Where To Buy New Idea Picker Parts
Need a part for an old New Idea corn picker? Country Machinery probably has it. If they can’t find one at a price that makes sense, they might make it.
“If the price for new parts is too high, we just make them,” says Daniel King, Country Machinery. “We make shields, rebuild husking rolls and make 11, 13, and 15-in. finger wheels that go at the top of the husking rolls. New 13-in. wheels are $100; we sell them for $40.”
King makes snouts for single ($135) and two-row ($165-outside snouts) pickers. The center snout is heavier and larger and is priced at $200. The company also makes the boots for the bottom of the elevators. They are priced by size at $38 to $40 each. Replacement parts made by Country Machinery are also sold to other dealers.
Husking and snapping rolls are rebuilt as needed. King prices them at $95 for the husking rolls and $165 for the snapper rolls.
“We can rebuild rolls that customers send us, or we can take theirs on exchange and send them already rebuilt rolls if they are in a hurry,” he says. “We ship them out UPS.”
King also sells used New Idea corn pickers. He says interest is growing and not just from collectors. “Our buyers tend to be farmers who use the picker,” he says.
Country Machinery doesn’t limit itself to pickers. The company also makes and sells parts for manure spreaders. They even rebuild them.
“We do a total rebuild on the original frame if needed,” says King. “That can run as much as $2,000. If the owner wants it sandblasted and painted, that can add $600. They really look nice repainted.”
