Stalk Chopper Mounts On New Idea Corn Picker
 ✖  |
There are still plenty of New Idea pull-type corn pickers around. Owners can save time and money by fitting them with the new Chop Rite stalk chopper unit from Miller Machine Shop. It lets you pick corn and chop stalks in one pass. The system is available for both one and two-row pickers.
“The stalk chopping systems mount under the picker and are powered by a belt drive from the picker gearbox,” explains Joseph Helmuth, Miller Machine Shop. “It’s good to have some mechanical experience, and you need a welder if you are installing it yourself.”
The four carrying brackets need to be welded in place. Once the bearings are assembled, the entire unit is hung on the brackets.
“A 50 hp tractor should provide plenty of power for both the picker and chopper,” says Helmuth. “It’s built for years of dependability with reversible flail knife blades with two edges and powder-coated finish. We designed it so it would be easy to service.”
The one-row model 3231 is priced at $1,200, and the two-row model 3262 is priced at $2,500.
