Corn picker forum

Cactus West · Cactus West

I am relatively new to the forum. I am curious to know the maximum and typical acres sizes that are considered feasible for using a corn picker. For those using corn pickers today, is it more of a hobby/nostalgic activity, or are some operators using the picker in a serious way. I have heard that you can...

Hi! New to the forum. Our group and myself recently purchased two New Idea no. 7 one row pickers, and we're trying to figure out how old they are. Is there a list of serial numbers that we can refer to in order to determine the age of these? I've been reading some of the other posts here and some guys seem...

This week's brochure is one of my all-time favorite brochures (of all equipment, not just corn pickers). As you can tell as you browse through it, I have had it for a very long time. It shows quite a bit of wear and I even wrote my name on it! I'm sure I picked this one up at the Clay County Fair when I was a kid an...

I was wondering if anyone had any info on a Dearborn running gear. I bought one yesterday and don't know much about it. I know that dearborn made 2 models. The 21-2 was a 2 and a half ton running gear and the 21-1 was the 4 ton running gear. I have the 21-1.

Sometimes the weather is just very unpredictable. Last Sunday night we had some tough straight line winds here in east central IN. During this wind and rain storm (didn't seem that bad) I was out in the garage working on a project. A friend nearby lost his 50x90 Cleary pole barn that was ripped down by t...

Well, after many trips to the field, moisture testing, and days passing by, I had to put away the tractor and picker this season. Here in our part of southeast Minnesota, there is still some corn in the fields and there are fields with fall tillage done. On our farm, the corn just didn't dry down sufficie...

Today I decided to take the new picker off the 60 and put it away for the winter. I backed out of the shed and took the rear elevator off. I had to pull out my plow and Uncle's drill before I could put the picker in the very back of the shed. I backed in and hooked up to the plow. My plan was to drive a loop out into t...

I am looking for help locating a mounting bracket for an IH No. 20 corn picker. I am told the picker is very similar to the No. 24 picker.

Hi All, I have been lurking around here for awhile. I have a NI 323 that I use to pick as much as 20 acres per year with. Always has worked fairly well except this year.

Well, I found one today! Was able to pick it up at an auction in Johnstowns, OH. Now all I need is a 602 corn picker to put it on. The sheller is actually in pretty good shape. This is the first one that I've seen.
