Pilot Grove, Missouri | Hey, quick picking on us little tiny guys, LOL!
Run a 1974 Chevy C60 with 350, 4 speed and split rear axle. Any more I probably put 320 bu on it at most with good corn. Pretty hard to get 300 bu of beans in it as my cart won’t hold that much in beans.
Local Coop is 1.5 miles from the end of my lane so not bad at all even if I am making lots of trips. Being a one man show with this and an old Gleaner F2 doesn’t make for many bushels per day. But it works for me. Helps when the coop stays open to dump until 7pm. $2k for the truck and $1300 for the cart.
Edit to add - a very few single axles, still a fair amount of tandem truck also here in my area. I will even use my Kory 150 bu gravity box behind a 1/2 ton when needed to get an extra bin load off the F2 at night, finish up a field with only a partial bin (I keep all my fields separate for yield tracking) or to start outside rows of a new field if I think they are higher moisture or will have FM (weed) dock so only a small amount gets the dock and not a "big" 300 bu load (again LOL!). I think I'm they only guy left using a gravity box, at least I haven't seen anyone else the last few years. But yes, the vast majority is semis hauling in and out loads from coop.
