Demco Harvest Link
Working to ease the bottlenecks between the combine, the grain cart and trucks waiting at harvest, Demco is working on its Harvest Link system. It was so new in July 2013, there were only two units. But its capabilities and data co-ordination potential are considerable. The key is keeping everything moving and reducing the wait times, thanks to 3,000-bushel capacity, and an unloading rate of 333 bushels per minute. The Harvest Link is also equipped with a radio-frequency-programmed electronic scale system, which allows the grain cart to unload at the same time a truck is filled without the loss of field data due to simultaneous loading or unloading. And with the unloading auger boasting a fore/aft adjustment feature, it means a truck can be loaded without leaving the road, reducing compaction concerns on your fields.

Elmer’s HaulMaster
Elmer’s Manufacturing marks its arrival in the “MachineryGuide” with its HaulMaster, and a pledge to maximize returns through innovation and design. Available in six sizes, the HaulMaster can carry between 670 and 2,000 bushels of valued crop. The 1600 and 2000 come with tracked units, and tracks are also options on the 1150 and 1300, plus high-flotation tires on the 850 and 1000. All HaulMaster carts have a lower profile along with lower centre of gravity and excellent balance. Another standard feature is the full-length cleanout. From the back of the cart, the single-point access opens the entire length of the floor, for fast, easy and total action.
