It's raining right now so I have some spare time to post a few pictures of my New Idea 319 gathering unit with 322 husking bed at work. We finished cribbing corn Monday night. The tractor under the picker is a 1969 JD 2520 gas. Took about 12 acres to fill the 2 cribs and that's enough - sure glad I don't have...

Went to an auction near Rockford IL last Sat. They has a nice MM 1200 Shellmaster. It was complete, not rusted out or dented. Still had the original lettering and 40ft of drags. Went for about $1400, which I thought was high. But two people wanted it. Talked to the owner's son the next day and said h...

My brother and I went after my parts picker last week. It only took about 2 hours to cut the trees and brush that had grown up around and through it. Both tires held air, and it made the 4-mile trip home behind the pickup without much excitement. It is a New Idea #10. Is there much difference in parts between...

We're located in southwestern PA and have a model 74-H mounted corn picker that hasn't been used in over 15 years. We don't have a need for it since we have a 2-row pull behind New Idea picker. It's going to end up in the scrapyard unless someone shows some interest. I know it's difficult to put a value on it...
