I'm currently using a 231 Massey(41hp) pulling 125bu side dumps and it works good. I've used my Farmall H and that also seem to handle it ok. It was a little too much for my 25hp kubota but that was due more to the lack of weight to pull the wagons as they filled up, it had enough hp to run the picker though. I would just fill the wagons only 1/2 full. Hope this helps.

I pulled my single row Wood Brothers picker this fall w/VAC Case, about 18 HP, I think. Worked OK, but made the old girl work in 100bpa corn in soft ground when the flare box got full. (We figured there was about 85 bu in the wagon, by measure.) I sure wished that old VAC would have had a creaper low, as it was tough to go slow enough while keeping the picker running fast enough as it was designed for probably 50bpa (max) corn when what we were picking was running twice that. I used my SC w/live PTO the year before, it worked better because you could clutch it when the corn started to pile up in the picker, but we wanted to use the VAC last fall to "blow the soot" out of it. BTW, it runs a whole lot better after we work it hard for a couple of days. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

I have no idea how much more HP (if required) than an Oliver No. 5 1 row picker the New Idea would take. We usualy pulled our Oliver with a 41 Farmall H (27 max PTO HP) or a 49 John Deere B (28 max PTO HP) but I have pulled it with my 46 John Deere B (20 max PTO HP) when I had a 2 row mounted on the 49 JD B

We always used a 77 Oliver (around 30hp) with our Dearborn one row picker. I wouldn't go too much smaller otherwise when your wagon gets full you might have a hard time pulling it.
