I thought I'd post something this week that many of you have never seen or maybe didn't even know existed. These are scans of 3 different single-sheet brochures I have for the Vermeer Tractor-Mounted Corn Harvester. They made a 4-row wide and a 6-row narrow version. From what I understand, you could...

Did Deere have a rear elevator version of the 200 before the 300 picker? I though I saw some literature for a 200A once that was a 200 with a rear elevator, but I could be wrong.

My uncle and I bought a John Deere 200 picker. Looks like we are in the minority...most on this forum have New Idea?

I have a question about a 2M galvanized cornpicker that I intend on restoring. A few of the corner seams on the elevator are splitting. Is there any trick to welding the galvanized metal, or should I just skip that if it is a hassle and brace the corners with some other metal? My Dad, who used to use it, h...

How well does a sheller do with shelling if their is snow on top of the corn? Would the snow break up enough before it got in the sheller so that it wouldn't fill up everything? I have corn in a pickett crib and might need to shell some corn for feed. It has a fair amount of snow on top already and we might be g...

When I was kid we had an sp that I just rember . We later had an AC #17 on a 1958 D-17 diesel and then a 1961 Ford red 2 row mounted on a Ford 981 Select-o-Speed. The Ford picker was traded in 1963 on a new Gleaner E with 10 foot grain head and a 2 row corn head , ending our ear picking until 1984 when I grew Pioneer...

I've been visiting here for a while, I just joined today. Brought home a New Idea 305 with a 307 husking bed yesterday. I've picked quite a bit of corn, but all with Oliver (#5 and #6) and Wood Brothers (16-4) pickers. Can anyone bring me up to speed on New Ideas? Does anyone have any manuals for sale fo...

Here is what I'm looking at. I found a rectangular shaped crib. It is 72' long, 12' wide, and 12' to the roof trusses. I would just round the ears up from the walls, don't think the roof is made to go to the lid. I know the cubic feet of the building is 3455.6544 ft. I would like to know how many bushels of ear cor...

Here in east central Indiana, we still have probably about 1/3 of the corn still standing in fields, waiting to dry down.
