Combine has to dump every pass. Takes 24 minutes, maybe less to make a pass.
How big is the combine and head? How fast are you driving? What are your yields? We are trying to figure out how may bushels per hour you are combining. As several have suggested, you need to eliminate your bottleneck, which may be your auger at the yard. If your cutting 2,000 bushels/hour and can only dump 1,500/hour into the bin you need a bigger auger.
We can dump 4-5,000 bushel/hour into our system and only harvest 2,400 on average. With two 36' semi trailers we can easily keep the combine going from 10 miles away.
