What the 1305 Grain Cart is used for
The 1305 is used to collect grain from a combine on the move, then carry it to a semi or truck at the headland. Its scale option can support load tracking, while the hydraulically controlled flow gate helps regulate unloading. Operators should plan traffic patterns so the loaded cart reaches the truck without interfering with the combine.
Why the Kinze 1305 Grain Cart stands out
The clean-corner dual-auger design places the unloading auger where the operator can see the discharge area. It combines a 24 in vertical auger and 22 in horizontal auger, plus an adjustable spout and joystick control. Camso track, flotation-tire, and row-crop-tire options provide undercarriage choices for different fields.
Buying a used Kinze 1305 Grain Cart
Inspect the two augers, especially the flighting at the intake and the vertical-auger transition, for thinning and distortion. Check the gearbox, belts or driveline components, PTO clutch, hydraulic cylinders, flow gate, and shields. Examine tire or track wear, undercarriage pivots, the hopper floor and frame, and compare scale readings with a known scale.
