This may have already been discussed but is there a way to look up the serial number on your picker (JD 237) and find out what year it was made?

Last Friday, October 18, some of you Iowans may have heard WHO radios Lee Kline mention a corn picking and plowing event occurring the next day near Collins. It would be the third annual. My cousin attended last year. When he showed me some images from that event, I said I would be there this year. A farm...

I just thought I would repost something I had put up on here a couple of years ago. I have quite an extensive collection of literature/brochures on various makes & models of corn pickers/shellers, etc. as well as wagon boxes, running gears and hoists. I scanned some of these brochures in and poste...

I've been wanting to post some pics of corncribs that we have on our farm. My Dad built the first one and I had the second one built. They hold about 2000 bushels a piece. Since we store the corn on a concrete floor we try to pick it pretty dry and sometimes we end up with more shelling of the corn then what i...

My Grandma has been going through old pictures and gave these to me after I bought my first picker. This is my grandpa Jim unloading corn in the crib while my Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Dan help out. My dad would have either just been born or not arrived yet. I believe this picture to be from the '53-'55 range. ...

Will someone tell me what colors go where. My frame is rust color. The Bittersweet color, is that an orange? If so, why do they also list an orange? The Buff, is that the cream color on the wheels? How far off is Oliver Green from the Green? Thanks for your help.

Love the forum, new member. Just purchased my first picker. New Idea 324 with 329 Super Sheller. Pulled it home behind my truck 300 miles. Used 2 come alongs to tighten it down to tongue and wired the snoots up as high off the ground as possible. Got it all turning with a crow bar.

I'm a new guy to the corn picking world. Do have a question. What is the real difference between a 324 and 325 ? Also the picker I'm thinking about buying (325 ) can pick a 28 to a 36 inch row. Do I have to adjust the machine for the width of the row or does it just fit as long as the row fall in the 28 to 36 space ? I kn...

I am relatively new to the forum. I am curious to know the maximum and typical acres sizes that are considered feasible for using a corn picker. For those using corn pickers today, is it more of a hobby/nostalgic activity, or are some operators using the picker in a serious way. I have heard that you can...
