Has anyone got an arrester on their unit? My McCormick owner's manual has it listed under special equipment and would like to find one. Would make a neat accessory!

My buddy found me a Sheller don't know what no. it is but this sheller has never been used, in the barn, so what is it worth? My thought was $500 for the sheller to high or to cheap? This guy also has the 2MH picker that the sheller was bought with, used very little and in the barn. My buddy also found...

Here are some pics from this fall. The first five are of me playing with the "red" pickers. The next three are of my son doing some serious work with the John Deere. This year we picked a little over ten thousand bushels of ear corn. We harvested the majority of the corn with the combine.

Finally got some picks back from this fall's picking. I didn't think I had gotten any pictures, but a friend snuck over and took some pictures while I was combining soybeans in the afternoon. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!!

Anyone here have any thoughts on growing early season corn for picking? I would like to have a demonstration day, but of course fall harvest gets in the way, and with 4200 acres, we can't take days off, nor can our neighbors. So, if I plant short season corn EARLY, how early will it be? We typically pla...

I'm trying to post pictures of the 2MH picker I bought last year. I havn't got it home because the guy has not moved his four row corn head from behind it. That my excuse anyway. I know it a little dusty but should wash up pretty good. I found some information in a parts catalog I thought might come in hand...

I was just curious if anyone has picked any ear corn yet? I would like to pick a little here in SW Minnesota but from what I've been hearing from the ones who have started combining corn is that it is already 14-18% moisture - too dry for picking!

I just went and looked over a farm aution south of Syracuse Mo. on D hiway and there will be a 227 JD picker and a Ford two row mounted picker on the sale this Saturday Sept 29, 2007. The 227 had M mounts and I think he had the Ford picker on a Ford tractor. Both looked useable. -- Edited by RFP at 04:46, 2007-09...

These pictures are from last fall when I had the 234 on my 560. Then I bought a 2MH from a retired farmer and decided to put that on the 560 because they are the same vintage. This summer I found a 706 to use with the 234. I found the mounts needed but I'm still looking for a radiator air scoop and set of engin...

I have a guy looking for his dad's old corn sheller that came with his dad's 234. What I need to know well the sheller work with a 2MH? If so good, if not why?

Took me awhile, but I got the tractor and picker ready to go. Took the tractor and picker to the show, left it, came back, left rear tire has blown out. Was a bad tire anyways, bought one that matches the right one. Here are some pictures of my beast of burden.

I'm cleaning up some dead pickers I have sitting out back. The 313 and 326 huskers will donate rollers and other rebuilable parts to a shop in PA as cores. The 311 and 324 gathering units can be combined together to make one good unit, and I'm contemplating doing this and installing a 314 sheller. My qu...

I saved it from the iron man. Can't believe that he would let the iron man have his dads old picker. But would not sell it to me for scrap price. This is a nice picker that's been kept in the barn.

Hey all, I got my 234 in about tip top shape, but I need to replace the main drive chain, which I believe is #60, and I got an idler sprocket for it also, as mine didnt come with it, and I didnt realize it til I twisted the chain. Its the one that is on the frame towards the right side of the picker. Thanks all Ton...

Hey, been kinda dead around here lately, just wondering if any of you got all your corn in and what do you have for a planter set up. We use a IH 656 and a 56 6 row planter. Didnt get to plant any wide rows for my 234 so ill just have to take one row at a time.

Cornfed Cornhusker · Cornfed Cornhusker

I see there is another 2PR on ebay that looks to be in really good shape. Its in Paris, IL. Alittle far from me. I got no room anyhow, already got one 234 in the shed and dad's NI 325 in there. Hopefully find me a sheller and 656 mounts for my 234 (hint hint, Tim) Tony

Has anyone ever seen the model #10 (1 row pull) in a semi-mtd. configuration? Some of my literature shows it was offered as a semi-mount. I have a #10 I just acquired.
