For those of you on this board, you know I have always dreamed of starting my own corn picking business. This afternoon, at 3:18 p.m. CST, my dad called me after making a seed corn sale at a new farm. He talked to the customer about my love for corn picking, and working on farm equipment. He took my dad out to the shed and showed him a 703 or 803 (I was so excited I forgot what he said) Uni Harvester with a 737 husking bed and a 444, 4 row wide head. Brand new motor, replaced the GM V6 gas with a GM 282 gas, with all the parts and accessories and the option of a few corn cribs, guy just wants it out of his shed. Dad told me it was mint. For Dad to say mint, I mean, I about peed my pants. He picks apart flaws on a brand new toy I pull out of a box. But "mint" used for a farm implement? He said the gathering chains weren't nearly worn, and the only thing the guy has ever fixed on it besides replacing the engine was the sprocket for the elevator, which broke and was welded together so they could use it until they got the part. The part has been hanging on the wall of the shed, as the sprocket has held together nicely. At $1500, I couldn't go wrong. Dad and I are going over on Saturday to pick it up, bring it over to my neighbor's, and pick his corn because he is desperate to find a custom picker. Well, here I am. I will be here next fall, running a New Idea Uni 4 row picker and a Farmall Super M under a 2M-HD. Anyone have any suggestions for a business name? I already have designed the back of my jacket, not stitched yet, with a Super M and the 2M-HD. I have always considered "Harvest Red Custom Corn Picking." I have two people NOW ready to hire me as their picker, and I am going to advertise heavily in my area to gain business. This is so awesome. Here I am stuck at college supposed to be studying for finals and I'm dreaming of my picking enterprise. Wow. Merry Christmas, Timmy!!!!!

Product Review - by Staff. When we finally checked out the 3000 PSI North Star, the whole story chaned. This unit was equipped with an 11 HP Honda engine with fuel shutoff, adjustable flow and optional syphon degreaser dispenser. It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
