Your videos are always a delight to watch, my friend. Your hard work and passion for what you do are truly admirable. Keep shining! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

Fantastic bit of Aussie technology we have been using Mother bins for many decades makes a big difference here due to huge paddocks.

[@dingdongdaddytimanderson]

Great combination with the tribine.

[@lucasv3825]

Reminds me of something Demco had years back.

[@glennienhaus6030]

Great idea but it always the bottle neck at the grain elevator

[@kildare1773]

If combines move 5 miles away to another field the bin will have to stay put until its nearly empty. Need two.

[@John-nc4bl]

Too much augering of grain produces more fines. Heavv mother bins make deeper compaction in the ground.

[@Beyonder8335]

Sure but I doubt you’d get too much damaged grain running it through one extra auger in normal conditions. And the compaction would only be at the field entrance

[@tira2145]

It would be less compaction. Set this up at the field entrance. The semi's wouldn't have to enter the field. It would take a little extra work to build a pad for it, but you are only using this on huge field's. Plus I doubt that you are moving this in the field fully loaded.

[@7viewerlogic670]

Good idea.

[@John-nc4bl]

Bad idea. Too much augering of grain produces more fines. Heavv mother bins make deeper compaction in the ground.

[@Len_M.]

Mike Mitchell needs one. It would really increase efficiency with his 2+ mile long fields.

[@etrain757]

Not really, his bottleneck is never trucks because he doesn’t get any crazy yields. Like he just had 10 combines in 1 field and 1 truck which is just insane

[@John-nc4bl]

With 2 mile long fields,Mike needs to dump into trucks on the go. Less grain augering means less fines.

[@Skay24]

No he don't need it, it will only compact the field more. See the wheels of the Mother Bins? It will be stuck on wet land.

[@John-nc4bl]

A mother bin is another expense. By adding a mother bin means that there is one more augering step in moving grain which makes for more fines= loss. Fuel used to pull the mother bin to and from a set location and fuel used to drive the long auger= loss. Dont be a slave by having to pay some manufacturer the high expense of a mother bin.

Farming Simulator brought me here.

[@lfeco]

Just guessing, $200,000?

[@w8stral]

Or just buy 1 extra grain cart and a couple extra truck dump trailer and now you are REDUNDANT instead of one more crap specialty item which is hard to resell and with HORRIFICALLY expensive parts impossible to find

[@davidshumski4629]

I think it would be cheaper to build a bin nearby

[@Alecks1990]

It should be automated. Remote controlled from the trucks.

[@kellyfennell4559]

No one wants to work wants a check but not do anything

[@RELO6]

there's no lack of labor, it's a lack of employers that want to pay a decent wage.

[@w8stral]

So, $$50-->150/hour is not decent wage... Uh huh, RIGGGGGGGGTTTTTTT .... So, you have never even SNIFFED a farm tractor/combine/truck, good to know

[@gliderider7077]

There’s a lack of work ethic and ambition, government has turned society into lazy entitled slackers

[@markdobson4562]

I pay very well compared to any options locally, still no help. Youth found electronics and have no desire to work. Give kids everything and why would they work for anything.....hmmmm

[@w8stral]

That is also true. Loser parents breed loser kids. @@markdobson4562

[@nickc7320]

​@markdobson4562 kids would work their asses off if lawmakers would let them. How many damn restrictions on kids are there? How many kids get their spouse hustles shutdown due to taxes, regulation, and age? Kids will hustle. Government slows them down.
