New Idea Uni Harvester Picking Corn
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- Picking continues with the New Idea Uni Harvester Corn Picker. The 6-row picker is filling wagons pretty quickly, which was surprising to everyone because there was that much corn there. There are about 4 acres of corn left from chopping corn earlier this Fall. The Deer and Turkey in the area have definitely been sampling quite heavily, so we wanted to pick some to see if there was enough corn to set up the Owatonna 205 elevator in the Corn Crib. There obviously was. The 830 Case is running the Minnesota Gravity Box, and the Farmall B is running the elevator. We show the inside of the 839 Husking Bed and the conveyor. After a beautiful day of picking corn on our small dairy farm, the snow and wind start to pick up. Jen was thankful for her neck warmer that she purchased from a local small business, Rustic Rose.

Trinity Dairy was established in 2006, in Minnesota. Alan and Jennifer farm with their 5 children; Jessica, Justin, Jordan, Joshua, and Jason. We milk a mix of 33 Jersey, Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire cattle. We also enjoy sharing our family's love of Draft Horses and using them for logging and other farm work. Dairy Farming in Minnesota can be challenging, but it's a lifestyle we really enjoy. Subscribe today to watch our small family dairy farm and family grow while continuing to thank our Lord for the blessings we've been given.
Please know you are an inspiration to all the shoestring farmer's who are trying not to go into enormous debt to the big equipment makers. You have the happiest family on you tube. Maranatha
Looks like you can get over some acres with that ole girl. Used to take me forever one row at a time 🤣 really like feeding cob corn, better than the stuff mills grind nowadays. Used to add cob, can't even find a mill with them. I don't care what anyone says.... I'll go back to the old days anytime. Take care
love the brown swiss coming up for a treat
That UNI is quite a machine. 6 rows is high production picking. 👍🙂
The views from inside the picker were cool. Kind of neat to see how they work.
Great video , working hard, stay safe , enjoy , cherish the memories, your equipment is doing the job , great !
Visit youre country this summer and noticed that in Lancaster PA there were a lot of corncribs still half full so you are not the only one picking corn,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Always loved picking and putting up ear corn. Just felt like you were getting something done. Plus all the cool toys you get to run. Watch your fingers.
Best regards from Indiana.
The fresh picked corn must smell good to the cows.
Awesome video, I liked the views inside the picker.
Your wife did a great camera job Alan
Love the good old equipment.!
Pretty neat to see a 6 row corn picker. Seems to do a pretty clean job.
I like the views of how the picker works.
Red Power always pulls through 👊
Love watching you with your older equipment.You farm with the equipment that i remember seeing taking rides as a kid. You take us back in time. A Better time in this world when everything was more simple. No Computers to give you trouble with your Tractors or Combines. A+
Keep plugging away you’ll get it all done ❤👍
Very cool machine. Looks like the fix on the elevator is holding up well.
Something romantic about picking ear corn after dark!
Your videos are warm and leave me with a positive feeling. Your family farm requires 24/7 responsibility & devotion not only to the farm but to your beautiful family! I have said this before but what you as parents share with the children are some of the most significant lessons in life. And as parents, you provide & share the leadership with pure devotion to all the kids! In the future, each child will have a defining moment of enlightenment and insight that will clarify the depth of the blessings bestowed on them by their unique, loving parents!🙏
Globally there are tens of millions of children that have nothing but the air they inhale. Perhaps the big guy upstairs might appoint you both as Global Parents with the power to impart true meaning of love!🙏
Minnesota wagon and a Owatonna elevator made in Owatonna Mn. We use to be a big producer of farm equipment years ago. The elevator on your UNI is working great after the rebuild. Nice standing corn so you can run the snappers right under the ear.
That small farmall is perfect for running the elevator
Awesome video as always.Brings back childhood memories
Great job picking ear corn 🌽 Alan
Some of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Good action shots of the corn picker! Great production! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for another great video
Totally awesome, I sure miss those days.
That uni looks pretty good out there picking corn
Those were good camera shots. Amazing how companies figure out processes to move the ears through the machine.
that was a true cold start on the harvester
I love the brown Swiss when we used to milk I always wanted some but here in ohio the ones I found where too expensive but we had Holstein, Jersey, and Milking Shorthorn love the videos
Looking good harvesting alan
Looks like pretty good yield for about 4 acres. Great shots of the 839 working. As always really enjoyed the content and looking forward to seeing more. God bless all in the Klejeski family.
Wow!😆 nice shots of the uni!. Old girl got some what for in her yet!!!
Alan and Jen, Your hard work on the Farmall B is rewarded by starting up in such cold weather. But, as the day goes on I think Jen might of wanted to be in the Cab of your picker., The wind started blowing and the snow started falling that's really not a good place to be on a quad. And the fast ride home, in the dark on the Case had to be chilling but where was Jen? I pray for you all, Skip Ruckert
She was on the 4 wheeler, she said it was pretty chilly
Reliving my childhood memories watching this.
I love watching the inter workings of the machine so cool ours was the kind that you pulled behind the tractor and a hay rack. Love your videos reminds me of home. Tim😀
that Owatonna elevator was made in my home town.
those uni's are great for opening fields. one of the most respected farm family around us still use them for corn and chopping hay.
Cool
That B Farmall brought a smile to my face. My Grandpa's B is sitting in a pasture disasembled. I tried for 40 years to buy it and never have been able to. I love seeing one still earning it's keep.
Looks like that 86 day Corn has served you well AL. Fun video to see that old Uni still going strong. Thanks for sharing.
good ole days.dad and i picked corn in the snow many times.
I had an old gmc grain truck with a v6. You can’t mistake that sound.
Boy that brings back memories!!!
Very good job and God bless yall
The Uni-System brings back memories from 20 years ago, farming with my Grandpa. He had a 702 and 703 Uni, one with a picker and one with a sheller. We had a two-row, three-row and four-row head options and a dump cart. Both machines sounded exactly the same. Thanks for the good video!
Really enjoy watching and seeing how the older equipments works , Great video Alan as always regards from Ohio !
Good job! That uni looks like the way to go to pick corn. You have snow like we have here in northern lower Michigan. Keep up the good work and god bless you all!
We had a Uni-System with 292, Combine and Picker. It was a good machine.
Another very interesting video like the old equipment works really good
The high speed is cute!
I was fearing for you and Jenn’s safety those cows had numbers and were trying to get at that corn. Great video, nice to see the picker in action.
Great video Alan
Thanks for the ride along folks, I haven’t been on your channel in awhile, glad I caught this one, the uniharvester running pretty good from the look of it.
The two pieces of corn harvesting equipment I liked were the New Idea mounted picker and the Uni System. You could do so much with the Uni if you had a little thought. I think we had the 702 with a 292. We tried to find a four row head only could find a 3 row unit.
There used to be a lot of unies in my erea. Most of them are long gone. There was a dealer in Monticello Indiana and that's the last place I seen one. They used to use them for seed corn quite a bit. I too farm with equipment that is well used and know your struggles but keep up the good work
That's surprised me at that combine had a V6 love old iron nice stuff thanks for video I'm A Oliver not I just got an 1855 and 88 and I have a Farmall M built to a super m and a John Deere a
Cool, I like Oliver too, maybe some day, we'll get one.
Darnit! That's an antique tractor
Good job with the video. Nice shots of the husking roller’s and other shots. Our neighbor had a Uni-system but only had the chopper and combine attachments.
Gotta love farming up here in Siberia..lol. I'm an hour north of yous guys. Palo- Aurora area
Yeah that's for sure! Lol
@trinitydairy yeah I milked 40 jersey/ Ayrshire herd til 7 years ago. Bought old family farm and fixing up to milk again here..ugg. 170 year old house..lol barn built 1902.
That's cool! Do you have a market lined up for your milk?
Great video
Always enjoy your videos all the great camera angles of how everything works stay safe and warm and have a blessed Christmas thanks for sharing
you did a great joe fixing picker elevator and is working again
RHIS MIGHT BE THE NICEST VIDEO THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. VARIOUS CAMERA ANGLES MEAN LOTS OF WORK, NICE work.
Another great video, like all the different camera shots, thanks for posting, God Bless
God bless u Allen hope u an family had a merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
The UNI, now thats a "massive beast" like the 1066. #callback
What a sweet rig.
Another great video Slow and steady wins the race
One other problem they had with the units was having a exhaust underneath the hood above the motor. It held a lot of heat an sometimes the motor get to hot an started a fire
straight pipe them. sounds nice then too
Those old girls wanted some of that corn ya should have thrown out a few for them LOL PS some real good camera shots.
Jen fed them plenty, that's why they kept coming back for more.
Geees even the cows want to help!
You did a nice job on the elevator. I put some plywood on the back half of my wagons when I picked. It was about 2 feet high and it saved a lot of cobs and you could fill the wagons a little fuller. I sit run my 704 but the sprayer stays on it now 500 gal and 60 foot booms, got a light bar for a AB straight line and a GPS from the truck to tell me how fast I'm going. Sure beets the foam markers I started out with.
Love your videos
Great video, takes me back to the farm. Your shelling a lot of corn. Your fan speed might be to low or your beater is to fast. New Idea made great ear pickers but terrible shelling units. Ok silage but no larger than three rows two was best.
Really enjoy watching your videos keep them coming
I love that uni!! Didn't you.say it was. GM v6 or am I wrong on that? Nothing wrong with a few loads done...a step closer!! Pretty neat seeing y'all finish up in the snow,!! They sure.are a.touch nosey😉😁😁😁 Thank you both, great camera angles too!! 😁😁😁👍👍
Yeah, it's a GM V6
@@trinitydairy Thank you, I thought that's what you had said before 😁
looks like a lot more corn than you first thought dont think it will go to waste cows will love it that picker fastinates me where did it come from?
My grandpa bought it from another farmer, down by New Germany, MN.
Love your vids
What year & make is the tractor by the corn crib , amazing , thank you for sharing .
It's a 1946 farmall B
Another great video A&J Jennifer camera work is very good your young stock look good has sturgeon lake been missing out on the snow?
Yeah, we don't have to much snow, but we're supposed to get a bunch next week.
My Grandpa liked Owatanna equipment. He had an elevator like yours. That Uni is really neat, if it ever wears out beyond repair, would you consider getting another picker??
Yeah I would get another picker, I don't know if I would get another uni, or just a pull type one again.
Nice video
It looks like the husking bed might need some attention, based on how big a proportion of the ears that are not husked going into the wagon.
A lot of the rubber husking fingers are missing
It all will grind and is actually great for feed because of the scratch factor and how cattle stomachs work.
thank you
WOW! 6 rows at atime, corn was flyin out that snoot.
Hopefully in a few years you can get enough acres to fill up those corn cribs. As for the ear problem you have you could just build sone extensions to the box.
You didn't get your rubber deflector on the shoot yet, in between the thousand and one other things to do
One complaint that we always got at the implement. Dealership on a uni was the husky bed was not as clean of a job as it could be on Ears of corn.
But I worked on a lot of them and we had a Canning company that actually bought 8 units and put on a stripper head search for picking sweet corn. And you know, there was always in mud. In what conditions?
Jen looked like she was cold 😆
She's always cold
@@trinitydairy lol sounds like my Wife.
I'm always giving her a hard time with lines like, "aren't you descended from Scandinavians and northern Europeans also?"
I tend to actually like the cold myself.
@@trinitydairy like most women 😆
Another great video! Did I spot a JI Case combine setting in the background?
Yeah, it's a 660, but it doesn't run anymore.
Please stay safe.❤
What motor is in that new idea I know the older ones had V 8 then the newer ones Straight 6 cylinder motor then on to the diesel good machine for sure
It's a GM V6 gas motor
Great Vid thanks👍
So after the corn comes in from the header, you have screw like rods that carry it up to the top of the machine behind the cab, and a rubber paddle roller bar tries to knock the corn leaves off, and a fan blows any stalk and leaf material out the side, and the corn falls into the back and up the conveyor and out the back into the trailer? Is that how this machine works?? Do the cows eat the cobs as well or just eat the corn off of the cob?
It has a conveyor, that carries the corn up from the head to the top of the machine, there it has a fan mounted on the side, that sucks the loose material off, and throws it out the side, Then the corn falls onto rollers that spin, and pull the husks off the cob, it also has rubber fingered wheels, that spin, above those rollers to loosen up the husks,
Once the cobs get to the end of the rollers, they fall into the rear conveyor, and go into the wagon.
loved the inside shots of that picker in action is it 30 in rows ?is that a new idea head ?what kind of engine is in the picker ?would love to see a more indepth look at the picker never saw one like it good luck keep all the snow up there
Thats a 401 V6 big block GM gas.
Yeah, it's 30in rows, it is a new idea head, it's grey, because it's a little newer, after they went to grey color, and it's the 401 V6 gas motor.
Minty ol girl I have a ol 2 row pull type I should pull out
I should have waited
When did you get that picker Al?
My grandpa bought it a few years ago.
an antique, but hey, it works
Dad, we're only seeing where our feed comes from.
Is the uni yours, or do you borrow/rent it? I know the feeling, I was going backwards down a hill on ice! Thanks for a lonely big hemlock halfway down that stopped me from going over the bank! that was too much excitement for this guy!
It's ours, my grandpa bought it a few years ago.
Is that the same piker that got smooshed in the old barn? 🐂🐄🙂
Yes it is!
That's awesome. Love it! Thanks
