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.

Thinking about upgrading from my case one row to something more modern and easyer to fine parts for,would it be smart to get a two row model as they are easyer to find and have the shelling opition on but only use it to pick one row at a time if the spacing didnt work out ?

Does anybody know where I could find a 6 tooth, 1" bore, #62 chain sp...

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.

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...

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).

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. I was told my first one had only sat outside about a year but it was probably longer because all the gathering chains and first elevator chains are froze up pretty stiff. So I went to look at another one and ended up...
