To go back into sort of ancient history, the two row pull type sold in the 1940's was a 6A. A good picker in many ways but with some problems. The elevator into the wagon would occasionally pull an ear back and stop the chain. If field conditions were wrong, the snapping rolls would plug like crazy. Then came the 300 in about 1955. It was sort of a warmed over version of the 6A. Some of the problems were fixed (sealed bearings, the main gear drive ran in oil, the wagon elevator did not plug up much) but the snapping roll plugging was unchanged and bad. Then the Superpicker series came out, and with some changes in snapping roll placement and design, it was unusual for them to ever plug.

I just realize I've run all 3. Still have the 300 & Super - actually most of the pieces of the 6A are still laying around here & there....

We have a 324.Good machines.You have to look at these pretty good as they're getting old and worn out.There seems to be alot around here because not too many people pick ear corn anymore,and have been sitting in sheds for years.
Since we went to 30" rows we use an Oliver 83 picker and it also works real well.The secret to good ear corn is mostly picking corn at the right time to prevent shelling. ~brad

The 3xx machines were called Superpickers by New Idea. 2-row pull-type superpickers have a base unit and a processing unit. 324 is a 2-row wide gathering unit, 325 is a 2-row narrow. 326 is the 8-roll husker that fits on either, 327 is the 12-roll. There was also the 315 sheller and the 318 grinder that would fit these gathering units. Earlier models were 311 2-row wide, and 312 2-row narrow, with the 313 8-roll husker. Sheller and grinder were the same. 305 and 319 were 2-row mounted base units for narrow-front tractors. There were huskers and shellers for them, but I don"t recall the numbers offhand. 309 was a 1-row snapper, no husker. 310 was a one-row picker, replaced by the 323. Look similiar, but major difference was the husking bed, lots of other small improvements.

As a side note for New Idea owners, Beiler"s Machinery LLC in Leola, PA is making new and rebuilt parts for New Idea superpickers. (717) 656-9733

Single row or two row? Single rows are #7, 10, 323. The sevens and tens are really getting old and I haven't seen a decent one in years. 323 is a good picker but many of them are worn out now.
