I have ran a cart for Pioneer SeedCorn as a contractor for 30+ years. Best to dump on drivers side. The truckers will take and turn the tractor a little bit to the right so you won't catch the exhaust. You can get scales for the dump cart and tractor weight brackets for the left side. The carts were built for ear corn 🌽 such as sweetcorn and SeedCorn. They are fast. We fill each cart to 22,500lbs. 2 carts fill a semi. You guy's will figure it out quick.
Chet! They make weight brackets so you can hang tractor front weights on the left side of the dump cart frame. You can also make extensions for the top of the right side so you don’t have to get so close. I used to work for a seed corn company in central Indiana. You can also turn the box around to dump the other side. Good Luck!
They were meant to be bi-directional depending on desired dumping side direction. It's not too big a project to move the draw bar to the other end of the cart so it dumps to the opposite side. It will pull "backwards" from the present setup. Better visibility when loading.
Chet, i work for a canning company and we use these to load our trucks. We have swing hitches so the power unit does have to get so close to the truck. Also we add tiptops to the carts to help with flow into the trucks.
Can you add on the high side an extension of 12" using rubber mat, like horse stall mat material? Something that will extend out the pour and kick the material out further, but protect the spout on the combined if they make contact.
Looks like a sweet corn picker wagon also green beans I know local guys sometimes use a 4 wheeled version for silage but most blow direct into trucks or tractor towed wagons
That looks similar to the peanut dump carts and even some what like the cotton dump carts we use down in the south east. That one may likely be for something like sweet corn or su,ch. You are dumping on the wrong side of trailer, should be dumping on driver side of truck so you don't tear up your trailer tarp. On the liquid filled tire side there should also be weight brackets to hang tractor weights on to reduce the tippyness of the dump cart. That cart really doesn't look much like it was designed for grain dumping but should work. You do have to get close to the trailer with those things though. You may even want to extend out the dump chute some to get it further into the trailer. Just my 2 cents from observation.
Hey I just met Brody up in alex this past Saturday! Pretty awesome to meet 1 of you guys out n about! I did see Doug-o 1 time up in fergus aswell. Keep up the good work and the entertaining content!!
Riding back from Denver yesterday and seeing all the farm equipment out, my hats off to you for how well you maintain yours, can’t believe more people don’t maintain like you do
We've used a similar dump cart for silage for as long as i can remember. Only way we got close enough was to back the straight truck under the cart about 4" away. Maybe backing the cart next to the trailer and driving out would be more consistent? At the top when you dump the weight doesnt really come over center until the very end of the cylinder so you can let alot of material come out before fully dumping.
Good god , if you can’t get close enough then you shouldn’t be driving, good driver would know his distance and be able to get with in a couple of inches and why in gods name do you need such a big tractor on such a small dump trailer
We use those types of carts here in northwestern Washington for grass and corn silage. It's a little discerning having to get as close as you have to. But after a couple of dumps, it's easy peasy!
The last time that I lived on the farm, we were still using concrete silos, and Harvestore silos! we even had neighbors that were still using corn cribs! That was in the 70's though!
Be sure the left side ( driver side) tire is loaded with calcium.. cart will safely dump 10ton. We use them all the time in processing peas and sweet corn
You might be able to put on an extension on the far side from the combine, high enough to be seen from the cab of the combine, and if you want a moveable extension on the drop side with a control unit in the cab of the tractor. To be able to deflect flow into the trucks.
I ran a Richardton dump wagon as a kid in silage and sugar beets. We'd filp the side we loaded/dumped between the two crops. I'm sure you can do the same with a Miller. We'd run a dualled tractor in beets, jack knife the tractor and let the truck make the approach and movements. Every single time i saw one dump i thought it looked sketchy, but I've never seen or heard of one tipping over.
We use a KMC dump buggy in peanut’s at harvest and it dumps much higher so we can haul in open top van trailers always dump on the non tarp side. It looks sketchy but I have never heard of one tipping over. Use tractor weighs on the side for stability
When the tractor pulls into the field to get loaded, turn the cab about a foot (in the correct direction) and the offset will take care of the stack position!
Thanks for another great video from everyone at Larsons. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. That side dump grain cart will be interesting once you get to using it in the field. It is different that is for sure. Practice makes perfect they say. Know Eric will do ok with it. Like that gadget you got to keep the soybeans from spilling out from the feeder belt on the header. Hopefully that will help some of your grain loose. The other device you got to help get the combine slugs undone I am not quite following you on that one. Plus one piece is not installed????? You lost me on that one. ??? Harvest is just around the corner. Get ready!!!!’ Thanks for explaining the grain monitors you are installing on the new grain bin being constructed. That will give you an excellent idea of how your grain is doing in the bin temperature wise. Good technology at work there. Glad you are doing that. About it I guess. You all take care and be safe. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Chet and Eric, watch videos of seed corn harvest esp Oxbo videos. Those carts are used for Beets, yes, but also seed corn whole ear corn harvest. I have ran a few and it is nerve wracking especially since seed corn semi’s are usually 13’ tall
When I was a young boy my dad had a 17 Massey Harris pull type combine that had a shoot and the truck had to be close. That combine had no auger. You could extend that black shoot and it might work better.
Watching you guys reminds when I was being raised on my grandfather's farm. Are you teaching me how to drive tractors? And how to milk cows and how to feed pigs, it was an honor
This cart is intended to be used for harvesting corn silage or haylage. The left side is lower because that is the side that the chopper would blow into it from. You do have to snug up very close to the semi to dump without spilling the crop. They do get a little unstable when they raised up when they are full. Good luck Eric but after a few loads you'll get the hang of it.
Chet I've run those for a custom harvesting company here in Wisconsin and we always unload those on drivers side. And the truck was always straight in line.
Put some some corn or soybeans in the cart and try it if you have any left in storage. Looks like an extension spout would make a difference like others have said.
Chet you should see how we load sugarcane, Every load for our whole harvest gets dumped like that into the trailer. approx 22,000 loads this year will be dumped like this
Personally I'm more familiar with the Richardton dump wagon. We used them for chopping silage. Pulled it behind the chopper when the trucks were on the road or field conditions were poor. I'm not sure the difference in weight between the two crops but the wagons held up well. I do remember hearing that someone flipped one but I think it was from the pin coming out.
Y'all thought wrong. In 'wacky' California... we'd use a dolly and pull the trailer in the field with a tractor. Combine fills the trailer... 'grain cart / bank-out' drops full trailer at the landing and grabs the next empty. Of course, our trailers don't have Maxi's. Delete the cart... add another hopper trailer. 4 would be a lot more handy than 3.
Funny i tthink i mentioned how close you have to be to the truck. Several have pointed out the best is to be on the non tarp side. You can do it. Plenty of guys do!
Great video!!! But you boys need a a Tri axle high tip trailer that we use in Europe….. it raises up the tail end then has a moving floor to exit the load!!L
Poor Big Swede with the little grain dump cart ,gonna be feeling the pressure trying to keep up with those 2 big combines,could extend that edge of the cart with some metal to make it easier to unload, anyway God Bless!
Why not weld an extension plate on the tipper with a hinge that will not crush if it touches the trailer receiving the beans? Could give you an extra foot
Ive ran dump cart with all dualled up wheel new T8.380 and i have 0 issues getting close. You boys need to get tighter. Ive never wrecked a dang thing. And were filling silage boxes and doing it quickly
We use simmeler trailors that tip to the side for wine grapes thats been harvested by machines. You just have to extend the side of the bin that tips into the truck. That way you dont have to be so close to the truck.
I've run dump carts for almost 30 years and I've never ever had any problems with two tracks in fact we prefer two track cat or John Deere over a four track you need skinny tracks
Chet, When are you guys going to have Die cast models of your Trucks? I collect Die cast models and would love to add them to my collection. I look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks and God Bless.
I know you guys are too young to remember but they used to make curb feelers so you didn’t get too close and scratch your wheels. Make Erik one with a tennis ball on the end so he knows when he’s close enough. 😅. Nice bin btw.
It looks like you may have to still dump from the combine into the truck when you are at the same end of the filed the trucks at. Very interesting to see what you do .
Paint a dot on the inside of the cart. Then use a dry erase marker to put a dot on the monitor to line up and have the correct distance. Ive used this on a few jobs.

Exactly right
Slide your tractor drawbar to the right if you can so the cart can be closer to the trailer then the tractor
That worked for us!

He's concerned about being close to the truck so it doesn't spill any
Great video Mike. 👍❤️
Extensions sound like a really good solution.
Also I know around here they always put it on an 8 series tractor so that’s probly easier as it’s not as wide
Just dump straight from the combine into the semi saves one lot of breakages.

Chet & Brody playing Twister on a draper head. Something I didn’t think I was gonna see today when I woke up this morning. 😂
I watch a few farmers on TH-cam your by far the one I enjoy watching the most keep them coming
I just spent a week in a S780 in East central Alberta helping my brother in law, my favorite week of the year
Can you add on the high side an extension of 12" using rubber mat, like horse stall mat material? Something that will extend out the pour and kick the material out further, but protect the spout on the combined if they make contact.
Back in the day, when I hauled sweet corn, we put a rubber belt on the edge to help from spillage.
Looks like a sweet corn picker wagon also green beans I know local guys sometimes use a 4 wheeled version for silage but most blow direct into trucks or tractor towed wagons
Looking forward to seeing you start on the black beans. Have a great week and stay safe.
Get May West to build you a poly extension for the dump cart.

Shit changes when you're working 16 hours a day. Two inches my ass.😅
I admire the diligence in preparation for harvest. You guys Rock!
We use a similar dump carts here in California for large Lima beans. It helps with the broken beans. Limas are very fragile

Harvest preparation is always exciting - and challenging.
Watching your channel never gets old. Your team rocks!
They use those carts around here for harvesting seed corn
Better to look at tools than for them is my motto in regards to the reverser kit.
Start at the back and go to the front on driver side…. We use these in northwest Florida to load peanuts on to semis. Just bigger carts!
You might be able to put on an extension on the far side from the combine, high enough to be seen from the cab of the combine, and if you want a moveable extension on the drop side with a control unit in the cab of the tractor. To be able to deflect flow into the trucks.
Put some tile marker flags on the far side of the tipper bin to help depth perception
Awesome video .Thank you guys
Awesome video. Thanks for the ride along. God Bless

I've ran a cart similar to that in corn a bunch. They work very well, usually meat for silage but can be used with grain too.
I really enjoy your videos I’m From Iowa and It reminds me of farming There.
Hey guys look at a UFT 4765 cartveyor. Has a conveyor belt to unloaded the cart. 800 bushels or bigger. 24” conveyor unload.
When the tractor pulls into the field to get loaded, turn the cab about a foot (in the correct direction) and the offset will take care of the stack position!
Wow u guys are that far behind!!!! My boss has one from the 1980 and it will rip up the trap !!! Yep I no !!!!
Thanks for another great video from everyone at Larsons. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch.

The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
You should make a marker for the tractor that touch’s the trailer so you can tell how far u are from the tractor and the trailer
Look into a good used sweet corn harvester without the cutting head and use it as self propelled dump wagon.
Chet and Eric, watch videos of seed corn harvest esp Oxbo videos. Those carts are used for Beets, yes, but also seed corn whole ear corn harvest. I have ran a few and it is nerve wracking especially since seed corn semi’s are usually 13’ tall

Watching you guys reminds when I was being raised on my grandfather's farm. Are you teaching me how to drive tractors? And how to milk cows and how to feed pigs, it was an honor
Big swede nailed it. Thise carts are typically used for beets and potatoes.... at least out here in the dakotas
This cart is intended to be used for harvesting corn silage or haylage. The left side is lower because that is the side that the chopper would blow into it from. You do have to snug up very close to the semi to dump without spilling the crop. They do get a little unstable when they raised up when they are full. Good luck Eric but after a few loads you'll get the hang of it.
Modify the pouring “lip”. Watch at some sugar beet videos, see if some extensions on the pouring point would extend your reach.
Chet I've run those for a custom harvesting company here in Wisconsin and we always unload those on drivers side. And the truck was always straight in line.
I tied a string with a weight to the combine unload auger, this way I could see where the grain would dump before unload, worked good
Put some some corn or soybeans in the cart and try it if you have any left in storage. Looks like an extension spout would make a difference like others have said.
Chet you should see how we load sugarcane, Every load for our whole harvest gets dumped like that into the trailer. approx 22,000 loads this year will be dumped like this

I'm not sure the difference in weight between the two crops but the wagons held up well. I do remember hearing that someone flipped one but I think it was from the pin coming out.
Chet you can add a angled dump extension to shoot the beans farther into the truck
Nice seeing Dougo’s brother on the videos
You can put an extension on the dump wagon. That would give you an extra foot or two of space. Depends how long your extension is.
How about adding a nylon extension to the end of the dump cart bucket? You have someone who makes custom stuff like that
Great Job
Y'all thought wrong. In 'wacky' California... we'd use a dolly and pull the trailer in the field with a tractor. Combine fills the trailer... 'grain cart / bank-out' drops full trailer at the landing and grabs the next empty. Of course, our trailers don't have Maxi's.
Delete the cart... add another hopper trailer. 4 would be a lot more handy than 3.
Put an extension on the side closest to the truck.
As always, great video thks
Use a swing hitch like cotton farmers use on bowl buggies when they collect from 8 row cotton strippers
About 25 years ago, there was a few grain carts around with hydraulic drive, conveyor paddle belts instead of augers.
We run a dual wheel on outside rim both water filled makes it less tipsy
Funny i tthink i mentioned how close you have to be to the truck. Several have pointed out the best is to be on the non tarp side. You can do it. Plenty of guys do!
Great video can't wait to see you guys in the field Calm down big swede.
Great video!!! But you boys need a a Tri axle high tip trailer that we use in Europe….. it raises up the tail end then has a moving floor to exit the load!!L
U guys are the best farming video creators (in my opinion)
I think Eric needs to help with seed corn picking and he’ll be a pro in no time
Would adding a lip to the dump side of the hopper help? Screw a piece of rubber, plastic or fabricate from metal to direct the flow out further.
Poor Big Swede with the little grain dump cart ,gonna be feeling the pressure trying to keep up with those 2 big combines,could extend that edge of the cart with some metal to make it easier to unload, anyway God Bless!
That’s a silage dump cart choppers typically fill from the left side of the cart
In Texas we call those bole buggys
The trick to grain carts like you have you have to extend the chute and sides
Why not weld an extension plate on the tipper with a hinge that will not crush if it touches the trailer receiving the beans? Could give you an extra foot
here's to low splits and no spills
Dump on the non tarp side… and, as my old boss used to say, NEVER go backwards when dumping into a truck, always go forwards…
They will learn.... New Roll Tarp is hugely expensive... Slipping into the truck trailer is easy done
I've done that with our grain cart and I know exactly what you mean
Maybe for a dump cart but with a grain cart I have no issues dumping on either side, and I’ll back up while loading every time.
@@robo1210 So you have never used a dump cart...obviously...
@@kinlika hence why my comment starts with “maybe for a dump cart”.
Start dumping at the back of the trailer and work forward and you won’t have to worry about the trucks mirrors.
In the PNW it's called a tank but you can call it whatever you want
Great job 👏
Beet farmers use them down here in Western Nebraska
peas,lima beans,sweet corn and many other vegetable harvests use dump carts and they all unload on the right side of the machine
many different silage guys use dump carts to
You can stop a lot of splits by stopping when unloading from the combine and run the auger at idle.
Used for sweet corn in southern MN
Do a shop tour and tool box tour
Ive ran dump cart with all dualled up wheel new T8.380 and i have 0 issues getting close. You boys need to get tighter. Ive never wrecked a dang thing. And were filling silage boxes and doing it quickly
Approach from the rear makes it easier
We use simmeler trailors that tip to the side for wine grapes thats been harvested by machines. You just have to extend the side of the bin that tips into the truck. That way you dont have to be so close to the truck.
Magnifique vidéo et le montage du cilo et les moissonneuse batteuse sont bien équipés et bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
Try putting orange rope on auger for your marker when it hits the edge jim the conman to help your cool man retired farmer.😊😮❤
That was conman my big fingers
Chet look into KMC they make grain carts that will do a great job for y'all. We use them for peanuts and have used them for wheat
I've run dump carts for almost 30 years and I've never ever had any problems with two tracks in fact we prefer two track cat or John Deere over a four track you need skinny tracks
We used a dump wagon in corn silage. Worked very well.
Can't believe you only have 418 thousand subs
Chet, When are you guys going to have Die cast models of your Trucks? I collect Die cast models and would love to add them to my collection. I look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks and God Bless.
Our grape dumping carts. Have a larger chute on the side that dumps. Make a braket 18" tall with a couple sides and you are good to go.
I know you guys are too young to remember but they used to make curb feelers so you didn’t get too close and scratch your wheels. Make Erik one with a tennis ball on the end so he knows when he’s close enough. 😅. Nice bin btw.
Hard rubber extension on the side of the drop trailers to help stop from spilling
It looks like a 6-8" extenchen would be a beautiful in getting closer to the trailer.
It looks like you may have to still dump from the combine into the truck when you are at the same end of the filed the trucks at. Very interesting to see what you do .
Paint a dot on the inside of the cart. Then use a dry erase marker to put a dot on the monitor to line up and have the correct distance. Ive used this on a few jobs.
