Western Iowa | I would NOT buy a cart that couldn't fill whatever truck I am hauling with in one shot. If you have an 800 bu semi, get an 850 cart. If you have a 1000 bu semi, get a 1050 cart.
Guys on here alway talk about compaction of the bigger cart. I hate to tell you bigger carts have bigger tires and I would fair to venture some big carts have less PSI on the ground loaded than a smaller cart.
With a 800 bu cart and a 1000 bu truck you are making more passes around the field, Doesn't that add compaction as well?
I like the one shot cart, all day long it is better and it is way better in the morning. When there are lines at the elevator I can get up early run the truck in, be back about time the combine starts up, dump the cart on the truck and head back to town. Of course everything is usually full at night.
I had a 800 bushel cart until 3 falls ago when I went to a 1084 brent. Should have done it sooner, but upgrades here are sometimes hard to come by due to the money thing!
Your tractors would handle a 1050 cart, especially in your kind of ground. | |
