Mid-Size Grain Carts Corner-Auger Grain Carts

From start to finish, harvest goes smoother with a Brent grain cart.  The Brent 678XL and 578 models of corner-auger grain carts feature 630 and 550 bushel carrying capacities, making it the right size for smaller acreage requirements. The side-fold, single-auger design allows the upper auger to be longer, increasing side reach and height, which allows the operator to drop grain straight down for greater control.  For additional outward and upward reach, the model 678XL features an additional 1’ of auger side reach and 1’ 5” of additional auger height.  The 14” diameter auger provides unloading speeds up to 300 bushels per minute and the unique auger sump combined with the steep side slopes ensure quick and complete cleanout of grain during each unload.  The Brent 678XL and 578 corner-auger grain carts offer high-capacity grain handling in mid-size packages.
