<<It was a cotton picker that is a basically a large machine built on a John Deere tractor that is driven in reverse (the two large tires of the tractor are on the front end of the cotton picker). The model I drove picked two rows, and the newer models pick four or more rows at a time. Would make turning into the rows a lot trickier, I would imagine, but with a big increase in productivity.>> Ok, you drove a 2 row picker, probably a newer model at the time. It wasn't in reverse, the steering wheels are in back so you could make sharper turns, same as today. It turns the same as a boat. 2 row. New ones today are 24 row pickers. Corn and cotton are close but they need different heads and crusher settings. I saw an old picker at an auction, one row corn picker that ran off the PTO from the tractor pulling it. No pickers now, all combines, doesn't just pick the grain but shucks it and takes it off the cob.
