I was at Farm Progress in Boone, IA yesterday, and saw as we were leaving that there was a NICE looking Oliver 74 Mounted picker/husker sitting outside of a shed near the SE corner of the show grounds. They were sitting apart from each other like they were getting ready to drive the tractor into it. Maybe...

What would be a good picker that would fit my '57 JD 720 diesel? (Tractor has power steering, and roll-a-matic front end) Or would I be better of with a pull type. Wouldn't be opposed to a JD unit, but a big factor is that I can get whatever New Idea parts are still available through my family's farm equip...

Here's your next brochure - the John Deere 237 Mounted Picker and the 300 Husker in the same brochure! This is the last brochure on the 237 Mounted Picker - they were dropped from the line soon after this. I have the brochure previous to this one and that one still has the 50 Sheller listed - they had alrea...

Does anybody know if you can haul the number 6 corn sheller on a trailer and still be legal width and height. I guess I am asking their physical dimensions. This one apears to be on a factory two wheel cart. Its just far enought away that it needs hauled. Thanks Earl

I've been asking around about corn cribs and had a guy tell me about this one, stuck back in the middle of 40 ac. he has rented. He's going to ask if he wants to sale it, keeping the fingers crossed. I'm thinking is might be a Columbian, it has the top lid that turns on and off and the key and chain on man hole...

Anyone ever have any experience with one of those bucket elevators built into the corn crib? My grandpa has one in his grainery but hasn't used it in over 20 years.

Tim in NJ · Tim in NJ

My grandfather used to plant the field corners square. The picker couldn't follow that corner. It wasn't acceptable to run any over with the picker, either. So the grandkids were sent out at the beginning of the season with a tractor and a box wagon to pick the corners out by hand. Due to not having...
