These are some pictures I took of my New Idea 319/322 combination about a week ago. It has been to the field now and everything works fine. Hopefully I'll get some pictures of it in action and get them posted at a later date.
Very nice combination. Is that a 2520 tractor? I noticed you even have a single front wheel on the tractor. I have one but have yet to use it. I found a 227 picker this summer and now have it on my 3010. I hope to get some pictures of it posted soon. I'm still interested in a NI 319 if you would ever happen to find another one. Looking forward to some action photos of your picker. Thanks
Yes - that's a 2520 under there (sorry I forgot to mention it). The tractor already had a narrow front on it and I would have used it that way but I found out a relative of mine had a single wheel sitting in the shed and he was willing to sell it. It's working OK in the field but I think I need to get in and clean the radiator - after picking 3 or 4 loads it starts to run hot. It's fun to do 10-15 acres this way but I'm sure glad we don't have to pick all of our corn this way anymore! I found another 319 this summer and I had hoped it would be a good picker for someone else but it's just too far gone and there are still some nicer ones out there so I'm parting it out. I have already robbed a few parts off of it for myself.
