What a great little website! Seeing pictures of picking corn brings back a flood of memories, from short sleeve weather to 20 below. If only those days could be lived again. Like the time my dad was sick and my uncle was running the picker and mom was hauling in, waiting and waiting, from a distance,for...

I have an older FarmRite corn picker. It's a 1 row - semi-mounted machine that fits on the back of and 8N or early 100 series Ford. It is from the late 40's. I THOUGHT it was a David Bradley or Dearborn, but ti is not like either of those machines. It still has the decals (somewhat) on it and it says "Farm...

Anybody know where sets of these are? I saw a poster on here say he was moving his 2-MH from 560 to his 706, I take you have brackets then? I would love to run my 2M-HD on a 706 eventually as I plan on buying one. Would it fit on a 756 or 856 since the tractors are virtually the same? Brackets for the 06 series...

I was wondering if anyone needed new rubber flight for the elevator chain. On my NI 300 it was missing a few and they are all wore out. I took a utility knife and cut the sidewall out of a tire and used it to make some new ones. Now it can haul 3 ears up. The old ones would haul up one ear. I just took a grinder to the...

I have a New Idea 300 and only used it twice. I hope to use it this year but I noticed a little problem last time. On the front where the corn gets pulled in by the 2 rollers they are supposed to pull the stalk down and then rip the ear off. I noticed the ear would go right down with the stalk on about 1/3 of the stal...

Anyone else have any pictures or stories to share about your experiences of picking ear corn this fall? Or picking with a picker-sheller? It seems like there was more posted here last year than there has been so far this year. So if you got out your "toys" this fall and used them a bit, let the r...

I had a part load of ear corn left that wouldn't fit in the cribs when I picked corn earlier this fall. So I got out my John Deere 43 corn sheller, set it up and shelled the corn on the wagon.
