Minneapolis-Moline pull-type corn picker
Minneapolis-Moline produced pull-type corn pickers; in 1947 inventor John Eyestone combined two MM pull-type corn pickers with an MM sheller on a surplus amphibious vehicle frame to build what is cited as the world’s first 4-row self-propelled picker-sheller, documenting the existence of MM’s pull-type picker and sheller components.
