Looking at purchasing a new grain cart for the upcoming harvest season. Looking at a 1300 bushel cart. Know what we want but are torn between getting tracks or super singles. About 30k more for tracks on the carts we are looking at. Any advice/info on whether tracks are worth it or not? Farm in Northwest Iowa. Heavy Black soil.

Love the 36" Track 1300 Kinze! Pros- It holds slightly more than the tire model. Think 90K heaped. Definitely more stable. Less compaction unless you fill it up. We try not to load more than 65k. Very forgiving, lots of adjustment in the spout. Cons- Pulls harder loaded, 8-9mph loaded with JD 8530 285hp all we can do. Slower road speed, mine is a 2018 and book says 15mph max. Some berming turning in a 60' swath but not much in a 80' swath. Somewhat complicated unloading for new driver.
