ok you guys in the corn belt. can you still get parts for new idea corn pickers? dad bought one after i went into the Army then sold it when i came home.
second, will a SC pull a 1 row picker? dad pulled his picker with my H. wish i still had the tractor.
maybe wrong page, but see a lot of new idea pickers behind farmalls.

If you get a 323 picker (the newest and best 1-row New Idea made), this shop in Pennsylvania makes and rebuilds a lot of parts for them, since they are still widely used by the Amish in the area.

Agco has some parts. I bought new fingers for over the husking rolls a few years ago from them. Might have to find the right dealer that has the patience to take a look.

Super C will pull it fine. We pulled old Woods Bros plus wagon for years with Super C, in some kinda muddy conditions some years, it did great!

Well depends on what model picker . Yes there are some new parts out there but ya would have to find someone that still had them. Now would a S C pull one maybe on flat ground and maybe with a Small wagon behind it but not on hilly ground . You do not have enough tractor and the tail would waq the dog. Even a weighted M with a one row and a bigger gravity wagon can be not enough tractor on hills and soft fields. Always think SAFETY and keep your hands and arms out of a running picker .

I'll second that thought. Shut off the PTO and let everything STOP before you work on a picker. I'd rather turn the pto shaft by hand with a bar than lose something precious...

I would think a SC would pull the 1-row just fine if you don't have too many steep hills and a smaller gravity box. I pulled a 2 row with my 340 for while but the hills were too much for him. Some parts can be hard to find. I had to go to a junk yard to get a new gear box for my picker last year. other stuff like the gathering chains are standard sizes and easily found online. your cheapest route in the long run may be to look for a second one to use as a parts donor.
