For Sale: The time has come for me to part with my New Idea 319 Mounted Picker and related processing units. I switched to 30" rows over 10 years ago and I don't anticipate planting any wide-row corn in the future. So it is time for someone else to enjoy what I collected since the early 2000's. I have all of these items stored inside, and each unit has an operator manual.
The 319 Gathering Unit is in very nice shape. The guy I purchased it from had it stored inside and I have stored it indoors as well. It had some worn parts and bad bearings when I got it so I replaced what needed to be replaced. I posted pictures of this picker in action years ago on this forum - feel free to search for them. I had it mounted on a JD 2520 and that's what mounts are with it now as well as the side screens. I do have some extra mounts in storage for some other brands of tractors. I'm asking $1000 for this unit which includes all mounts as well as a 2-wheel transport cart that I built for moving it around. There are also extra parts around here that could go with it as well.
The 320 8-roll Husking Bed supposedly is NOS, never been used. I purchased it from Dee Implement in Waukon, IA - it was still sitting in their warehouse. The elevator that goes with it is a used one from another picker - the dealer had sold the one that came with this unit. It should be complete but I have never used it. I'm asking $400 for this unit.
The 322 12-roll Husking Bed is the one that I purchased with the 319 Gathering Unit. I used this for several years, picking about 2200 bushels each time I used it. It is complete and in good condition. I'm asking $600 for this unit.
The 315 Sheller Unit is also in good condition. It needed some parts & bearings replaced when I got it and the steel bottom that funnels the shelled corn into the wagon auger system was rusting out so I replaced that as well. I did use it one one fall years ago and it worked well. I'm asking $600 for this unit.
I also have a 317 Grinder Unit for this picker - not easy to find. The guy I purchased it from had it stored in a shed that was starting to fall down. It has the 2-wheel transport and hitch attachment so it is easy to move around. I never used it and it needs some work. I'm asking $800 for this unit, which includes an incomplete 2nd grinder unit for parts. The parts machine has the wagon auger and also has the 2-wheel transport & hitch attachment.
Prices are a bit negotiable, especially if you are interested in most or all of the collection. As I said earlier, there is quite a bit of extra parts that could go with any or all of these units.
