Oakley, KS is holding the Kansas State and the National corn husking contest Oct 16 & 17. I would like to put on a corn picking demostration that weekend also. But I need contacts to get pickers to Oakley.

Here is one of my recent purchases - a brochure for the Minneapolis-Moline SK Two-Row Mounted Huskor. This is the one they called the "Rock and Roll" picker - you rocked it back on its parking stands and then just drove your tractor out from under it. Anyone have one of these? I didn't realize...

I was offered $600.00 for a 101 that has been repainted, new tire, and absoutly no dents or scratches. Nothing has been wore out, as it was a very very small farm, around five to ten acres picked each year. I guess that is probably a decent price, so what do ya all think? I'm new here, so perhaps there is a b...

This last weekend in Monona Iowa there was a 234 on a trailer with the husking bed and sheller attachement. At first I thought the load was going to scrap, but seemed to be stacked too nicely on the trailer for scrap. Just wondering if it is for anyone here? Jim

Any reason as to why IH sold around 14,000 1-PR pickers between 1953-74 and only around 1500 2-PR during the same period? 2-row mounted IH pickers were just that popular with farmall owners and competition for 2-row pull-types was so tight that IH couldn't sell to non-IH tractor owners?

I thought I would scan in and post a brochure I just picked up at the Sioux Falls Toy Show this weekend - a brochure for the Oliver #4 2-Row Corn Picker. The weather is getting nicer by the day so I'll get it done tonite before I get too busy. Enjoy! -- Edited by jdtom on Monday 29th of March 2010 08:24:37 AM

Today's brochure is something that you probably have not seen very often - a Case 426 2-Row Mounted Corn Picker. If someone has one of these or knows anything else about these pickers, please share it with us! Otherwise, enjoy the brochure! -- Edited by jdtom on Tuesday 9th of March 2010 04:32:36 PM

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.
