I was just wondering when everyone was going to be getting in to Rantoul. I think we are leaving on Wednesday and hope to be over there later in the day. What about the rest of you? Will be at the Wingate later that evening. Mike

Well Kevin and I decided it was time for another road trip. This time it was western Iowa to go and "gather" up an Oliver #74 corn picker and an Oliver 880 diesel tractor. We went to pick it up for one of Kevin's friends, and I was told we were going to mount it on the 880. When we got there that plan c...

Some friends of mine and I are going to Rantoul this year to participate in picking corn (and possibly combining as well). Being trailer room will be at a premium, are we expected to bring our own wagons or will there be wagons at the show? Thanks in advance. Mike

Called Quarters Inn today for hopefully a block of rooms for some of us corn picker nuts at Ratoul, all booked up, but they will put you on a list in case of a cancellation which they said it happens often.

Going to look at a NI 309 picker thats for sale. Does anyone know what is the difference in the 323 and the 309? Is the 309 just an older model? I live in south Georgia and wanted to bag and sell a little cob corn to deer hunters. Which would be the better choice or is there not much difference? Any thoughts wou...

Looking for a picker to harvest a few acres of corn. Talked to a few local guys that sell cob corn to deer hunters and they recommended the NI 323 for what im doing. Ive seen huge price differences from $500. to $3500. What is a fair price for one in good condition? What areas of the machine do i need to look at...

I bought a New Idea 302 that had been parked in a field for many years and was in pretty poor condition. I have looked online for parts, mainly on ebay, and they seem to be nonexistant. Luckily I really don't need much other than chains, sheet metal, and alot of grease. But still I can't find much info abou...

I have always fed cracked shelled corn to my beef cattle. This year I am going to pick cob corn and grind the cobs also. My question is, I usually went thru around 200 bushels of shelled corn in a year, will I need around 200 bushels of cob corn? I know a bushel of shelled corn is 1.25 cubic feet and cob cor...

Heres a few shots of an A with a mounted picker. These were taken at my local show grounds in Mabel MN. As long as I can remember this rig has been at the show. Years ago an older gentleman would drive it through the parade and run the picker. It has since changed hands and has not ran for a few years. It st...

For those of you who have done any kind of repainting of New Idea equipment lately, where have you got AGCO bittersweet orange or buff? I know many people are crossing paints with other companies.

I have found and now looked at a 234 picker. It was mounted on a 560 but it hasn't picked corn since the mid-to-late 1970s. The picker has sat inside all of it's life. So, I have questions for the forum. I would appreciate any all perspectives. I would like to have 706 to mount a 234 picker onto, but I am sure t...

I know there's no corn being picked now, but how about some pictures of your planting rigs? Or maybe a few of the crop growing in the field. Things are kinda slow on here now. Just thought it would be nice to see pics from others parts of the country. I realize everybody's busy now.

What model corn picker i...

I remember seeing an old ad for one, came with a kit for mounting on Model T Ford with a clutch and pulley to provide power off the driveshaft. They made feed grinders that mounted the same way. Would be quite the piece to have in a collection if any are left.
