My daddies cotton picker will show that thing how to pick cotton

The PTO on that module builder looks like it is ready to tear your fucking leg of if you get too close with your nice cotton-jeans.

BTP, was this around Senath MO?
-
Nothing like some(looks like a mexican)douche bag yelling orders out to guys that already know how to do the job.

interesting

I've never been in a cotton field, never been on a cotton picker of any kind. So, excuse my ignorance on how the picker works. One shot/discussion shows spinning rollers, vertical, just inside the header. What happens after that point? You said the machine is powered by a 365hp engine. What is the power demand? Why such large hp engine? Yes, the machine looks heavy to move through the field, but there must be something inside the machine that requires lots of power to drive. Any thoughts on the hp requirements?

As a southern boy I love this process I rode in a jd 7760 self baling picker I thought that was very fun love your videos as well

Great video, very interesting. Love the 1066 !!

Nothing like the smell of fresh picked cotton! Makes me think back to my childhood playing in the cotton wagons (back before these module builders) Us kids thought we were playing but we were really packing the cotton down, a very important part of the operation. Thanks for posting this one.

looks like the cotton picking machine does a good job 😃

These Case basket pickers were sweet. However when John Deere developed their new round module system they are second to none, however I still think a Case picker picks a cleaner row. If you look at a Case header it's twice as wide because there 2 sets of picking spindles in them John Deere still runs one set. Meaning when you run a stalk through a John Deere header it's only picking from one side of the stalk, Case has two sets staggered on each side and the stalk gets picked from both sides. John Deere defiantly has a better picker now, but I still think a Case picks a row cleaner if the operator maintains the heads right.

This is very educational for me and I really enjoy watching this. Your presentation and the details you describe is very good.

BTP most people who don't work around cotton don't realize how dangerous it can be. I know of two farm workers who burnt to death inside one of those module builders in separate incidents. They were working on the packing bridge inside the builder. Cotton burns with an almost invisible flame kind of like alcohol. They did not see the fire and were engulfed in the flames and died from the burns. They could not climb out fast enough. After it burns for awhile it creates smoke but not at first. Most of the time the fire starts from sparks from inside the module tractors exhaust getting in the cotton but one of those who died was conducting some kind of maintenance.

Hey I'm from Plainview Tx just 40 miles north of Lubbock. We use 3 of those Big 12 modules builders, on a good day without breaking down we can build up to 18 modules a day.

I don't get to see this up here obviously,so this is fascinating to watch as a northerner.

Looks very wasteful to me, then tarp it except the bottom which is in the dirt. Don't know much about cotton but looks like there is room for improvement .

Excellent video, - from someone who never has, or, ever will see a field of cotton picked. - Sometimes I wonder whether the 'old' methods of picking that were so time consuming in labour, compared to the 'new' considering the amount of wastage their appears to be especially when you look at how much is left on the plant as well. Although I agree the new JD that 'bales' it into rolls looks better and less wasteful once it is picked, but the cost of these machines is colossal, - half a million dollars plus for a machine that sits idle for eleven and a half months of the year and that's only the 'picker'. - Still I suppose that's an argument that can be used for quite a lot of farm machinery.
