Awesome to see this on TH-cam. I just bought the same two row New Idea picker. I know I need parts included a roller two tires and those finger starfish looking things. So many of mine are broken off. You said your gonna order them for yours so I wanted to check with you and see if you found a good parts source ? Thank you.
Looks like a handy equipment setup. Glad to see the older equipment back in action! Not sure what corn seed you're using, but I switched to open pollinated since it has higher % protein. Reid's Yellow Dent has about 3x, Bloody Butcher about 4x, and Blue Hopi 5x what many of the commercial hybrid/gmo varieties have. A pig farmer I know saw 20% larger pig litters after switching to open pollinated corn. So add some to your test plans for next spring. Open Pollinated seed needs longer spacing (8-12in) vs hybrids with vertical leaves that can go to 6in spacing (I planted too close my first year with it). I use 30in rows and am experimenting with 15in this spring to increase population while giving more plant to plant space and weed control. Look up youtube presentations from Rick Clark and Erin Silva for how to use Winter Rye/Spring Oats for weed control.
That’s good to know especially since I have some hogs, this year it was just some leftover 113 day dekalb corn seed I got from a friend but I’ll definitely keep that in mind this upcoming spring
Oh, Iowa country girl, has a four row corn planter and a picker just like yours for sale because they are going to 30 inch rows. They are Christians just like you and post a Bible verse at the end of each video that they put out on Monday.
Nice looking corn picker
Looks like all IH equipment man new subscriber
Love seeing the older equipment, it is a challenge keeping old stuff working.
I had a new idea, ten single Roll corn picker it worked quite well for me, Stay with it kid
You need to get that fan going. It'll vlow those husks out of there.
It turned out to be good looking corn. It was good to see old equipment run again.
