Case IH CPX620 Cotton Picker

[ronaldpiper]

There are men that were boys that like farm equipment. Thank you for bringing this interesting stuff to us. I still remember a long time ago when caterpillar challenger was new on market. I was at that farm progress show. She looked good. And it started to rain. It was the trac and the mud globes. In wet field. O it was new and would go out and around all other tillage. Was the talk of Peoria, il

Brilliant, beautiful, clever machinery . And the operators obviously work together constantly, a gesture or a yell .
Great video 👍🇬🇧

Freshly picked and Ginned Cotton has an incredible and wonderful aroma.

I farm cotton in greenwood just east of midland tx with my uncle, its glad to see that some youtubers care about cotton farming.

I personally worked on the case bale model cotton harvester when it first was developed in 2006-2007 it would've been a great machine that would've been able to compete toe to toe with the John deere bale harvesting model but, it had its flaws . The square bales came out soft and wouldn't hold their shape . Another flaw was the bales weren't wrapped and required tarpping to keep them dry . Had CNH figured out in the early stages of a good way to make the bales keep their compaction they'd be out in the fields today . That along with cotton production going way down in the last few years in the United States didn't give CNH an incentive to continue building and developing new cotton harvesters . The cotton era in the United states will slowly cease to exist

Nice to see a red picker running - this is a far cry from the 782s I worked on 40 years ago. So much has changed and I guess that is a good thing

Your vids make me miss the farming days. Spent many cold nights sitting on a module builder here in Australia. Keep them coming mate.

I've never done my tarps that way. We had squeeze clamps on the tailgate, that were connected with a section of roller chain. We would roll the edge of the tarp under, then clamp it. Raise the gate, drive forward. Once the builder was clear, lower the gate, pull down the corners, and cinch the strap. 2 people could pull off, and have the tarp cinched down in about 2 minutes

I've always admired and respected the farmer.

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.

If that's his lunch box in the cab he'll be able to keep working for months!

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.

I’m a cotton farmer and we never put the tarps on like that we always had someone stand on the gate with the tarp and lifted the gate with them on it then when we moved the module builder the tarp would be easily put on the module

[twinturbo]

From a British farmer that never felt with cotton this is awesome 👍

[caseman]

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

[doughuss]

There putting that tarp on the hard way LOL We roll our tarp on the ground behind the builder tie it to the gate when it opens and you pull off the tarp pulls up and over the cotton until its covered then the twine breaks then just center the tarp and your done .

Depending on the location, type of Cotton and harvesting method. Cotton that is irrigated generally produces quite a bit more then dry land cotton therefore the irrigated cotton will be picked two or maybe even three times and followed by a "ROOD" machine that pics up the loose cotton that has fallen off or been knocked off the Cotton plant.

After watching your JD video it’s way better harvesting than the IH by far
