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.

Hello, I found this forum and am now a new member. I am planning for next year and doing some winter farming.

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...

Hi! New to the forum. Our group and myself recently purchased two New Idea no. 7 one row pickers, and we're trying to figure out how old they are.

Today I decided to take the new picker off the 60 and put it away for the winter. I backed out of the shed and took the rear elevator off. I had to pull out my plow and Uncle's drill before I could put the picker in the very back of the shed. I backed in and hooked up to the plow. My plan was to drive a loop out into t...
