Jonesville, Mi | 600 bushel cart or bigger if you have a tractor for it. I run a 6225 univerferth on a 4440 and haul most of the grain with 2 550 bushel wagons. We run a tractor on each wagon and the tractor with cart on the weekends when I have the two dads help. I load the cart with the combine on the go and he's waiting for the tractor to pull in with the wagon, fills it quickly with one dump and the wagon is headed back home. By the time the second wagon is back the carts loaded and ready to dump again. We run a 10x72 auger and dump in 7 minutes so I don't think you auger is a issue. We can easily move 1500+ bu/ hr this way 4-5 miles away. When there is only the wife and I the cart helps tremendously because it's very mobile and can be parked whenever needed. I have one field it gets parked in the center of the field and I fill it while she's gone and drive it to the road to load her wagon when she returns. We also have a field where I dump at each end with just the two of us so I park one wagon at one end and the cart at the other. She takes the wagon and dumps it then comes back and dumps the cart in her wagon and dumps that then back and switches wagon and dumps it and this continues all day and it works great. You will quickly find the advantages of having a cart if you get one and wonder why you waited so long. This was our first cart bought in 2012 and I don't know what we would do without it. I also use it to move dry corn from a drying bin to storage bin. | |
