I had the opportunity to use both the husking bed and sheller and both units ran well. This picker had been sitting in a shed since 1976. After some TLC my dad and I got this picker running, nothing major just lots of lubrication and adjustments. [Reply]   [No Email]

I really like to see corn pickers at work, we have a Deere237 mounted, but it shells to much corn on the ground.I have considered putting a 234 IH on a 3020 Deere tractor but the correct brackets probaly can't be found anymore.

I picked a load yesterday with a NI324 and the shelling was terrible. This was about 13%. Most was in the wagon but still not as nice looking as yours. [Reply]  [No Email]

A guy near my dad's place still picks 20-40 acres of corn for his cattle, uses a Farmall 560 and 234 picker like yours. Thanks for posting the pictures. [Reply]  [No Email]

I always pivoted on my left leg and pitched to the left. My hip would get so sore that I could hardly walk by the time the corn was in the bin. And I still have trouble with my hip to this day! Sure was glad when we put hoists on the wagons. [Reply]  [No Email]

My brother and I came home from school to find three barge boxes full of corn to be shovelled into a crib and 2,000 chickens to be fed every evening in the fall. I think my hands are what they are today(large, hard, thick fingers) from being wrapped around a #14 grain scoop. Great pics. [Reply]  [No Email]
