I have a 3020 round muffler tractor that I put a 237 on. Have side shielding and screens, but no type of muffler guard or screen. The guy I got the picker from told me he remembers his dad having some sort of metal round piece that went around the muffler but wasn't bolted together necessarily. He thought i...

So we started tearing apart the husking bed on my 234 to get the rubber rolls out to have them rebuilt turns out to be a fair project, can anyone shed any light on how to get the driven gear off the steel husking roll. for some reason it seems to be more of a major project than first thought. Any info or insight...

Now that I'm finished with all of my corn harvest for 2016, I finally have some time to post some pictures of my ear corn harvest a few weeks ago. I switched to 30-inch rows in 2012 so I can't use my New Idea mounted picker anymore so I have been looking for a New Idea 3-row pull-type picker since then. I final...

Hi there. New user here. I have a 325 and some ears fell behind the elevator from the snappers to the husker and collected in the bottom. It is now completely jammed I can turn it with a pipe wrench and move the elevator a few inches back and forth. Any ideas how to free it up? Thanks

Found a 4000 to put the very nice 602 picker on I bought a couple years ago. Picker has very little wear and has always been barn kept. Guy I got it from said his neighbor bought it new and it was only wet twice. Found the tractor not too far from home but had to overhaul the motor. The rest of the tractor was in g...

Looking into different varieties for ear picking. Modern varieties shell too easy causing high loss. I have heard people talking about open pollinated. Can anybody tell the good or the bad? Thanks Jim

This weekend I was picking ear corn at a neighbor's farm and he has a very late model NI 323. However, he is not happy with how much shell corn the picker makes. In comparison, ear corn from my IH 234 was making half as much shell corn as his NI 323. His snapping rolls are set as close as he can get them. He has h...

Members, a friend of mine has been tossing around the idea of using his NI 319 on a Super M to pick 30" rows. He picked off some 30" rows on the headlands, slow but steady with no issues other than the tire nudging the next row. Which got him to think about using a narrower tire, but taller tire something aro...

Wondering if anyone had a pair of rubber snapping rolls for a Ford picker. Putting one together for a friend and the quartz rolls on it have all the quartz falling off. He said he would prefer rubber ones but would probably take whatever he can get. Thanks

How tall is a 2MH mounted on a M Farmall with 13.6-38 tires? Not concerned about the height of the elevator, just the picker on the tractor at its tallest point. thanks, Al

Here is an interesting corn picker, a 227 used one season then parked in the shed for whatever reason. Someone needs to check it out and buy it. It sells this Sat. Aug. 6. Looks like they dug it out of the shed and got it mobile on a mover. Holbrook, Nebraska. http://www.hprealty.net/AUCPurinton.htm
