I have found several 324's and a 325 that I really would like to buy, but they are all too wide to haul on a deck over trailer. I found a 325 in Michigan (800 miles from me) that I was going to buy, but the guy told me that it was 112" wide. I don't know how I could haul it without wide load placards and a lot...

I spoke with the man that has the New Idea corn picker. He say's it's a 309. He's going to check the Serial # and get to me with that so we can tell the year model. He's going to email me pictures. He says that it's in good shape with only a dent on the bottom of the elevator. What do I need to look for when I go t...

Does any body know where I could find a New Idea three row corn picker, preferably just the gathering unit. I would need the narrow row gathering unit (I am on 30" rows). The 329 sheller that I bought is set up for a three row picker. To put it on a two row picker I need to change some parts around and...

First post, but I've been lurking. I just spoke with a guy that has a New Idea 309 or 310 that he wants to trade for a JD 127. I called and asked if he would be interested in selling and he said probably. He wasn't sure of the year model and said when it quit raining (we're under a tornado watch) that he would...

Does anyone ever have a big mess after unloading a wagon of ear corn?

I bought the sheller today. I paid $400. The dealer said that it has never been put on a picker and all I will have to do is oil the chains. We're going to have about 80 acres of corn this year and thought we might pick it all with the picker and sheller. The dealer said that it was about a $3,000 to$4,000 u...

Does anybody know what a 329 supersheller costs? I found one that has been sitting outside, but is in decent shape. The paint is good and it doesn't look like it has been used much.

What a great little website! Seeing pictures of picking corn brings back a flood of memories, from short sleeve weather to 20 below. If only those days could be lived again. Like the time my dad was sick and my uncle was running the picker and mom was hauling in, waiting and waiting, from a distance,for...

I have an older FarmRite corn picker. It's a 1 row - semi-mounted machine that fits on the back of and 8N or early 100 series Ford. It is from the late 40's.

Anybody know where sets of these are? I saw a poster on here say he was moving his 2-MH from 560 to his 706, I take you have brackets then? I would love to run my 2M-HD on a 706 eventually as I plan on buying one. Would it fit on a 756 or 856 since the tractors are virtually the same? Brackets for the 06 series...

I was wondering if anyone needed new rubber flight for the elevator chain. On my NI 300 it was missing a few and they are all wore out. I took a utility knife and cut the sidewall out of a tire and used it to make some new ones. Now it can haul 3 ears up. The old ones would haul up one ear. I just took a grinder to the...

I have a New Idea 300 and only used it twice. I hope to use it this year but I noticed a little problem last time. On the front where the corn gets pulled in by the 2 rollers they are supposed to pull the stalk down and then rip the ear off. I noticed the ear would go right down with the stalk on about 1/3 of the stal...
