Yup... drove em', but not for long.

When I retired we were using 4 row pickers. Funny thing... the best 4 row picker we owned was an IH.... at least as far as fewest breakdowns, but we owned only one of them, the rest JD's.

I remember our foreman teaching me how to mount the picker to our tractors. I can remember being amazed at how advanced tech was to be able to do that.

I know of a few that still exist in old farm equipment graveyards... now at gray and rusted as I am.
