Hi. I am looking at picking up one of these dinosaurs, wondering pros, and cons. Will it be alright picking 38" rows when its 36"? Does the 329 super sheller do a good job? Thanks.

I need to add some gear lube to the snapping roll gear boxes on my 326 picker. Is there a plug I am not seeing or do I need to take off the cover and make a new gasket?

Iowa State says that corn across the state has varying levels of aflatoxin, which apparently thrives in a drought. Our corn looks OK so far, but it is way too early to tell. Ours was planted in May, the stalks and leaves are still green, and the kernels have a long way to dry. We may not have a problem, bu...
