What is the difference between a 35 corn picker and the 36 corn snaper?

Back in the day there were pickers that had shucking beds and ones that didn't. I'm guessing the snappers didn't.

All early Allis pickers had long rollers. The front half did the snapping, and the back half did the husking. Later models had the same rollers, but added rubber plugs in the back half to grip the husk and help pull t off. Later models also had a set of fingers to help pull the ears and husk thru the narrow opening between the front and rear half of the rollers.
 Other makes had Snappers that just snapped the ear off and elevated it into a wagon, or had husking beds that removed much of the husk.

Do not know about the Allis pickers but where I grew up a snapper just popped the ear off the stalk left the husk on, a picker actually husked the ear as well, we had both for a while.

IIRC the husks were good when grinding feed, get more food value

Husks added fiber to the ground corn, but if you filled a crib with corn that had a lot of husk, it better be pretty well dried first.
 I helped the neighbor shell out a wire crib once, that was filled after they lost most of the use of the husking bed. I guess they didn't think they had time to fix it before they filled the crib. It was a real nightmare, getting corn to fall down. We had a cave dug back nearly 3/4 way across the crib before it finally caved in, and sent a cloud of green mold dust up  in the air about a 100 feet.

Yeah, husks made for mold for sure. The more worn out our picker got, the more mold we’d get. Not healthy for the cows. Often picked in the snow, so there was moisture added even if it was dry to start with.
