I found a New Idea 323 in St. Louis Missouri (on Craigslist). I was the first to call and worked out a deal over the phone/email. Between Monday and Friday of last week he had over 20 people call to try and buy it. I bought it from the second owner that used it to pick 10-15 acres a year to grind for his cows. ...

Has anybody put in any corn yet? I haven't but lots of people in my area have been. I got 20 acres of oats in on Wednesday and Thursday. I'll probably get my corn in next week. We've got plenty of moisture in our area, hopefully it lasts the whole season and we have a good corn crop to make the pickers work...

the tractor is in great shape and the picker is very nice as well. Bidding is starting at $6,500 on the tractor, picker, and elevator, and the seller also has a No. 50 seller offered separately with bidding starting at $2,000. A very nice JD offering as it's complete and the buyer won't spend his/her t...

Where can I find the replacement rubber fingers for a husking bed on a 323. I found this picker and got the guy down to $1600.

I bought the sheller today. I paid $400. The dealer said that it has never been put on a picker and all I will have to do is oil the chains.
