My Uncle Ben had a two row that he mounted on an M Farmall. He wasn't a very big man and with no power steering, it must have been a chore to steer that thing with all that weight on it.

I remember shucking corn with my Dad and a team of horses when I was very young. Shuck and throw into the wagon until it needed to be moved, then call for the horses to move forward. Unloading was by scoop shovel.

Then we got a one row Woods Brothers corn picker. Pulled it with a 1950 8N at first then later a 1950 B John Deere with the "corn picker gear". I still don't know how that little 8N did it. They were not very powerful and were not geared very low. Still unloaded by shovel.
