MK Martin Another new arrival to Machinery Guide, MK Martin is showcasing a number of its gravity boxes and grain carts. A Canadian manufacturer, MK Martin offers four models of its Gravity Box, ranging from 270- to 745-bushel capacities. Whether it’s combined with a Horst wagon or as box-only model to run on your own wagon, you get flexibility and durability for any conditions. With the 5000 and 6500 models, there’s an optional divider that splits the Gravity Box and allows for two separate commodities to be carried at the same time. Each side also comes with its own door for unloading and metering. With Grain Carts, there are two models available — the MK 650 and MK 850 with 650- and 850-bushel capacities respectively and a front folding auger that increases operator visibility while providing greater reach. The chute on the auger is also equipped with a hydraulic hood for more precise placement of the grain.
