G'day Guys, Iain from AUSTRALIA. I grow a few acres of corn each year and currently hand pick it to run through my thresher. I have not seen any pickers for tractor mounting however... A comb that narrowed on a horizontal plane to leave a space between for the stalk (just enough space to move without binding)- It would then rise up on an angle where by the comb would seem to rise up the plant as the tractor proceeds forward and eventually hit the cob. As the cob is much larger and cannot fit through - it breaks off and is left sitting in the. I guess eventually then a conveyer would move this towards the back to a bin. WOuld the picking mechanism work do you think? Or just pull the plants out of the ground? Even something that just brok the cobs of the plants allowing me to hand transfer them to a bin whilst someone drive would be fine. Appreciate any thoughts.... would be run on a TEA20 Kind Regards, Iain.
