Hi Folks, Recently shipped a two row from Southern MN to the Canadian Border. Worked well. I was concerned being that the picker is 10.5'' wide and a 8'6" float. We used two fork lifts and stabalized the picker tongue with a chain to the one fork lift's mast. One forklift lifted by using its forks on...

Looking for an IH elevator. Preferably close to Eastern IA. We have mostly IH pickers and an IH elevator would fit in. Putting up a 16ft Behlen crib this summer so need a way to fill it. THanks, Dan Robinson. Please PM me or call/text 3one9-5five8-9three9zero, if no answer leave message.

Hello.. I just purchased an older Oliver No. 5 Single row corn picker... I have been told that by placing a sheet of tin or metal over the husking bed they will pick corn without removing the husks, which is my desire. I never used a corn picker before and know very little about them. My question is? Has any...

Why did some people prefer barge box wagons over flare box wagons, and vice versa? Also, I have seen pictures of barge boxes with very low sides, and maybe 8-9 foot wide by 14-16 feet long

Anyone working on anything new they acquired recently or getting around to making some repairs on something they've had for awhile? For most of us, it would have to be in a heated shop, since the midwest weather has been less than friendly...

Has anyone done it? Thinking of setting up a hopper bottom bin with an air tube and a fan for next year. Ran out of room this year, and had some issues with a crib. Trying to set up something that will make it easier to handle ear corn to run it through the mixer.

Howdy, any interest in a stand alone 318 grinder or it can be put back on the picker. I have been using it to grind ear corn and I need to get a grinder/mixer, too many grains and additives to mix by hand after grinding the corn, also have a parts machine Thanks Larry

Ran across this No.10 sheller last week literally hanging in the shed where it was last taken off. Has probably been there since the late 60s early 70s. Long story short I hope to pick it up before the weekend. Hope to have it operating for next fall on my 64 2MH. There's not much literature on the No.10s or...

I bought this old Hardy hay and train elevator off C-list for $100. After working on it some I decided it needed some paint, not a restoration quality job, but I looked up an old brochure on one, and they looked to be red and grey so I went with that, and did more of a user type brush on paint job. A trip to the el...

Has anyone sped up the elevator on their New Idea pickers? I have a 324 with the 327 husking bed and were wanting to throw the ears a bit farther. The parts book doesn't show anything. Thanks Jim

Sorry, we had a few minor glitches with the printer, but we now have the final cost. Before you look at the cost of the book, I just wanted to let you know that the book is 802 pages with well over 1500 illustrations/photos--many in color; we used heavy, quality paper, which made the book almost 2" thick an...

i got this wagon hoist for a running gear I just bought and was wondering if anyone has an idea what brand it might be.

Checked my corn with the floating in water test and it's not quite dry enough yet. Thought I'd check in with you all. I'm sure chomping at the bit to try out the 323!

After the long search, and long tow home, it was definitely worth it! we got the corn picked 2 weeks ago right before this long spell of wet weather. Here's a few pics of our corn picking in WV

I thought I would show and tell some about my corn crib. The crib has been on our farm since horse and wagon days of corn picking. I found in the concrete, that the steps were added in 1963 probably to keep in from falling over, as the pillars were not on a footing, just in the ground about 6 inches. And they we...

I thought I'd start a new thread about getting my corn picker home, in hopes it might help some others. Last week I found a corn picker for a good price on Craigslist, the only problem was it was about 75 miles away by interstate. I had looked long enough to know it was a decent picker for a really good price....

My son and I restored this Electric 5130 Flare Box several years ago, then set it on an extra running gear I had and pushed it into the back of the shed.

I added this to the sticky above, but in case nobody reads that, I wanted to mention that Mr. Taylor passed away almost a year ago. The website is no longer valid. In 2015 he told a friend and me that someone was possibly going to take over his business. I have no idea if that happened. Perhaps the moder...
