What is the difference between a No. 6 and a 6A
New Idea ctwo row corn picker?

Also, what would be the best way to haul one 200 miles short of hiring a semi truck.

Thanks

When I was a little kid, my dad pulled one home behind his car. we are talking in the late 1950 era.

I"ve hauled 2 similiar pickers on my 16" utility trailer. I winch them up backwards with 1 tire (on the snout side) on the bed up against the railing, letting the frame of the picker (elevator side) slide up the railing. You have to remove 1 tire to clear the fender and be careful of your height, but it"s doable. Why not try it? Hiring a professional hauler would cost way more than this thing is worth.

My memory is foggy on this, but I think the 6 had the elevator out the side for a wagon towed next to the picker, and the 6A had the elevator out the back for a wagon towed behind the picker.

When I started farming in '72 I bought an already ancient 6A. The elevator went to the rear. Wood in the elevator was already rotted out with age, all slip clutches were frozen with rust. Always did have, and still do have, good impression of NI pickers, but that individual was junk. Fixed all day, ran all night until it broke....again. Typical for young farmers starting from scratch.

I had a 6A and the elevator was out the back for a towed wagon. I did not know there was a 6.

Hum, those buggers don't get small very well for hauling - other than the elevator folds down at least. I believe for the initial haul they shipped with the elevator off & standing on their rear. hitch straight up? You might spend more on shipping than the picker cost!
