Description

When you’re running your cotton picker hard during harvest and notice one of your picker bars isn’t grabbing cotton like it should, it’s time for a complete replacement. This PickSmart bar assembly gets you back to full picking efficiency without the hassle of trying to rebuild worn components piece by piece. Cotton doesn’t wait, and neither should you when there’s a field ready to pick.

What You’re Getting

Complete 20-spindle picker bar assembly ready to install—no hunting for individual parts
Quality PickSmart construction built specifically for John Deere Pro-16 series cotton pickers
Properly spaced and aligned spindles that grab cotton efficiently without damaging the fiber
Direct replacement design that bolts right into your existing picker head mount

Built for Real Farm Work

This assembly fits John Deere Pro-16 cotton picker models through the CP770 series (up to serial number 230001). These are the machines that handle your cotton harvest, whether you’re picking irrigated fields or dryland cotton across hundreds or thousands of acres. The Pro-16 system is designed for efficiency, and this bar assembly helps maintain that performance when your original equipment starts showing its age.

Made to Last

Cotton picking puts serious stress on picker bars—they’re constantly spinning, flexing, and dealing with plant material, dust, and field debris. This PickSmart assembly is engineered to handle those demands with properly heat-treated spindles and robust mounting hardware that won’t let you down when you need it most.

Good to Know

Installation requires basic mechanical skills and the right tools, but it’s a straightforward swap if you’ve worked on your picker before. Make sure to check your machine’s serial number—if you have a CP770 with serial number 230002 or higher, you’ll need the updated SMA49979 assembly instead. A quick tip: while you’ve got the old bar off, it’s a good time to inspect and clean the mounting area.
