Well, as a dog groomer from New Jersey, I can say the shear scale of the work, equipment, and what you do there continues to baffle me. It's s o hard for me to wrap my little fur covered brain around. I'm so impressed, from what I can tell, with very little direction on your part, all of the guys seem to know exactly what to do, when to do it, and where to be when needed.

It boggles my mind how these huge conveyors stay attached to this cart, carrying a full belt of product, and through all the wear and tear. I know it's all heavy duty, the mounts and all, but geez.

Bourgault's 71300 bu or the newer 91300 ( same volume ) are the largest at the moment you can buy, there was a Vaderstad 1300 but I don't see it anymore. Maybe there are farmers who build larger carts but never seen one, only larger toolbars/drills with smaller carts.
