This is what followed me home last weekend. It's a 1952 6A. It needs a few things, but it obviously has not sat outside much. Most of the colored parts are still the right color and the original wood bottom in the wagon elevator is still intact. Unfortunately I won't be able to get it inside till sprin...

Bought this 2ME on Monday. Hope to get it home soon. Found this thru a post on Facebook. It was advertised on craigslist. It is a very very nice picker that has not seen many acres. Its still polished up even. Has been inside in a heated/cooled shop on car dollys. Came with many extra parts along with mount...

Could the powers that be do something about the spam concerning bran machines, rice mill machines, and so forth? Picking season will be here shortly and this year's activities might just as well appear uncluttered.

What little I know about corn pickers, I know that the mounted pickers are HEAVY. And there are lots of stories out there about tractors breaking rear axles with a picker on them. Was there a make of picker that was worse for breaking axles than others? Which brand tended to be heavier, IH, New Idea, John...

Just wanted to say hello, I discovered this forum the other day. I live in eastern NC. There are not a huge number of pickers around, but a few. When I was growing up my great-uncle had a JD 100 (the one without the husking bed) that he ran with an Allis D-15 and I was always fascinated by it. I collect IH, my fa...

I finally got my Case 425 mounted to the 400. I did it a week ago Saturday, but haven't had any time to post it. Here is a few pictures of it.

Picked 2 wagon loads of corn with the 6000 this week and got some video. Picker worked great. The 6000 and the 12 roll husking bed is sure a big step up from the 961 and 8 roll bed. The field only averaged about 80 bushels but had spots that were probably 125+ and some low spots that was almost 0. Way too wet thi...

Picked a few loads of corn for the first time in 3 years with the Avco New Idea. Late model picker with 12 roll husking bed. Pulling it with 1980 John Deere 4240 Quad-Range that just turned 7,000 hours and original paint that stills looks pretty good.

Today was a good day to pick some ear corn. I visited my friend, Josh Golombeski, at his place to shoot some pictures of him picking ear corn with his Farmall Super M and NI 319 picker. I even took a turn and picked a load. There was some good corn in this field. The crib will fill up fast!!

grinder220 · grinder220

Just curious at what moisture do you start pickin ear corn? I plan on doing a few acres this fall for the first time. Planning on filling a round wire crib and maybe keeping some on the wagons.
