I agree to some extent on what you are saying....except a 500-600 bu cart is around 6-8K and a decent tandem truck is 20K+.

A 600 bushel cart on dry ground will cause minimal compaction. Especially if used primarily as a holding bin. Wet ground is different, but the combine will be making the same issues. If full on the side of the field, dumped, pick up combine load.....you have less axle weight than the combine.

A serviceable truck and trailer is maybe 30 depending on your ego needs. One vehicle to license/insure. Truck diver dumps cart, then dumps combine on go a couple times and is full. Combine stops half the time speeding things further.

A larger truck in the off season is fairly self explanatory.
