...The JOHN OEEflE No.200Two-Now, Pull Type Corn Picker
Here's the only corn picker that's com
pletely successful in contoured corn and
it's just as good on fhe straightaway—the
John Deere No. 200 Two-Row, Pull-Type
Com Picker. The close-coupled hitch of the
No. 200 permits the wagon to hug the picker
on turns, with the wagon elevator staying
over the wagon at all times. Famous John
Deere construction of long, gently-sloping
gatherers, low-down gatherer chains, ground- ^
hugging snapping rolls, and big-capacity
husking rolls assures more corn saved and
better husking.
The lightweight No. 200 weighs 700 to
1,000 pounds lighter than other two-row,
pull-type pickers, yet it has plenty of strength
in its rugged construction. See us for com
plete details. Come in soon.
