in the field. Wetter will work good if you have a crib that will dry it.
