New Idea Uni Picker photo

Thought I might as well get this posted to see what I pick with. It is a 1974 704 Uni with the 401 cu GMC V6 truck engine, variable speed trans. Mounted on it is a 737 husking bed. The 3 rw corn head is the only trouble spot, it has just to many chains underneath. Most of the time it works great and is a picking devil. Some times it doesn't husk as clean as it should due to the fact that the corn head is the stripper plate type the same as a combine and just to much trash comes in for the husking bed to clean out. Maybe a snapping roll head would cure the problem, but then you might sacrifice some shelled corn staying in the field. The cattle can eat a little ground up corn husk too.

How much acreage do you run that machine over? We always used the neighbors Uni's until we bought a cheap 715..... ....The 715 has less down time, but you can't pick ear corn, blow snow, or chop with it either..... ..

Doesn't matter, your machine is light years better to run then a mtd. picker ;-D

I just 'inherited' a Uni 705 power unit with a 737 combine unit on it. The motor is a diesel, V6 and it's a four cycle. A friend of mine alluded to the thought that it might be a GM motor...any idea what make it might be? It needs a bit of work and that info might be rather useful.
