New Idea No.6A 2 Row Corn Picker

I need to know a little bit about this model. Age, design flaws, good and bad points etc...

Thanks

Did you post the pics of this machine over in the gallery????? Took me a while to identify it....

The bottle neck is the elevator to the wagon - too narrow for modern corn yields, cobs don't fit in & they spill forward. However, the husking bed would not go too much faster, so that's about what it can do, no point trying to speed up the elevator.

I had a heck of a time with wrapping on the snapping rolls if conditions were damp - take a knife with you.

I'd watch the open main gear that runs things by the pto, and the open gears that run the snappers. I always put a bead of grease on them, they take a lot of wear for open gears & don't know if available or how much $$$$ they would be....

If it's running, should handle under 10 acres a year, we did about 30 a year with ours for a long time.
