NE Iowa
We have a cart. 1084 Brent... corner auger. We have an 8320 on it. Seems like a good size fit. It is simple.
Here is how I would always run the cart in a perfect world.
Combine is empty on the "Dump End" of the field. (where all the wagons/semis are) Combine your way to the other end of the field, turn around and dump on your way back, ensuring that the combine always is empty an the "Dump End"
Cart always dumps at the "Dump end" into the wagons.
Repeat until the field is done.

This way, the cart is always empty going across the field. I hate a cart driving around 3/4 full to get some more, which is not enough to empty the combine.
Cart job will be easy because the trip to the wagon/cart is short, and you drive quickly back to the combine when you are empty.

Then, your cart only needs to be big enough to hold 1 round of corn. We have a bigger cart for doing end rows and fields farther away where the semi is not always waiting. (we run two semi's and one person hauling, so almost always a truck is waiting)
