This guy just bought this big field last winter. I felt sorry for the guy this spring and I don't even know him, every time he pulled into the field it rained, many times. Him and his brothers farm a lot of ground and at least some of it is organic, think this field might be. They burned a lot of diesel working that field plus they had a crew of Mexicans pulling weeds several times. Didn't realize there was that many matching gravity wagons left. Combine looks pretty fresh, nice.

I have 5 matching Kory 185 gravity wagons with factory extenders that get used from time to time. Only use them if I'm going to have a delay with truck(s). Keep them inside a nice dry shed so, even though they're about 20 years old, they still look like new. Mostly use J&M grain carts.
 
I went to the elevator with a pair of Demco wagons, 365s.

I was about the smallest load there all fall.

Lot of pairs of 650-700 wagons, more than a semi.

Gravity wagons are still popular around here.

We have 2 of those center dump Killbros ,2old Emco wagons side dump, 1 Mccurdy center dump and a couple old little side dumps. 2 have augers on them for seed. Then the semi.
I hate using wagons. They don't pull up to auger hoppers good and the chutes are never long enough nor high enough to clear the auger hopper with out leaking some.
They all set inside these days some used more than others. Most of them are getting to small to hold enough. Combine holds 160-180 bushel and wagons only hold about 120-160 on the smaller ones. Bigger ones hold about 300-400. Still to small.
