Cotton Incorporated Releases Harvesting, Picker Maintenance Videos
August 29, 2011 Cotton Incorporated has posted four recently-completed videos in the Cotton Harvest Systems section of its website (cottoninc.com) related to cotton harvesting and maintenance of picker harvesters.
The first video covers the three current seed-cotton storage and handling systems: the traditional system using boll buggies and module builders, and two on new on-board module-building pickers from Case IH and John Deere.
The remaining three videos deal with spindle-type cotton harvesters/preseason maintenance procedures. Specifically, 1) proper row unit tilt positions of front and rear spindles; 2) maintenance of spindles and spindle bushings, and, 3) bar height and condition.
“These videos provide a way to communicate some complex tasks in a short amount of time and they also are allowing us a unique way to capture the knowledge of experts such as Herb Willcutt, who recently retired from Mississippi State University,” said Dr. Ed Barnes, Director, Agricultural Research, Cotton Incorporated.
