I just thought I would throw this out there for anyone who needs it - in addition to playing around with my pickers and shellers like many of us on this forum, I also have an extensive personal collection of sales brochures and literature. While it is not for sale, I am sure willing to share information, p...

I just came across this forum and am glad for it. Many of you sound very knowledgeable about pickers - something that will come in handy for me in the future. Attached are some pics of me and some of my children picking corn this year.

With or without a sheller on the 227/237. And for the 226, mounted on an unstyled 'A', but beggers can't be choosers. TIA Art -- Edited by Art From De Leon on Monday 30th of November 2009 06:49:27 AM

Earlier this fall I mounted up my New Idea 319 gathering unit on my JD 2520, in preparation to fill the 2 cribs that I filled last year. To save space in the shed until I was ready to use it, I did not mount the husking bed on it right away. Soon after I had it ready to go I discovered that most of the corn this...

I live in NW Missouri about 15 miles from the Iowa line. I have found a corn elevator not to far from home. The elevator has a drag on it. It is 50 ft long he says. It's in really good shap. The problem is I dont know what it's worth. Most of them in this area are used as feed bunks. He is asking $1200. -- Edited b...

Here they are, I finally got them on you tube! I had a great time picking (and this was my first time!) I did notice that the picker had a hard time keeping up with the high population corn, but I feathered the hand clutch on my WD and it went great once I found a good speed.

About ten years ago an old friend gave me a very basic corn picker. This year I finally got time to put it into working condition.
