[@45Deere9500]

Are you going to keep it as a ditch dumper (dumps to the right)? Here, first thing would be to switch it to dump to the left. You'll like the bigger wagon, especially the super single truck tires. Here, where we don't have the hills that you do, the 7600 would be fine on that wagon. Have had upwards of 1000 bushel behind a 4440 before, with no real problems. Just take your time loaded, and plan your stops.

[@bradsmith7106]

45Deere9500 ya same I've have 30-35 ton on 3 Wagons behind a John Deere 6410 and it pulls it pretty good and as you said just got to take your time

[@jacobneiman9768]

You sure keep Sloan implements busy, always getting something new

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

When are you looking at harvesting?

[@sheensmx6464]

Good add on to the farm

[@OurIndianaHome]

When it is time for "new" tires, look for used airplane tires! The work very well for grain carts and are affordable too!

[@lukestrawwalker]

So long as they're not towed over 30 mph for any length of time. If operated at "highway speeds" for more than about 10 minutes, they'll quickly start to overheat and will blow out if not allowed to cool down. They're rated for 200+ MPH on airplanes, but the plane only does that speed on the ground for about maybe a minute at most during the takeoff or landing run, so they don't have TIME to heat up enough to hurt anything. Later! OL J R :)

[@patrickverkley323]

We've pulled 2x600bu Bach Run wagons with a JD 7330 premium no problem! I'm sure the 7600 would pull it no problem! And we pull 3 600 bu wagons with a 7230R! Very common here in Ontario. I'd seriously consider buying the other 3 that guy traded in! They are super handy!!!!

[@patrickverkley323]

We normally harvest with 3 chains of wagons. One guy in the combine, one in the grain buggy, and one guy road running one of the 3 chains to the bin or grain mill. Pretty efficient system for us so far! In your case, I'd run the 8235r on the wagons as it's fast and use the slower 4640 on the the grain buggy. Anyways, just a (hopefully helpful) suggestion from a Canuck who's been using gravity wagons for as s long as I can remember! ;)

[@jordanwilson8676]

We got a 7710 we pull 2 500 bushel wagons with it just fine don't worry about it we got huge hills up here just drop a gear never gets outta control

[@williamkenny815]

Jordan wilson if u drop a gear on a down hill slope and your going to fast u could blow half the engine out of it happened to me pulling a 25 ton trailer

[@Malhisaabdhanda]

William Kenny here in india we have about 30-70 ton load of sugarcane on one trailer and while going down thre bridge we just use low gear and the trailer doesn't even have brakes. Low gear works without doing any damage to tractor.

[@timothymiller4217]

I see supervisor Rocket was there to inspect the new arrival

[@timmyfeltmann9114]

I sometimes use a 3020 to pull 450 bushels of corn

[@peterdusenbury1661]

Very good video Ryan thanks

[@jimmiem447]

My family's farm uses three of those ez trail bins

[@nicholass5405]

the good thing about those types of wagons is you can move it with any tractor or truck.

[@Kelligirl2152]

Ryan, what are you doing on your farm? Cattle, corn, grain, soy beans...? How many acres do y'all have - total between you, your dad and your brother?

[@evangregory9299]

we got a J&M wagon that we use to tender soybeans and we use it to haul to the bens in the fall it's like a 600 bushels

[@generationll]

That blue & white Arts Way makes me think of a DMI because it the same colors

[@karlbrohammer9105]

10,000 bu. grain transported /500 bu grain wagon reduces travel load trips by est. 75-125 loads vs Have a Nice Day M& W wagon. My math maybe questionable, but still a productivity gain.

[@Gator-12]

I would think you really benefit from some sort of coating in them after harvest each year. Some put graphite and some slather them with used oil.

[@MatthewHoag77]

Nice upgrade! That's definitely bigger than any gravity box I ever worked with on my uncles' farms. Is it fair to say that the auger is now your capacity-limiting implement? Will this get the Kuster "Have A Nice Day" logo on the back?

[@traviskaeb6489]

You should have gotten a Brent, Unverferth, or J&M with surge brakes. As long as your tractor brakes are good, the wagon will push against the tractor and compress a brake cylinder applying brakes to the wagon. No electronics involved. Just a suggestion.

[@RoederFamilyFarms]

I agree, we have both J&M and EZ Trail wagons on our farm and the EZ Trails have nothing on the J&M. They trail awful and welds tend to crack. No such issues with the J&M boxes. All of them we bought brand new and the the J&Ms are older than the EZ Trails!

[@slowride55]

When are you harvesting corn? Ours here in central Illinois just started turning brown this week.

[@xFSUxnoregrets]

Are Brent and Parker wagons not as popular where you are?

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

you need to remember they don't engineer these wagons to exact sizes. they may say 500 bushel but that's a calculated struck level volume and their going to be understated on size because if they say 500 and it is 480 bushel people will complain. so when you heap it full I bet you could see 550-600 bushels

[@brandonvangorp9207]

I don't see why the 76 can't pull it we use to pull a demo 650 bushel wagon with our old john deere 4240 up a big hill didn't work to bad.

[@lisahinkemeyer9386]

are you going to get more wagons?

[@christianelbracht2830]

Nice, a 15 ton trailer without any brakes and lights :-)

[@ghavila1766]

Look again, it has lights.

[@bsturgeon2379]

Great video Ryan so when that wagon needs upgrade or when you all grow acres will you all purchase a semie and trailer to help transport . 😄

[@richardbloomfield5836]

when will you do a video of a test with the new wagon

[@sneakysnake109]

Nice. moving up in the world!

[@Blazer02LS]

Take a close look at those tires, they may be candidates for regrooving. Might get you a couple more years before you need to replace them.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Those are just old semi truck super-singles... working in the fields and stuff they'll pack up with mud in the first couple revolutions anyway, regardless of how deep the grooves are. Basically it doesn't matter if they're slick or not... so long as they're round and hold air and aren't cracked all to pieces from old age, they should work fine for what they're doing. Not like they're hauling that weight down the road at highway speed or anything. They just need to be able to hold enough air pressure to support the weight and not blow out. Later! OL J R :)

[@jamieshields9521]

Are. You going put reverse camera on bin or can you around sides of bin in tractor?

[@brianrurherford2983]

why dont you guys use tandem trucks?

[@beths5923]

why do you call the RINO 4155 a bush hoge

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Beth S. I don't remember calling it that?

[@beths5923]

How Farms Work My son who has autism uses my account, he may have gotten his information mixed up. So sorry.

[@HowFarmsWork]

It's alright, many people call it bush hogging because the brand name has become more of an action than a name. Similar to how people ask for a Kleenex when it might be another brand of tissue, it's just become synonymous with the name.

[@edo3488]

Ryan, will you sell or keep the green grain cart?

[@brysongeffre6202]

Ed O they will keep it

[@samuelmckinley6327]

So if you have the 46 on the Wagon, and the 8235r on the Brent then what will be on the green grain cart?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Likely the 7600 if we do use it as it would just be used for field storage. Many days we didn't even use the green grain cart because my cart held enough grain in limbo that we didn't have to use it.

[@samuelmckinley6327]

I see, maybe throw the duals on the 7600 just for stability?

[@sanderpoortvliet2688]

7600 on the green graincart this fall?

[@casycasy5199]

how much does a used piece of equipment like that cost

[@firionrazar3797]

why don't you use proper trailers with suspension, brakes and hydraulic tilting the platform? 6:24 in fornt of the Rhino, is that some new tractor?

[@adamoffen788]

Firion Razar it is the 7600.

[@willmcdonald1499]

Show me where that money tree grows

[@firionrazar3797]

Thank you!

[@Sandra-yk6jx]

Firion Razar that's the 7600

[@ignasanchezl]

Will McDonald It grows in an efficent farm where you can pull a trailer not beeing afraid of it getting out of control.

[@ontarioagguy2769]

The 7600 will pull that no problem we have a 105 horsepower tractor and we pulled 2 600 bushel wagons with it

[@HowFarmsWork]

+allislover12 On hilly driveways?

[@jasonpayne1715]

allislover12 I could see it, we use a 105hp tractor to pull a Brent 644 and 444 hooked up we put them up and down ridge roads that some wouldn't feel comfortable driving a atv up, The 7600 would pull their two wagons no problem on the road and field roads, especially with front wheel assist, The only thing is though if Ryan feels comfortable pulling a load with the 7600, maybe it should just stay on the auger or the Tedder.

[@glenvanbavel8710]

Just wondering why you don't buy a grain truck .

[@HowFarmsWork]

A lot of money for not a lot of return.

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Somebody tell me if you apply bedliner to a grain cart if it's doable or efficient for protection against rust/corrosion. Thanks.

[@farmallskittle]

Michael Baumgardner no bedlinen is not slick enough

[@lukestrawwalker]

Bedliner usually has a very rough texture when dry (to give added traction to prevent stuff from sliding around in the bed of the truck while driving, and to prevent slips and falls when climbing/walking in the truck bed. Grain carts use gravity to pull the grain down the sloped floor sheets to the door or auger... they need to be SLIPPERY to do that, so bedliner would have the opposite effect. If you want to minimize corrosion and make the cart clean out better, apply SLIP-PLATE to the floor-- some of it sprays on some is brushed or rolled on, depending on the formulation... it makes the floor slipperier so that the grain can move down the sloped sheets easier with less friction, which reduces wear on the metal from somewhat abrasive grain sliding over it. It's also usually a carbon-based or silicone based material that helps reduce corrosion. The other thing is, clean everything thoroughly after use and then paint over areas scoured down to bare metal with some spray paint... Later! OL J R :)

[@omejugo1]

why doesnt it have brakes?

[@philiplogemann314]

omejugo1 it is to old, it wasn't until 5-10 years ago that they started putting brakes on grain wagons.

[@huntermeeker4551]

U ever thought about a strait truck

[@craigburgeson421]

I find it funny how all these people are complaining about no brakes and I'm sitting here like who care lots of wagons don't have brakes

[@farmallskittle]

exactly my hay wagon don't have brakes and i farm on hills just take it easy

[@94Gidge]

Craig Burgeson i have seen alot of trailers that dont have brakes also.

[@steveholton4130]

Shave Beard?? No can do! Beard removal is only allowed during the month of APRIL. Jamie didn't get the jump on it at the get go - now she's stuck with it till spring - her man needs his fur for protection from the Winter's Cold wind and elements.

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Nice

[@2xxx2xxx21]

I still think they'd be better with a proper trailer

[@buckhorncortez]

What is "proper"? Has no meaning.

[@robertreznik9330]

If you get a regular corn combine that does 3500 bushels per hr, you will be getting a cart that can fill a semi trailer in 2 minutes.

[@lukestrawwalker]

You must be using that "new math".... LOL:) OL J R :)

[@jack99church]

It only holds 13 ton? Not much at all

[@2xxx2xxx21]

How many ton would it be????

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

Tom Reel corn is 56 lbs per bushel dry 500 bushel is 28000 lbs or 14 ton. corn right out of the field is heavier because its higher moisture so with wagon he could be from 15-20 tons

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

Tom Reel soybeans are 60 lbs per bushel dry

[@robertreznik9330]

Around here, dryer corn weighs more. That is for a given volume. The bushel came about because farmers in the past did not have scales but could measure volume. Now farmers are stuck in the past so still sell by the figurative bushel but use a scale. We should be using the metric system by now but are resistant to change to a better way.

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

Robert Reznik true. the standard use is 56 lbs per measured bushel at 15% moisture but they also check test weight with a density scale similar use with fertilizer and yes a bushel could weigh more and they have formulas to adjust price for weight and moisture to be inline to the standard bushel

[@robertreznik9330]

When I was young in 1960 we used hundred wt., in West Texas and to the West. The Mid West looked very backward to us. Their low yields reflected their state of mind. Using a gravity wagon would have been the talk of the town because we used trucks...not pickup trucks or tractors. Not using a semi trailer is a site to see and a big waste of time in the 21th century.

[@aidanmarkwardt7883]

7600 should be able to pull it.

[@ontarioagguy2769]

How farms work a little bit if hills

[@willycase6430]

What does that thing hold in tonnage. As you US style units don't make sense to me a England lad 😂 Still looks like a nice cart.

[@bobcat12m]

We pull 2 500s with 4440 the 7600 will pull it just fine

[@jayrominger]

Unhandy? Maybe not efficient?

[@klugfarmsklug9323]

To small, 625 bushel would of been much better, you got the tractor to pull it.

[@michaelcarley7016]

I would think your 4020 could handle that wagon.

[@valleyfarmer2990]

We pull 800 bushel with our 7210 so ur 7600 will handle that wagon with ease

[@chrisrenken9303]

7600 will pull it

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

These European commenters. lol

[@alanirishkelly6704]

Theses European commentators would stop that trailer a lot quicker in a accident on the road with airbrakes or even hydraulic brakes

[@b210wah3]

Alan Irish Kelly and get a better load on!

[@jat845]

I am farmer I want a farmer job

[@ChalkyDaBoss]

Grow out your beard

[@gopherchoker]

Harvest beard time!

[@PAFarms]

gopherchoker haha I was going to comment winter time cave man beard.

[@crazyhass84]

To large for 7600? Lmao. I pulled wagons that size with a 4020 for a decade. Wasn't fast but it worked. As long as it has breaks u could pull it with your pussymax truck.

[@voxxag8054]

How comes you guys out there use these types of trailers. They look pretty unstable and not 16 or 18 ton grain trailer?

[@dirtthunder1638]

Just buy a grain truck!

[@ChalkyDaBoss]

its all well and good only spending a bit of money and saving slightly more time, but all you are doing is accumulating more trailers etc and more hastle. Why not just buy a decent sized trailer that is better built and in a better condition/new for a few thousand more; save a lot more time and have less trailers. For example that pervious EZ Trail you bought in 14' and you were constantly doing repair work and you threw it away after 3 years. If you have to do repairs on stuff you want to be doing it on kit that you've had for 10+ years not just after a couple, get your moneys worth

[@HowFarmsWork]

The EZ Trail we had to buy in 14 because it was set up for fertilizer how we needed it to be. We stopped and transitioned to a method that's more efficient so we stopped using it. I'm not sure how you mean we're accumulating more trailers, if you've watched the last few videos you'll see that we're now down 1 wagon because of the one we junked and the one they took in this video. We would buy a larger trailer for a few thousand more if we could find one but to find one in good condition much larger than this one, you're talking 10K+ dollars.

[@lisahinkemeyer9386]

you should have kept your other wagens as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garygrindey18]

so if you put the 46 on this wagon, what do you do with the green grain cart? maybe I missed that point? I'm assuming you put the 8235R on your grain cart.

[@austinvacek3524]

our 4440 pulls a 530bushel and 350 bushel together down the road and that's at 160hp I know the 7600 will pull one 500bushel wagon down the road

[@BornToFarm101MN]

We have two 640 bushel wagons. Be careful pulling these! Our have brakes but they have to push against the tractor to engage. I got shoved down the road pulling them slowly with a 4630.

[@BornToFarm101MN]

I should also say, tractor weight is just as important as HP.

[@timmyfeltmann9114]

Can't you get a Brent or an unverferth or even a Parker

[@sc0tte1-416]

I know nothing about farming, but need to ask, how is it not bad to get a bunch of rust particles mixed into your grain because you didn't clean that off?

[@lukestrawwalker]

It doesn't all come off at once, and it is just a little bit and mixed in with SO much grain that it's not even detectable. Plus, it's removed with the TONS of chaff and "bees wings" (bits of the red stuff covering the cob) and dust that is in the corn naturally anyway, when the corn is cleaned prior to its end use... Later! OL J R :)

[@kennethmarlow2731]

You really need a grain truck

[@FarmerBoy-zy7sj]

Are you going to have another farm day

[@waterskiingfool]

It seems to be working good for you guys

[@raycordrey3128]

[@dereckperkins1692]

Awesome

[@Billballbagginz]

heyoooo

[@Heimerviewfarm]

Just curious since you'll put the 46 on it could you put like a 250 bushel gravity box behind it?

[@Ghis1964s]

...naahhh.... Keep the beard (heck... start your own trend! "Harvest Beard"..... there's hunters beard, hockey-finals beard, gryzly adam beard, etc lmao)

[@HowFarmsWork]

+GHISLAIN LETOURNEAU Sounds like a good idea! I'll shave it the night before we harvest!

[@kevinwillis9126]

i know that surface rust will come of as soon as you start to use it. but why not give it a coat of paint? just saying Ryan...

[@willmcdonald1499]

because the paint will come off as soon as he starts using it

[@ghavila1766]

At this time I'd wait until harvest is done and then throw some paint on it so it doesn't rust over the winter.

[@williamkenny815]

Will McDonald if u spray it it should be OK put a lot of tiners in it it should do the job👍

[@jamiefrench9023]

congrats on the new toy. tires will be cheaper than you think. we have hauled 2 of them behind our 4430s the 7600 should pull it OK.

[@nikkizylstra3543]

The 7600 will pull it. We pull 750 bushel wagons with a 7810 so the 7600 should pull it fine.

[@muddysprings6233]

7600 is a perfect tractor for that wagon we pull two with a smaller tractor

[@jacksonhunterandfarmer2673]

Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless stay safe guys 👍

[@philanimajola5515]

DO YOU GUYS PROVIDE WITH AN IN-SERVICE TRAINING?

[@toshadude1]

So for being European how much weight is a bushel and is this the same for wheat corn beans ?

[@farmallskittle]

Leo Pennartz corn weighs 56lbs per bushel usually so just do the math

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

Leo Pennartz soybeans are 60 lbs these are dry weights to 15 % moisture. out of the field moistures are higher up to 28 % so the loads weigh higher yet

[@toshadude1]

Thank you that would be around 13 metric tons

[@shawnfox8002]

Are you thinking of getting a semi as well as maybe another large wagon to keep the grain moving

[@jimd9511]

If they would get a regular grain truck, it should be used for many other things. They could take the side boards off and use it to move hay. If they really wanted to, they could put a trailer hitch on it and use the truck to pull the hay wagon. More efficient way to move hay...truck and trailer, one person.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yeah, but that's COMMERCIAL tags/license/insurance. Farm plates are way cheaper, as is the insurance, etc, and no CDL required, BUT, you cannot haul "for hire", only your own grain and materials... not hauling for outside businesses or other farmers. Later! OL J R :)

[@alanirishkelly6704]

These carts look 3rd world ,, not even hydraulic brakes ,you would be arrested running that on the road in Ireland or U.K.

[@b210wah3]

Alan Irish Kelly Exactly, anyone with common sense wouldnt run one here anyway, you spend half the time jamming on breaks over idiot car drivers who shit the bed when they see a tractor

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yeah, well, that's why we're glad we're not in Ireland or the UK... We have too much gubmint meddling in things as it is here in the US. Need a whole lot LESS gubmint, NOT MORE. We leave the socialism to yall Europeans. Yall seem to like it well enough. We don't for the most part. Later! OL J R :)
