At the time the grain cart style was the fastest rate of unload if I'm not mistaken. All of mine unloaded pretty dang quick. I know from experience that topping of a almost full cart, you didn't take your eyes off the auger or pile for very long or you'll be replacing shear bolts. Biggest drawback was it is a fixed location. No moving it back and forth to match the cart speed or whatever. Having a single chain and no gearboxes was a big positive to me at least. I had trouble with my first 9560 in beans putting too many pods in the tank which caused the safety grate above the auger opening to clog up. Once we got the right combination of concaves and separator grates in that issue went away.


Yes, fastest peak, but as I said before, their average and ours is about the same. Very good for their day and for being the standard option.

Do other brands really swing the auger running to move around on the cart? Heard people say that, but have never seen it...I was always taught cart driver drives one speed, combine changes to be where he wants to be.


And yes, I realize I'm splitting hairs on unload rate LOL

Having ran Deere and CaseIH machines after my Massey years, yes I move the auger back and forth a bit. Not on every dump but maybe the cart guy is lagging behind or out ahead then I speed up and he speeds up and its easier to bump the auger back some than to try and speed up or slow down. When they see the combine speed up they are watching the header or the front tire and try to match but if the front of the cart is full... it can be a sh1tshow to get it right sometimes. It's easier to just move the auger back a foot or 2.

I've had some great cart guys and some that should have stayed in bed that day. Best I had other than a family member was an older guy we had working on the farm. He was good but then he'd almost get lost or forget once or twice a day what was going on! He hated it when he saw me climb up the ladder with a diet Mountain Dew and a bag of sunflower seeds because he knew I wasn't planning to leave that seat until we went home that night. Worst one was a South African named Leon. He never caught on. Left us halfway through corn harvest and he wasn't missed. I filled in for him and drove the cart for a few days until we got another guy in the seat.

I just looked at CIH's website. Their newest 9260 Machine has a 4 to 4.5 bushel unload rate. The 9250's we had always seemed slow to me unloading but I guess the auger was larger or something because they did alright but coming from the Massey 9560 it just seemed off. 9770 Deere unloads quick but the ungodly noise the gearbox makes is horrendous. RAWRRRRRR...
