Special edition cart with LSW1400 tires and new Harvest Vision package
DEMCO Products has teamed with Titan International and Big Equipment Company to launch the Demco Big Buddy 1300 Dual Auger Grain Cart for Welker Farms Inc. in Montana. The cart is designed to accompany the farm’s newest Big Bud tractor, built with the first live PTO on a Big Bud to power grain cart work. Finished in a custom Big Bud color and decals, the cart honors the legacy of the iconic brand while focusing on modern performance and safety.
Welker Farms, a 10,000-acre family operation managed by Bob, Nick, and Scott Welker, raises winter wheat, spring wheat, and yellow peas and documents its work for over 600,000 YouTube subscribers. The Big Buddy 1300 joins their fleet for the 2025 harvest season.
Both the new Big Bud and the Big Buddy cart ride on Goodyear LSW1400 tires featuring Low Sidewall Technology. The larger rim and shorter sidewall help reduce soil compaction, improve ride quality, and offer a cost-effective alternative to tracked systems.
The cart debuts DEMCO’s Harvest Vision package, now available on all Dual Auger and 1000–1500 Single Auger models. Key elements include a new 4-way directional spout, two high-definition cameras with an in-cab monitor (auger and rear views), upgraded lighting with side and rear markers plus work lights, and a bull-pull hitch for reliable towing. Additional upgrades on this build include a right-hand unload auger and an integrated fire safety kit to support safer, more efficient field operations.
Attendees at the 2025 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois, August 26–28, can see the new Big Bud and Big Buddy at the Titan Tire Booth #933. Daily meet-and-greets with the Welker family run 9:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–2:00 p.m. Follow the Welker Farms YouTube channel, and connect with Titan International and DEMCO Products for ongoing updates.
