Since I went off on a tangent with last week's brochure, I thought I would continue in that direction today. You need something to get the ears from the wagon to the crib and the most common (and easiest) way is by using a flight elevator, or more specifically for today's brochure, a Kewanee elevator. At...

We all enjoy playing with our corn pickers but I think everyone would agree that they wouldn't be as much fun if there wasn't a wagon trailing behind to catch the ears! So I thought I would post one of my favorites this week. Actually, these are 4 separate pieces but they all go together so I wanted to show t...

This weekend I saw a one row pull John Deere picker with left hand use. (From the highway, I'll stop back another day) Wasn't an 18 right hand use? Did they make 200's in the one row configuration?

I bought a 70 bushel farm wagon from a guy over Christmas. He had a JD 237 Mounted picker in his barn. He also has 2 spare gathering units to go with the picker. He is located in North Alabama. The picker appeared to be in very good shape. He also had the brackets to mount it on a JD tractor. He wants $600....

I crinkled the inner divider on my NI 324 on a frozen-in rock this past season. I saw a JD 300 picker where the owner had put polytin on its 244 corn head. Looking at my own 244 head that's on the combine, I may be able to adapt polytin dividers to the 324. I know I need to install all the NI hardware from...

Wondering if anyone can help with some info. Back in the early 1950s my dad had an IH pull type picker. I can just barely remember it. It had an elevator that came out the side and a wagon hitch that could swing around for transport or field use. I've been told by some older neighbors that it was a 2 row.(can'...
