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. I think it would be neat if you identified the wagons in your pictures as to brand (box, running gear and hoist) and approximat...

Here is a little bit of picking as I finished up before bad weather set in (high winds and heavy rain) here in Indiana on Nov. 13. Trying to get it in before it blew over. Didn't take pictures when using the 701 Uni like I should have when I used it a few days earlier, but here are some with the 325 2 row and the 30...

Anybody know who made a crib that had bolt-together perforated-steel side panels? I saw one once, looked like the old, small 'government' grain bins except for the holes . . . . Also wondering who made a round crib that had vertical wood slats in the steel-framed panels? There used to be one right a...

Just got this yesterday. Was a good trip about 3 hrs away. Didn't like I had to bring it home in the dark with a trailer not quite up to dot specs. All went well and ran it today. I may try to post more pics. It will be used just to play with and for show, but it is in good working condition. I would like to re...

If the ears don't blow off the wagon. Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 62. Windy, with a south wind 16 to 19 mph increasing to between 31 and 34 mph. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph.

I finally became an official corn picker owner today. I bought a 1-row New Idea from a friend of mine today. He thinks it is a #10, but I don't know. where would I look for a serial/model# tag if it is a #10? Thanks, Dale

Hi. This is the third year I picked corn with my one row New Idea. Not a lot of corn, between 1-3 acres per year. This year my stand of corn was less than optimal, wrong plates in the planter and a wet year. Anyhow, the picker is dropping A LOT of corn. The stalks go through the snapper rolls and roll righ...

Just a few shots of picking in 2011 with the Oliver #5. About 19% moisture. I'm going to rebuild the gathering chains and the area they run on. May use some of the HMWU material instead of the wood parts. Thanks for looking. Perry

Has anyone besides this guy I know (Ok i'll admit it was me) ever start to pick corn and get to the end of the row only to see a row of nice yellow corn laying on the ground? You would think that I would have remembered to close the door on the wagon. Mind you this is not the first time it has happened to me in all my...

I purchased an International Corn Binder from a guy off Ebay. Had to travel from Alabama to Michigan to pick it up. 834 miles each way. Took all of last weekend to retrieve it. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Anyway.... Here are some pictures. It still has the binder twine laced and has been shedded...

I am looking into picking and cribbing some ear corn next year. I have a picker, tractor, gravity wagons, ETC. However, shellers are few and far between out by me. I had a crazy idea the other day. Would it be possible to take the sheller unit out of an old combine and rig it up to shell corn out of a crib? I kno...

Was wondering if the mount off of a 304 gathering unit would swap with a 319 and vice versa. I have a 319 with an M mount and I am trading a guy with a 304 and an oliver mount will it work? Thanks for the info.

pickerboy · pickerboy

I am still in search of the mounting brackets for a new idea 319 picker to an Oliver super 88. Pretty sure all oliver mounts are the same. Let me know if you have one of theese pickers mounted on an oliver. I would like to talk and see what it would take to fabricate a mounting bracket.

This weekend I brought home an IH 234 mounted corn picker. I paid $700 for the gathering unit, power unit subframe, husking bed, sheller, single front wheel, and super snoot.

I'm looking for a cheap corn picker in northern maryland for our small farm. Is there anyone that has one at a cheap price. Thanks

Skip7879 · Skip7879

Maybe I am just dreaming but did IH ever make something called a "feedmaker" attachment. I was thinking it ground the whole ear before it went to the wagon. I could be just dreaming I would like to find an eaisy way to put up ground high moisture ear corn in a bag.

muley280 · muley280

I have come across a IH 234 mounted picker and was wondering if anyone knew what other tractor models this would fit. We have a case SC and DC that we would like to mount this to. Is this possible? Can anyone help out with some info. Thanks Steve

Try Ralph Klatt in Shawano Wisconsin at mrklatt@yahoo.com. Used him many times. Always had the right part. Or try calling up NI parts on ebay and then click on his ebay store.

Can someone tell me the difference between a mounted 17 cornpicker vs. a mounted 33 cornpicker? What years were these pickers made? What models of tractors could these be used on? Thanks

pickerboy · pickerboy

I am setting up a oliver super 88 for a picker and was wondering fow far my wheels need to be apart. They are all the way out on the axles and still appear to close. Do I have to flip the wheels and tires from side to side? Thanks for the advice.
