Ground our first batch of corn from last fall today. I noticed that alot of the ears had ice on them and were stuck together. Im hoping it is form the snow and rain from the winter so far and not that way all the way through. We use a Gehl 95 mill and we had a heck of a time getting it to unload. Kept bridging u...

The inside snapping rolls must have a stripped gear - they don't work, so I just pick one row at a time, which is plenty for my little 8N. es

I have a question about a 2M galvanized cornpicker that I intend on restoring. A few of the corner seams on the elevator are splitting. Is there any trick to welding the galvanized metal, or should I just skip that if it is a hassle and brace the corners with some other metal? My Dad, who used to use it, h...
