Looking to purchase a 2 row mounted corn picker.

Ill be picking less than 5 acres each year....

My disire is to have a D17 gas tractor under a 190 model corn picker....

My second choice would be a D17 with New Idea mounted picker....

What is your thoughts fellas....

Storage of ear corn is a con if you’re not set up for it.

Pick your poison. There would be 10 times (or more) New Idea's to find used parts for. The Allis would have the benefit of stripper plates.

.

We had a New Idea mounted on an Oliver 880 when I was growing up.

Later we had a self propelled Case combine, open station!

"In the weeds" always sat the two row pull behind picker. Never knew why it was parked, and especially not used when the Oliver broke the fancy helical gear set first used on the 880 to cut trans whine.

Homesteading or smaller farm I'd try to locate a pull behind picker. Easy to hitch and go.

Mounted pickers are great for "opening a field up" in the outer rows. But those outer rows are eaten by deer and poor yield because of grass and trees. I'd plant a cover mix band around the field and use a pull behind picker.
