Unverferth has just introduced the new model 2520 grain cart, which pushes at the upper capacity limits of its cart line with a 2,500 bushel load rating. It’s the biggest cart the brand has ever built.
Getting grain out of the cart won’t take more than two and a half minutes with its pivoting 24-inch diameter vertical auger and 20-inch horizontal auger.
The cart operator can precisely place grain in a truck with the four-way directional downspout controlled by a joystick mounted in the tractor cab. The joystick also controls all other auger operations, such as folding, pivoting and flow gate control.

To carry all that weight, the cart rides on a high-flotation undercarriage that uses the brand’s Equalizer hydraulically tensioned track system. The Equalizer track is 50 inches wide and 148 inches long, with front and rear as well as side-to-side oscillation.
The tracks are equipped with an auto greaser to lubricate pivoting points at regular intervals. The cart also has tongue-cushioned suspension for a smoother ride.
To aid in clean out between crop types, there is an access hatch at the rear with a ladder. Large viewing windows and a roll tarp are also on the list of standard features.
The available UHarvest Pro system allows the cart to connect with an ISOBUS-compatible virtual terminal in a tractor to relay scale weight readouts along with other data collection functions, such as monitoring the hitch weight in real time to avoid overloading the tractor hitch.
It automatically tracks each load, collecting data on the field and crop as well as truck, destination and crop variety for data reporting via the included Slingshot cloud storage account.
UHarvest Pro can also be equipped with a moisture sensor, and the Accu-Load kit can automatically unload to a pre-determined weight.
Any of the available scale packages can include a side-mounted LED readout on the cart to show load weight.
To clean excess chaff and dust off combines in the field, or to put out fires, the cart can be equipped with a 275 gallon water tank. A rear hitch rated for 20,000 pounds can be used to tow a header trailer.
