Here is the same farm. This shows the KBH Cotton House in action. Showing how they make a module. The pickers dump the load into the KBH.    Working the controls to pack away.  Dumping and packing away.  After 12 dumps she is nice and full.  The field wasn't finished. And the KBH full. They brought in the wagons to finish it off.  KBH about to unload.  Opening the rear gate.  Pulling away with a fresh new cotton module.   |

It is a packer. It just packs the picked cotton into a very large bale. Then a truck comes and loads it up. And hauls it to the gin. Where it is processed.

Cotton harvest is so interesting to me. Been wanting to make a road trip down south for years to see it in action Head towards the Mississippi river areas in the south. That is the nearest places to catch it in action. From your home. Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, those places. |
