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).

Here's a picture of a current model, complete with an air-conditioned driver's cab ...

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.
