What the 1596 Avalanche Grain Cart is used for
The cart receives grain alongside the combine while both machines travel through the field. At the headland or field edge, the operator raises the unloading auger and transfers grain into a semi or grain truck. An optional scale system can record cart loads before unloading.
Why the Brent 1596 Avalanche Grain Cart stands out
The dual-auger layout combines a 20 in floor auger with a 22 in vertical auger for fast unloading. Its pivoting discharge auger provides adjustable height and side reach, while available tracks or tandem tires let buyers match the cart to field conditions. The rubber-cushioned tongue suspension and protected PTO driveline support field travel and repeated unloading cycles.
Buying a used Brent 1596 Avalanche Grain Cart
Inspect the vertical and floor-auger flighting, especially the leading edges and high-wear intake areas. Check gearbox oil, belt-drive condition, PTO clutch and all driveline shields. Examine the frame, tongue, undercarriage pivots, track components or tires, and verify scale readings against a known scale if equipped.
