Really enjoyed reading the "dream picker"posts and wondered what are some of the "oddities" out there? There has to be some. What about an 830 or 930 Comfort King with a New Idea? Can it be done with those big fenders on?Or a 444 Massey with a Massey or New Idea picker? In my neck of...

Just for the sake of discussion, what (in your own opinion) is the absolute best tractor that one could put under a mounted picker? This is completely color-blind in regard to both the tractor and the picker. This could be something you have had experience running or just your own speculation as to wha...

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...

Maybe I'm the only one who is interested in this, but several of you have posted pictures of your corn-picking outfits pulling wagons that are vintage of the corn picker era.
