   Basically pickers are much more complicated than a stripper.  Creston only had stripper machines. He has one with a header that looks like a pickers but it is not . Allis promoted strippers as a better more economical way of harvesting cotton.  Another company (green) wanted the more complicated  system that needed more replacement parts and service. This other company squashed research that Basically wrote the end of the stripper.  Pickers produce  a slightly cleaner product and can go through the field several times. Creston knows a lot about these machines and hopefully he can chime in.  If you get a  chance and he does this again definitely get out there to see this in person.  Hopefully someone made a video that can be posted on YouTube of Creston explaining the machines and the process. 
There are different varieties of cotton for both the pickers and strippers. Picker cotton is taller, usually irrigated and out produces stripper cotton.  Stripper cotton is shorter and usually used in dry land farming.  Produces less but much less input

	Check out Wild West Farmer on YouTube! They run 3 JD strippers that are 25 years old, still use boll buggies and module builders! Says it is way to expensive to get a new one that puts out bales!
