Hi just wondered how some of you guys are testing your ear corn for moisture content before harvest. Thought it would be neat to see what other guys are using. Thanks

Here's a "drawing" with the measurements for the corn picker trailer I made last summer. The axle is cut down from an auger truck and re-welded in the middle. 2 things I'd do differently (I'm going to change mine this same way before I use it again): 1) The axle from the auger flexes too much. I...

I bought a new idea #7 Saturday at an auction. I run a #10 but this one had a crash. Somehow they broke the drive sprocket on the first elevator and jacked it up. It's got brand new 7.50 24's firestones on it. Had to give 150 bucks to keep it from the scrappers. This thing lived 2 miles from the house it's whole...

I have to stack some round bales around the empty wooden long cribs, against the bottoms. Don't want to take the chance that the winds will pull the anchor bolts through the old sills!

Hey, I am looking for a New Idea 324 2RW picker. Is there anything I should look out for when I go to look at one like signs of parts going bad or how good of condition it was kept in. This will be my first picker so wanting to know as much as I can before going to view one. Thanks.

After reading Mike's post about the wagons, my question is do the wagons need hoists or can they dump them without hoists? I have some flair beds I've thought about bringing just to help out. By the way this is my first post on here so be gentle. Dale
