How is the best way to use the cobs for bedding goats. Can I put them in whole or would it be better to run them through a grinder and make them into smaller chunks?

Thought I'd share some pics of my outfit (and myself) picking some ear corn for my neighbors cattle over the weekend. Picked about 800 bushels or so and got along pretty well until a friend of mine ran it for a few rounds and came back and jumped back on and couldnt keep it from pulling in the third 30"...

If anyone is looking for a 234 picker I looked at one for sale tonight. Paints a little rough but its not rusted out. ITs sitting in a fence row but has been mowed up around so its easy access.

I have several questions. Will a New Idea 305/307 fit on a John Deere 60? Did M & W or anyone else ever make a Super Snoot and/or side screens to fit a 700 Case? Also, a friend just bought a New Holland cylinder sheller in working shape. I had heard that they were pretty rare, that New Holland didn't...

This past weekend my dad and I had the chance to see if the picker was up to the to the task. We didn't have the ability to pick it on the ear since the corn was going into the silo of the person who rents the land from my dad. The tractor and picker did a good job and shelled really nice! It was good to hear the unit...

What is the ideal moisture to pick corn at? I have a New Idea 324 and I tried it out this year. It ran great, however there seemed to be a lot of corn loss on the ground. We were thinking it was due to the corn being too dry and coming off the cob too easily. Moisture was down to 16%. Is that too dry, or is ther...

Finally got the New Idea 323 to work pretty good picking the corn. It's still jamming under the snapping rollers, but I have to have that worked out tomorrow.

I had my 325 picker out of the barn the other day to put some other equipment in. I took a few pics and thought I would post them. It is a 1966 model with a 326 8 roll bed. I bought it off a neighbor last year who had owned it 37 years. I used it last year, hope to clean it up and repaint it in the next year or two.

After all of the fun of mounting the picker this weekend, my dad and I are stumped. We started the picker, very carefully and slowly, only to find out that the right gathering unit would not work. We looked the right side over, up and down to discover that the chain that connects the upper slip clutch was v...
