Great video Roger. My uncle had the picker/grinder, we used to fill a 20x50 silo with high moisture ear corn for dairy cows. It was great in the tar and the New Idea did a very clean job picking and grinding. Thank you Roger.
My first job was on a small dairy and sheep farm. After we filled silo, all the rest of the corn was put up in cribs. We used a 324 picker on the 4020 power shift. We ground all that corn for the cows, heifers and any steers that we might have had. The rest of the corn went through a 324 picker sheller exactly like what you have there. We would store that corn in the chopper wagons, gravity wagons and if we needed, kicker hay wagons lined with plywood. We would mix corn whole with oats and feed about 300 to 400 ewes and their lambs. We didn't have to grind it because the sheep can chew it up. The last time I ran that picker sheller was in May of 93. I had actually changed jobs but on my way home from work I'd pass the field that we couldn't get done the previous fall. The field was wet and so was the corn. I'd stop in and the picker was waiting for me, hooked up and ready. I would fill the wagon and unhook it. The next night there was an empty wagon waiting.. And you aren't kidding. I have never seen cleaner corn from any other machine with the exception of my Minneapolis Moline model D sheller.
Awesome video Roger. The shelling unit on a picker always interested me. I am working on my new idea 330 picker. I want to pick corn next year with my 1755 oliver
@@rogermiller7411 back in 1997 the last year grandpa picked corn with the 330 new idea he actually pulled it with the 1655 that I also have now and it was all that it wanted but did a awesome job for such a smaller tractor. Thanks Roger and keep the great videos coming even from the shop if you find the time this winter
You have a very nice set up there Roger. I am going to guess that the guys who ran the picker grinder probably blew it into a silo for feeding throughout the next year. We do the same sort of thing on our dairy farm, only we combine the corn and run it thru a roller mill ahead of our ag bagger. It works out real nice that way we don't have to grind a batch of feed for the milk cows every week because it has been done already at harvest time. Thanks for the video.
I was going to say the same thing. I'm also betting for high moisture corn since that was starting to get popular as cow feed. We had a Farmhand blower that was also a hammermill. When it came out of the silo it smelled so good and we would get three to four more pounds of milk a day than if we fed corn out of the sealed silo running corn through the roller mill coming out..
Stop kidding yourself...on freeze frame I counted 7-8 kernels in that one shot and that probably doesn't include what the rollers are losing. It's great to step back in time but yesterday's technology does not come close to today's efficient harvesters.
You’re probably right. With the little acres that I farm can’t justify buying anything that is less than 10 - 30 years old. For its day, though, I think the New Idea did a good job.

Thanks. That’s a great story.
Beautiful. I worked with one for a couple years.

You’ll need the power of the 1755 to run that monster.

That makes sense.

That has be one of the most fuel effiecient harvesters you can get.
The days when full farm silos was money in the bank. And no reason to race home because satellite TV wasn't an option.
don't get off tractor with pto running!
