Well we brought the 880 home today and found out that its stuck...however we think that we can easily break it loose. Any ideas on how to do that? We also got the spare parts for the tractor and picker...an M&W Super Snoot, New Idea grill snoot (I think), side shields for the motor, and extra paddles f...

I've been plugging away at shelling out the 2 cribs of corn that I picked last fall, using my John Deere No. 6 Sheller. Had 2 breakdowns - nothing serious though - a gib key vibrated out of the sieve shaker arm and a roller chain that was worn out jumped off, got twisted and had to be replaced. The shelle...

Hi guys. I might have found the Wood Brothers picker my neighbor used to pick corn for my Dad, but the elevator has been crunched. If anyone knows where I might find a useable elevator I would like to hear about it. TIA Dale

Hello, I have just purchased a kenwanee 500 elevator. Not sure how old it is and there is no owner manuals with it. I was just wondering if anyone has used one. I need to know how fast should it run? It looks like it runs on a pto, but there is no pto shaft on it. How fast can you feed the ear corn to it? A...

What would be my best tractor choice on a New Idea 325 picker. A 450 farmall with a fast hitch that sways back and forth several inches or a Farmall M without live PTO. I can use either but would like some opinions. Thanks.
