Anybody in N America making new corn pickers

Farmallb · Jan 27, 2015

Got to wondering since I play a game called 2013 farm simulator. With the help of my nephew I got this equipment.
46 A JD
506 IHC
Steel Wheel looks like Fordson
steel wheel 2 bottom plow
Ferguson tandem 3pt disc, cause I couldn't find a small pull type
4 section 3pt harrow<, cause I couldn't find a pull type harrow,br>4 row planter, cause I couldn't find a 2 row,
Case grain drill, steel wheel
NH rake
Ferguson suare bailer with bale accumulator
2 ferguson tractors, one with b ale grab, as the game wont let me hand pick the bales out of the field
Ferguson cultivator
I forget what breed of combine
ZMAJ=ZEMUN Corn picker
flat bed hay rack
grain wagon

I couldn't find that that picker actually exists anywhere in the world, but that got me to wondering if anybody was still making pickers new.

Oxbo still makes sweet corn pickers.

There are 3 companies in eastern Europe that still make new corn pickers. SIP, ZMAJ, and another that I can't remember the name right now. Countries of origin are Slovenia, Serbia, and I believe Poland.

several years ago Vermeer was working on a 6 row, I saw the prototype but never heard anymore about it.

Just the amish but picks corn one row and on ear at a time!! lol There is some great european machines that pick from one row on up. They dont pull wagons. they use the combine concept with a bin and it has an elevator to unload or a dump bin. They have some fantastic ear corn handling equipment too.More modern than anything Ive seen here. Cheack it out on youtube. ear corn picking.

Deere and New Idea made them into the late 1980's and at that point stopped building them. At one of my first jobs out of college I had a co-worker who bought a new 325 New Idea in 1987 as the dealer told him that NI discontinued production and what inventory existed at that point was it. I think this dealer had to get that 325 from another NI dealer. The JD 300 is in my long green line catalog for 1987 but when I looked at one from 1990 the 300 was not in it.

Seed corn is still harvested in the ear, so there has to be something.

The one in my game is a 2 row. It is red with yellow lettering. Somewhere I found that it was Serbian made. As you say, it has a bin. IHC made pickers this way in the 20s and 30s. BUT this one, the bin hyd is tilted over the side and dumps out the top into waiting wagon or truck. The picker is hyd shifted to the L side when dumping to make the overreach of the bin tilt out further away from the pulling tractor, so that one can bring another tractor with wagon up close beside the pulling tractor on the picker.

I have the Z brand from Serbia in my game. Couldn't find an N American one.

Those videos are something, they really have a system for ear corn with the creeping elevator for filling the long crib and all.

Wondering what you paid for that 325 in 1987, I picked up a nice 324 (wide row) 12 row husking bed, a few years back for $1000 dollars. They are nice machines.

Not sure if you have heard of it, but go to:

www.FS-UK.com/downloads

Then click on 2013 in the top right corner, and you should be set. They have a LOT of mods, all easy to download and install. There is a really nice Farmall 350, 560, and a full set of 1086-1586 series stuff... Lots of equipment too!

I have moved on and bought the 2015 version, and I hate it. Spent $400 on my gaming computer to try to update it to the new stuff, and it can still just barely handle it. Graphics are messed up, equipment controls are all backwards....

Think I am going back to 2013!!!! Bryce

It would have been my co-worker and I do not recall. If I had to guess I would say under 10,000 dollars as this guy did not have a whole lot of money to spend on the farm. I think a very good deal on a 2 row forage harvester with corn head less pick up head would have been around that. It was not all that many years ago (probably a dozen) that I priced a NH 790 for a little over 15,000 for the base.

Come to our Half Century Of Progress Show at Rantoul Illinois this August. There will be many makes & model of combines & corn pickers running in the fields. Followed with moldboard plowing.

Oxbo is the standard picker used in the seed corn production industry. Mostly 6 row units. They have a rubber conveyor to hoist the ears to the dump cart. The conveyor swings 180 degrees....so you can pull a cart and also have a cart along side.
