Subject: Commander

Don't know how big you want to go or if Kinze made the same upgrades to their smaller carts as they did the big one, but we are very pleased with the 1050 commander. In years past we had always ran a 1040 and it would get traded annually because it was pretty much junk after one hard year of running. Since the updates to the 1050, we are currently on our fourth year and the cart is still like new. I mean that literally since there is still paint on the lower half of the vertical auger and zero breakdowns to date. We do not use our grain cart, we abuse it. Almost WOT dumping, never fold in the unloading auger, and hit pivot tracks at 20 mph loaded. Only hint is to carry plenty of shear bolts the first 50,000 bushel until things get smooth because you are going to need them. Kinze is all I have ran, so can't speak for or against other brands.
