Ford 601-602 mounted pickers were some of the best pickers make, the snapping rolls are at an angle so that as soon as the ear was snapped off it would drop into the first elevator taking it up to the husking bed or cross conveyor.
On pickers with flat snapping rolls the ear are being shelled as they travel up the rolls.
Down side to mounted pickers is they're a pain to hookup and the tractor is dedicated until your done picking.
We have 2 601's, one with husking bed, one without.
We pick corn on the ear and grind it for cattle feed in our Gehl 95 grinder mixer .

Most of what shells off in my 601's goes into the wagon anyway but this year I'm going to talk to my seed dealer about a more picker friendly variety.
Dump wagons work better for ear corn than gravity beds.
