After my corn crib was full I had two wagons of corn left. I put up the snow fence cribs on a hay wagon so I can move them plus they get air from the bottom. My question is, should I cover them or leave them alone. Last year I covered them and some water leaked thru the tarp and the corn molded where it got wet....

Id say that would depend on where you live. I think I could get by with a much wider crib here in NE Okla, than I could when I lived in NE Kans. I think dads was around 10ft wide, and around 24ft long. Maybe 10ft outer wall. I kinda think he said it could hold 750bu.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a New Idea 176 and 177 Ear Corn/Hay Elevator?

Richard · Richard

We just bought a New Idea one row picker and don't know what number it is. The only thing I can tell you is that it has wood on the bottom of the ear elevator going up to the wagon. I cannot find a tag or number on it. Thanks for a great forum "poor" Rich in NEbr

Been trying to find some info online about what width to build a wooden corn crib but cant find a answer for my area. Iam located in southwest VA. I was thinking about one about6 foot wide, but i would like to start picking when the moister is around 20% or a little less. Do you think that it would be ok?

Has anyone ever heard of a century products co. wagon hoist. My grandpa has one in the grove. It has an oil resevoir on the side with a lever coming out of it. I am assuming you pump that handle to lift the hoist and then you don't need any tractor hydraulics. Century Products Co. is the only writing st...

I live in Arthur, IL, the home of Progress Industries. Back in the 40's / 50's, they made barge and flare bed wagons. I am looking to find one to restore. They sold them under the Promway of Farmway names. They also manufactured the Promway Corn Dump as well. Any help would be appreciated.
