Available in Webster, Kentucky, this New Idea 300 corn picker for sale is a classic two-row pull-type ear corn picker offered at $2,500. Designed to operate behind a tractor using PTO power, the New Idea 300 provides a straightforward mechanical system for harvesting ear corn and loading it into a wagon pulled behind the picker.
The Model 300 is documented as a two-row pull-behind corn picker. During operation, the picker straddles two rows while gathering chains feed the stalks toward snapping rolls. The ears are separated from the stalks, carried to the husking section, and then elevated into a trailing farm wagon.
For smaller farms, specialty ear-corn operations, livestock producers, collectors of vintage farm machinery, or operators maintaining traditional corn-harvesting equipment, the New Idea 300 represents a simple mechanical alternative to considerably larger harvesting equipment.
Two-Row Pull-Type Corn Harvesting
The New Idea 300 was designed specifically around harvesting two rows of corn at a time. Historical agricultural advertisements from the early 1960s identify the Model 300 as a New Idea two-row corn picker, confirming its place among the company's classic pull-type harvesting equipment.
Rather than shelling grain in the field like a modern combine, this style of picker was built for harvesting ears of corn. This can make the machine relevant for operations that still store, feed, process, or otherwise utilize ear corn.
The operating sequence includes:

Two-row gathering system
Gathering chains
Snapping rolls
Husking section
Ear-corn conveying system
Discharge elevator
Rear wagon loading
Tractor PTO-powered operation
Pull-type tractor hitch configuration

The Model 300's operator literature also identifies it specifically as a New Idea 300 corn picker, with operating, adjustment, maintenance, and troubleshooting information available for the model.
PTO-Driven Mechanical Design
The picker is powered through the tractor's power takeoff system. PTO power operates the picker mechanisms while the tractor pulls the machine through the field.
This mechanical arrangement helped make pull-type corn pickers practical because the harvesting machine did not require its own engine. Buyers considering this picker should match it with an appropriate tractor and verify PTO, hitch, driveline, row configuration, and operating requirements before putting the machine into service.
Ear Corn Harvesting Applications
A New Idea 300 may be of interest for:

Small-acreage corn harvesting
Ear corn production
Livestock-feed operations
Farmstead corn harvesting
Specialty agriculture

Because this is an older mechanical corn picker, current operating condition and adjustment are especially important.
