Started winter wht here, yeild all over the map. Hope to start peas tue/wed. S/F , grain carts keep the combines moving continuosly - more efficient use of time. Add up the hrs/day unloading back at those trucks.

But I take every thing home to bags and bins, Don't want extra hours on a four wheel drive. Also dont want to pay a guy to sit in a tractor idling in a field. That's just the way i see it. We use three combine operators and the three semis. One driver trucks are left at side of field like in Australia or USA. But yes if they are moving all the time at the end of the day you will do more. Just real tight.

Two combines a cart and a bagger,there is no idle time and i JUST make it back in time to dump(on the go).Bagger is in the field and takes the carts grain at full boar.Of course most crops arnt like this one.
Carts take off massive amounts of wear and tear on the trucks and at some logistical point are like having an extra combine.The guys with me are a little greener so i get this job-which probably seems backwards to some.
Sask(or anyone) i would love to get the bags all at the yard.What system are you using to go from truck to bag?Has anyone ever used that televeyore contraption?

I was under the impression that bagging malt barley wasn't recommended; living oganism, breathing and all that. Has that changed? Agree with CP that a cart and bagger are a cat's meow. Have found that a 1200 bushel cart can handle 3 combines doing oats with bagger up to 1 mile away.

Cotton we have been using the Flaman bagger with conveyor for 4years it works fine all home unloads fast. The truck driver is busy but hey its fun. Easy to watch them at home for birds and Raccoons etc. One area all lined up. But today went out and made swath in some 120 day barley. got a half a mile and turned around went home. Also realize our wheat right beside is way to early to desiccate. Didn't try some early canola but that would be a big mistake to.
