Today I got to run my picker for the very first time. My uncle opened up the field with the combine and let me pick a wagon full. It didn't pick very clean. I forgot to put the wagon elevator hopper fan belt on so I got a lot of husks and stalks in the load and my husking rollers are almost as smooth as racing s...

Hi guys, I bought an Oliver 5 worth fixing but have found that donors are hard to find in my area. Really could use some help if anyone knows where some salvage units are located.

Since I don't have any heads and don't want to spend the money to put tires on it, I was planning on parting it out. Then I thought about me needing a...

What is the widest rear tire size you can run with a 234 picker and pick 36 inch rows? Friend is setting one up on a 826 and trying to decide if 18.4's will work Or if 15.5's would be better.

I just bought an Oliver 5 that should be delivered this weekend. I checked on my corn today and about 1/2 of the ears have dropped and it feel relatively dry but the ears are hell to pull off the stalk. So, does the picker need to rip the ear off the stalk and then husk or does it try to pull the ear out of the husk...

I know this isn't a corn picker picture, but this is how it was done before my family got their first one(a one-row New Idea)..... The mules are "Bud" & "Queen", the 25 acres refers to the field the corn was picked from somewhere between 1939 and 1941.
