ROAD MACHINERY COMPANY 430 Moolmf St. Wost O^nmkih* S* C. county, 8. C. Shelley has been working on this] machine since 1941. He tried out hto first machine In the taU of 1947 on the 1,000-acre farm of J. D. .Cole man hi Dillon county, S. C. The farm to located five milec frmn Lattp on the JtoiuiettavUle, highway. The resulta of the first' nuehtnel wbre very satisfactory and Mr. dolman gave It hto approval, bat| Shelley saw the need ot some im provements and adjustments. 8o he I Immediately went to work oa pro-1 ’ducing another cotton picker, mod-1 If he desires, he may obtain the eled In principle after first marking and tallying service for 28c per thonssnd bd. ft. or lOe per staidtofd-cord. one. but modernising H and making! it more simple to operste. This ma- chino was demoastriraBd at Lsarln- bnrg, N. C., ia March of this year. I Mr. Coleman was there to see the machine In qperaUoD ead promptly bought it.knd had it delivered to hto farm. Mi. Coleman Invites all interested peicons to see the new! cotton’picker and see It run at hto] farm. A large nnmber of farmers and farm implement company rep- resentatlvea have been to the Cole man farm to see the machine and] all of them l^ve been very fhvor-j able impressed, Mr. Colenian rw-j ports. Through various experiments and! demonstrations the machine proved that it will gather 99.96 per centi of all cotton on the stalk, one row] time. The Shelley picker will lUok from 10 to 15 acres cd cotton per day and can be operat^ 241 hours per day If desired. ,^-The- picker is easily towed by a] tor.' Ths picker’s wheels, moani-| on standard size 600x16 tlree.j can be moved in or out for any] myith eonon row from 10 to 48] Inches. The picker is built so that each! of its wheels will run between two rows the machine’s Intake (or! mouth) straddles the middle row.] Hie cotton is gathered by fingers] attached to bars which are fasten ed on a roller chain. This chainl revolves on sprockets on a shaft,] the bars being timed to come up In unionism from each side of the] cotton sulk. When the reach tbe top of the shaft, janother ] set of mechanical fingers revolve In such a way as to remove the cotton and kick it Into bags on each j side ot tbe plattorm. The Shelley picker weighs 2.7551 pounds, to eight feet high. The pick er to three foot wide and built] around it to a body which to 10] fact in sridth. The body to built three feet from the ground so aa to j easily pass over other rows of cot ton which are. not being picked.] The entire head of ‘ the machine may be raised or lowered 10 inchea so as to ensure sate turning at the ends cd, rows without causing the to come into contact with] the ground. -The machine to eanipped with! sealed ball bearings—there’s not a great# fitting on the entire meeh-j anlam—oo grease is neeeaaary. Tbel Skaely "Cotton King," as the In- vsolor rri^ers to hto picker. Is very easily operated. Any farm hand can nm it after one hoor'a instrnction on its operatloii—no skilled Imborj is necessary.
