John Deere 2755 with a New Idea one row corn picker

This model is a little newer than the last one-row picker we featured. It is a New Idea Model 323. The tractor at work here is a John Deere 2755,. The husks on these modern varieties of corn are a challenge for an antique picker!

Great video wish I could be there. I love helping my brother on his farm. I greatly appreciate The work our farmers do!

I love stuff like this ! I spent many hours as a kid dodging ears of corn in the back of a wagon . I grew up on my grandpa's farm in the 80's . He was still picking corn with a New Idea 2 row mounted picker on a M . I remember a few years it would be almost time to plant and he would still be picking . I don't ever remember him selling corn it all went to feeding hogs . Thanks for sharing !

Thanks. I like this stuff too. The big combines of today have us all accustomed to the idea that picking is a one day event. Back in the days of one and two row pickers, it could go on for weeks.

Very nice to see the old picker working, thanks for posting.

Nice outfit. Love seeing stuff like this. I grew up on a small dairy farm. We also had one row pickers. Although ours was never as nice as this one

Thanks. I really enjoyed making this.

I remember those days Farmall 400 picking corn

Wow! That picker was from "Back in the Day!" I bet it would take a very long time to pick a field of corn. But for a small operation that would be hard to beat! I have never seen a dog eat a corn on the cob!
