A boy I know has picked up a 311 picker with the 313 husking bed. He is wanting a single row picker. I have two 601 pickers. Both of my 601 pickers run although one is rougher than the other. I grew up using New Idea snappers but I have never used one of their pickers. He is wanting me to trade both of my pickers for his 311. I would rather have a pull type picker for sure,but this picker has set for many years. It would take some work. Plus it is a wide row. I looked at his picker and the snapping rolls are good and tight but I noticed some of the rubber flaps are gone off the fingers on the husking bed. So what's your guys opinion? Was the 311 a decent machine? Even if it was a bad machine it should still be more desirable than the Ford pickers I would think but I could be wrong. All help and knowledge is appreciated.
