By Heather Miller Pickers are a spectator favorite at the HCOP Show! Alex Toennies, Mike Wiegmann and Ryan Wiegmann from Breese, Illinois own a 1945 Farmall M tractor and a 1963 New Idea picker and wagon that they brought to this years HCOP Show. This picker works on 38” row centers only. The tractor/picker/wagon set was purchased at a farm sale about ten years ago. They also added a sheller attachment to the set in 2015. The three owners are hobby equipment collectors and began traveling to farm shows in 2011.
