This weekend I was picking ear corn at a neighbor's farm and he has a very late model NI 323. However, he is not happy with how much shell corn the picker makes. In comparison, ear corn from my IH 234 was making half as much shell corn as his NI 323. His snapping rolls are set as close as he can get them. He has h...

Members, a friend of mine has been tossing around the idea of using his NI 319 on a Super M to pick 30" rows. He picked off some 30" rows on the headlands, slow but steady with no issues other than the tire nudging the next row. Which got him to think about using a narrower tire, but taller tire something aro...

Wondering if anyone had a pair of rubber snapping rolls for a Ford picker. Putting one together for a friend and the quartz rolls on it have all the quartz falling off. He said he would prefer rubber ones but would probably take whatever he can get. Thanks

How tall is a 2MH mounted on a M Farmall with 13.6-38 tires? Not concerned about the height of the elevator, just the picker on the tractor at its tallest point. thanks, Al

How about it fellas!?! Let's see your pictures or hear your stories about wooden corn cribs...long and narrow or the double sided or the simple snowfence variety.

Here is an interesting corn picker, a 227 used one season then parked in the shed for whatever reason. Someone needs to check it out and buy it. It sells this Sat. Aug. 6. Looks like they dug it out of the shed and got it mobile on a mover. Holbrook, Nebraska. http://www.hprealty.net/AUCPurinton.htm

What are the odds of finding new snapping rolls for a NI 323 picker? Where can I get them? How much are they going to set me back? Kind of a different question: Has anyone ever tried to fabricate stripper plates for a NI 323? I have a corn picking friend who is interested in a way to have stripper plates on hi...

Ever since my first participation in the corn picking event at the Don Struthers farm near Collins, IA. in 2013, I've wanted to take a group photo of all the M-powered pickers. I was able to do that on Saturday, October 15, 2016.

Been talking up a storm with Josh about farming stuff. A question came up about corn pickers. What were the new prices of pull type and mounted corn pickers in their day? Does any one have information about the new price of corn pickers?

I have a new idea picker and am thinking about replaceing the rubber fingers on the husking bed with rubber paddles. Do the rubber paddles do as good a job as getting the husk off as the fingers do ?

what is wrong with my corn picker? When my corn is on the conveyor , the conveyor stops with corn on it before it gets to the wagon, something is slipping I think. Anyone know how to fix this!

Ok, it'll be pickin' time soon and I have a couple of questions.
