Subject: Compaction with walking tandem grain carts


South-central Nebraska
How well does a walking tandem grain cart with 20.8 42 tires distribute weight on a 1000 bu loaded cart? Do you have pinch row issues and do you see tracks the next year? Obviously how wet the fall was will have lots to do with the matter. I am currently running 2 J&M 750 bu carts with single 20.8 42 tires. Most loads leave the field with 600-700 bushels. I am wondering if I would be better off with (2) 1050 or 1150 J & Ms with walking tandems hauling out 900-1000 bushels.

Seems like a lot of 1000 bu carts being sold. I still truck a lot of grain a mile or so with carts. The smaller carts may be better for this. But, where is the fine line of weight distribution verses just too much weight period? A loaded combine with a large head isn't exactly considered light either.
