Yesterday I got my 237 mounted and pretty much field ready. One gathering chain needs a slight amount of attention and the sheet metal on the bottom end of the wagon elevator needs a small repair and it really needs a bath but other than that she's ready for the field!

Hey guys i just got a new idea 325 with a 329 super sheller and I was wandering how do you know when its time to get the snapping rolls rebuilt? I found a company that will rebuild them, but I was wandering if it will help with the corn shelling on them and trash going into machine. Last yr when I used my 324 wit...

Here is something that I hope you guys can shed some light on. My buddy Josh found this brochure at a show, a Doane Stalk Cutter for an IH mounted picker. I have never seen nor heard of something like this. Has anybody out there ever seen, used, or know anything about this? Wow, this is crazy!!

Wanted to share a couple pictures of the sheller I got painted this week. Mounted it on the 961 and picker I shared last fall. Sheller came out of Bruno, Nebraska and the guy said he can only remember his dad using it one year and it has been in the shed ever since. Got a good set of heads with it and have a 981 di...

Until I was a grown man, I never saw a picker. When I was a kid all anybody had was snappers. It wasn't until the 2 row pickers started showing up around here until I saw a husking bed, and I was assume that was just because 2 row snappers weren't available. I've been around snappers all my life and I remember...

Wondering if anyone has installed a gathering chain slowdown kit from calmer or hotter to try and reduce the trash coming into the picker. 3 rows and the trash it brings in gets to be to much for the picker in real good corn. thanks

I have 315(?) sheller in the shed that should be put to use. Years ago, my dad gave me the picker and husking unit to do what I would with, but would not let me have the sheller. I was using a 2 row combine anyway. After I quit farming I sold the picker and husker to a guy (now retired and sold out) the next tow...

I'm needing an old picker to pick several acres of field corn. The only picker local to me is a John Deere 120 snapper. I know they are semi mount but any thoughts on them?

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have always been a sucker for corn pickers. I've owned several throughout the years (NI mounted 2 row, AC 1 row, JD 100, JD 120, and a 1 row NI). I had kind of got out of row crops in the last few years but my kids wanted to plant some corn so I put out a few acres this year. I picked u...

I found this on Craigslist, while visiting family in western New York. The previous owner had taken off his dads 520 JD, and was going to scrap it if it didn't sell. And I couldn't let that happen. He said it had always been under cover. It looks to be well taken care of. Now all I have to do is haul it 1200 mil...

Has anyone heard of a JD 227 corn picker being mounted on a Allis Chalmers D17? I have an opportunity to buy one but I would have to mount it on my D17. It would be a long drive to get it for no reason if I can't use it.

Got another 237 brought home today. I've had trouble getting my first one to turn freely.
