We have been picking corn with a NI uni since '69. The Uni shown is a '74. We used to crib 10,000 bu. but now are down to 3000 since it is just the wife and me, only take on as much work as your wife can get done. The stripper plates work fine for keeping the corn going through but you get much more trash into the picker and the husking rolls work overtime to get the corn clean. It all depends on the variety of corn if you want clean picked corn. Most of the corn now-a-days is bred for combining that means the ear is tighter to the shank with more trash going in to cushion the kernels while going through the cylinder. The Uni does shell, but it mostly goes into the wagon unlike the a snapping roll picker which leaves it on the ground.
