(Preview)
This past weekend my dad and I had the chance to see if the picker was up to the to the task. We didn't have the ability to pick it on the ear since the corn was going into the silo of the person who rents the land from my dad. The tractor and picker did a good job and shelled really nice! It was good to hear the unit...

Corn Moisture
(Preview)
What is the ideal moisture to pick corn at? I have a New Idea 324 and I tried it out this year. It ran great, however there seemed to be a lot of corn loss on the ground. We were thinking it was due to the corn being too dry and coming off the cob too easily. Moisture was down to 16%. Is that too dry, or is ther...

NI 325
(Preview)
I had my 325 picker out of the barn the other day to put some other equipment in. I took a few pics and thought I would post them. It is a 1966 model with a 326 8 roll bed. I bought it off a neighbor last year who had owned it 37 years. I used it last year, hope to clean it up and repaint it in the next year or two.

2MH on a Farmall M
(Preview)
Hello- I recently purchased a 2MH picker that was on a Farmall 450 standard hitch tractor. I currently have it on a M, but when I hook up the drive shaft, it is not straight, and when you lift the picker, it makes an awful sound. Are there different mounts between the two tractors? Thanks for your help.
