What the 1051 Grain Cart is used for
The 1051 receives grain while traveling beside the combine, then transports the load to a truck, semi, or grain handling point at the field edge. The operator controls auger functions and can use an optional scale to record loads. Its pit dump door assists complete cleanout when changing crops or preparing the cart for storage.
Why the Kinze 1051 Grain Cart stands out
The single corner-auger layout gives the operator a clear view of the unloading area. A 1,000 rpm PTO driveline with torque-limiting and overrunning clutch protection drives the auger. Buyers could specify flotation tires or tracks, with tracks providing a larger ground-contact area.
Buying a used Kinze 1051 Grain Cart
Inspect the 20 in auger flighting, auger tube, cleanout door, gearbox oil, and PTO torque-limiting clutch. Check the floor and frame for corrosion or cracks, and inspect tire condition or track belts, bogies, and hubs. Test hydraulic functions, electrical connections, safety shields, and scale calibration before relying on recorded weights.
