On those long straight rows, why not unload on the go into the semi trailer instead of running back and forth with a tractor and grain cart to the combine and truck-? It would mean less augering of the grain resulting in less fines and less ground compaction from more truck wheels than less wheels on a tractor and cart. There are some other advantages as well.
On the long straight level areas, that would work well. However, we have quite a few areas the trucks can’t get to, so have to have the grain carts out there anyway, so we just use them the whole time. This keeps the combines running wherever they need to go. If we are short on trucks, then a full bankout (grain cart for the rest of the world) can be waiting at field entrance for the truck and get them loaded quickly & on road again. Always appreciate the thoughts as may be ways for us to improve.
@@KaufmanFamilyFarms Thanks for your reply. If you went that way sometimes, unloading on the go into the trucks, it would help if the combines auger spout would follow the centerling of the truck thru a GPS signal. Syncing the ground speed of the combine could be tied in with the truck as well.
See you have horse tail there. I found that liberty is effective. Horsetail isn’t a plant it’s more like a fungus. Nice crops you have, thanks for posting.
Thanks for letting me know what’s worked for you. We are fairly new to canola, so wanted to play it safe. Heard the hotter it is when you bin the more careful you need to be? It’s been 100 degrees at times.
Hi Kaufman, nice to meet you
Always enjoy all your videos !!!
I appreciate that!
