I was just wondering if older gravity wagons were allowed at Rantoul show. I have found a Little Giant that looks to be in good shape, if it hasn't already sold. Thanks Dale

Well Kevin and I decided it was time for another road trip. This time it was western Iowa to go and "gather" up an Oliver #74 corn picker and an Oliver 880 diesel tractor. We went to pick it up for one of Kevin's friends, and I was told we were going to mount it on the 880. When we got there that plan c...

Some friends of mine and I are going to Rantoul this year to participate in picking corn (and possibly combining as well). Being trailer room will be at a premium, are we expected to bring our own wagons or will there be wagons at the show? Thanks in advance. Mike

Going to look at a NI 309 picker thats for sale. Does anyone know what is the difference in the 323 and the 309? Is the 309 just an older model? I live in south Georgia and wanted to bag and sell a little cob corn to deer hunters. Which would be the better choice or is there not much difference? Any thoughts wou...

Looking for a picker to harvest a few acres of corn. Talked to a few local guys that sell cob corn to deer hunters and they recommended the NI 323 for what im doing.

I have always fed cracked shelled corn to my beef cattle. This year I am going to pick cob corn and grind the cobs also. My question is, I usually went thru around 200 bushels of shelled corn in a year, will I need around 200 bushels of cob corn? I know a bushel of shelled corn is 1.25 cubic feet and cob cor...

Heres a few shots of an A with a mounted picker. These were taken at my local show grounds in Mabel MN. As long as I can remember this rig has been at the show.

I have found and now looked at a 234 picker. It was mounted on a 560 but it hasn't picked corn since the mid-to-late 1970s. The picker has sat inside all of it's life.

I know there's no corn being picked now, but how about some pictures of your planting rigs? Or maybe a few of the crop growing in the field. Things are kinda slow on here now. Just thought it would be nice to see pics from others parts of the country. I realize everybody's busy now.
