Great video. New subscriber. I grew up in WNY. In the early 1980’s New Idea corn pickers were common to see as well as corn cribs like yours. I never looked close enough at the hitch to know about the multiple hitch options. Very interesting to watch the repair. A farm I grew up close to in the early 1980’s picked corn with a 2 row 324 for many years up until 2000 with an IH 786 tractor. It was interesting to watch you open the field. Watching corn picking and chopping in the early .80’s it was always interesting to see the open pass as the tractor drove over corn to open the field and a new section. If you make a second picking video I hope to see you make the return pass over the corn you drive over in the opening pass to see how it picks it back up. It would also be interesting to see a turn around on the end to the next pass especially where you made the opening pass through the headland. Does a wagon make one round and collect 4 rows before it is full? Thank you for an informative video with great harvest views.
@@bigtractorpower First off, thanks very much for subscribing. I will be making another video of corn picking and I will try to show me picking up a row I knock over. I will be having contest every now and than giving away free merch for the right answer. I wish they still made those cornpickers, they usually have a sticker on them for a one year guarantee. It should say for a decade guarantee. Combining is coming up soon depending on the weather. Thanks again for watching!
@ thank you. Great to watch and very interesting. New Idea made pull type pickers through 1982 and the Uni self propelled through 1994. When you showed the gear hanging on I wondered how hard it is to get parts for these days. Thank you.
Your pin that broke is a shear pin which is supposed to break so you don’t end up with worse problems, like a stripped gear or broken chain. Usually a quick fix.
I remember doing this. We had a 706 International with the same picker. Our corn crib was 8 ft wide 20 ft tall and 100 ft long. Took a few acres to fill it. We ground everything for our cows and young cattle.
I remember when I was a kid, I was sitting on the back of my dad's hopper wagon while he was picking corn once. The tractor bogged down a little and then jerked a little. Dad said he looked back and just saw my feet in the air. I flipped off the back and did a flip and landed on my feet. When he got stopped, I was already on my way back up the ladder on the back of the wagon. After that, I sat down IN the wagon. I didn't get hurt, but it did surprise me a little.
Yep..Great Job. We put up shell and ear corn up here in "Siberia"- Northern Minnesota. We use Case and farmall and ford tractors here and new Idea one row. Had a CO-OP one row picker husker for years. Picked up a john deere picker that was ok. But still like my new idea. I use a gleaner for shelling. 2 row. Great Video. Family has been farming since 1836. Myself since 1972. We do hay, grain- oats, barley, wheat ,rye and corn. Then potatoes and produce. Slowing down on produce. Getting older..lol
How do you get the cobs back out of the round things? for feeding. In this country that crop is called maize, but it is only cut at this time of year for silage, as we don't get enough heat to get to the stage you are at. I don't grow any of it as it is too expensive to grow as it needs to be sown under plastic at the start to protect it from spring frost in April. And I don't have any of the special equipment needed to sow or cut the crop. I only have round bale silage equipment.
How does that work out for you? I never wanted to loose an ear. Always picked 3 rows down the middle by hand. Never liked driving over standing corn ever.
My old man would've beat my azz if i ran down two rows of corn and also when you went down the center of the field how do you know if you're in planter rows
That picker is a wide row picker. My rows are 36 inches, if my rows are nice and straight I'm ok. I went back with the picker and picked up most of the row I ran over.
@JustMakingIt-123 looks like you may have a slight chance today and tomorrow. There are some breaks in the forecast but it'll probably be light but enough to screw things up. I just took my last load in yesterday and got stalks disked.
That’s understandable. But out here we call it cob corn. Other places in the country call it ear corn it’s just where you are in the world We have large farms out here and they call it cob. No matter what I would like to thank you for watching and your comments we really appreciate it and hope to hear from you again soon

@@geedubb-q1u yep all good
Nice drone shots
Thanks for the video, I grew up in the 50s on a farm. Our picker was a mounted 2 row New Idea corn picker. I spend hour riding with my dad
Great video!
Thanks!

Very Nice! That's sounds like one thing you will never forget.
Wagon run over one row should off set the hitch for first pass.
@@joescheller6680 good catch!

@@HowardFarms1 Sounds to me like you could you tube channel. Lots of content. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Looking forward to the field being cut !
Thanks
i like your machine bro!
@@FarmLife-peaceful thanks it keeps on running!
Well, I grew up on a dariy farm in Sullivan Co. years ago.
I grew up in Sullivan County also, we had beef
Good time to be a beef farmer.
See what the future brings.
That New Idea 2 row corn picker was only "New" when 6 or 7 decades ago!
And I never "Peeled" corn off the cob, instead I "Shelled" corn.
They are working machines!
1928 it was first introduced

@@dawillieman9238 On the one end of the cribb there's boards in slots to open where the corn is. A good shovel works well to get it out.
No rain yet, but radar shows it coming in...
@@brian-k3es680 I'm still picking, need to get it in the cribb
Grew up on a dairy in Centre Co. PA.
Was wondering if you picked the opening rows by hand first, or drove just drove over them?
@@lynnniendorf5117 drove over them than went the other direction to pick it back up with picker
How does that work out for you? I never wanted to loose an ear. Always picked 3 rows down the middle by hand. Never liked driving over standing corn ever.
Move the hitch over on the picker so you only drive over 2 rows not 3.

You probably won't be shelling anytime soon, rain and flurries for the next 7-10 days.
@@Mad_Farmer912 yep looks that way I was going to combine.

Sorry but when you repeatedly called that ear of corn the cob you lost me! We farm a couple thousand acres and that was difficult to take lol.
