Galahad, Alberta | Oh to be so fortunate as to be able to find harvest help. Good farm help here is next to impossible to find. Everyone is working in the oil patch. I agree about the combines though. You want the most expensive machine to work non stop and be productive. Then you set up the support equipment to keep that expensive machine going. Buying the combine is simple, choosing the best combination of carts and trucks is tricky. As far as unload augers go, when Versatile was building their pull type machine, it had an unload auger postioned in the middle of the tank that could swing to either side of the machine for dumping. A friend and his father used to run one, and they loved dumping on the go into a super B on the right side of the machine, because the trucker was on the near side of the truck, not the far side, and it was easy not to run into the header. With todays big sp combines and big headers, the auger would have to be really long and beefed up, but that's what engineers are for.
