James, 200 bushel corn is very rare here in this part of Ky, but that JD picker I had, had trouble in 150 bushel corn. Especially in the mornings with wet fodder. It did do quite a bit better in the afternoon, but still would not come close to a New Idea or IH. The only time we ever clogged the NI is when those bolts in the snapping rollers would shear. Then it would pull the corn up by the roots. I sold the JD for a fraction of what it cost and have used New idea since. I would assume that parts are hard to find now for the JD. I had trouble getting some in the early 90's.
