Well— I know this is the 3rd single row 323 we have had, none had them when the came in. I would go to the scrap yard and look at the 324’s and see if they are the same. We had one years ago, don’t remember what it had? May still be able to purchase new from your dealer?

Thanks for the pictures. I see it's in there just like the two row. I wonder why I haven't seen these on any one row units before? I wonder what the chances of finding one to add on mine would be?

Yes, I would have imagined so! Back when we picked....We would grow a field of corn, chop most of it, Dad would leave a guesstimated amount on the edge of the field to dry down and pick based on how good the corn looked while chopping. We never ran out of corn to grind for feed and we never sold much. When I began trying to grow the farm and grow more cash crops, I began to ask to see where we were as a baseline. Things changes so fast.....never got around to that detail. Man what a year. |

Thanks, interesting! I always kind of wondered how it converted back when we picked, but I never looked it up. Thanks again.

I went and weighed a wagon today. One half acre gave me 5120 pounds net. So that is 5 tons per acre ear corn. Went and found my old Cornell ag text and that comes out to about 130 bushels shell corn per acre. Should have just trusted the old man!

Yep! Our seed guy, several years ago, said something to the effect of "OH! You're picking some of this?" And he had a hybrid he offered that was still more/less conducive to being picked for various reasons. That of course is gone now, and I don't miss it! |

The last crib of ear corn I measured had 1 1/2 feet of shelled corn in the bottom of the crib. Corn now is hybrid for shelling not picking. I have shovelled my share of ear corn! For a farmer with cattle ear corn was a cheap way of storing and cattle can utilize the cob.

Up until about 4 years ago, we would pick ear corn and grind the whole ear, mixed with oats, minerals, molasses, and mineral salt for grain for feeding the steers. Our old crib was getting in rough shape, floor undermined and caving in, holding water, would rot a lot of corn. I was getting plenty tired of shoveling too. Now I used shell corn for the grind, and I throw in either some wheat straw or some lower grade hay as filler.

I grind the whole ear and mix it with soybean meal or dried distillers grain. Use it for creep feed and finishing and giving the cows a little extra through the winter.

That would be great. I think I may have seen what your talking about on the two row pickers but haven't seen that on the one row before.

By yield monitor, I'm picturing an old guy in bibs and a straw hat at the end of the field, saying, "Yep...looks like about 120-130 bushel crop. Spttt." |

What is the stalk kit and what does it consist of?

T-bone that was probably what the yield monitor was showing. My dad always said the A gleaners had the best bin full sensors, when the bin was full the grain ran over the front right down the crack of your azz. Edited by Kansas99 - 12 Oct 2020 at 9:00am |

We went back to a single row years ago for ear corn. Changed the sprocket for the elevator, added more husking fingers, put the stalk kit on, keep the snapping rolls welded, and 11.00-20’s to get over soft ground. Pick in 2nd high on a 185 with 200 plus corn, 3rd in lighter corn. This is the 3rd one that has been set up like this and the NI picker in my opinion is the best out there for volume and dehusking.

I found that these old pickers wont handle todays corn ----- stalks are different and break off and plug the picker so its bred for combines only---dont matter how much stalk goes in them.

Great Uncle's New Idea would overload above 60b/a, average for his fields years ago was 40b/a and did fine at that level. Seems not all so long ago we were stocking ear corn in the crib beside the barn, and yet still seems as ancient history.

Picked all day . Got 6 acres done . Corn is yielding fair, 120 to 130 bushel. Still too thick for my mounted picker. I think they made a under drive transmission for a wc. Wish it would fit my wd 45. Spend the whole day with my hand on the hand clutch. I like the visibility of a mounted picker but I could do without the dirt and the noise

Just finished today 15.5-17.5 moisture. We had a dry year, yields were poor. Didn’t take a picture this year, here is one from last year. 323 NI single row picker that has had a few mods to help handle heavy yields hooked to a 185.
