Video: Brent Avalanche 98-Series Dual Auger Grain Carts

The Brent® Avalanche® dual-auger grain carts have set powerful standards for unloading speed, convenience, capacity and durability. The all-new 98-Series of Avalanche grain carts carry on this tradition and give the operator more auger side reach and height along with choice of right- or left-hand unloading to meet individual preferences. The dual-auger design provides a narrow transport width and low profile for greater stability and ease of transport and features the fastest unloading speeds, no matter the moisture of grain. In addition to the industry’s first pivoting vertical unloading auger, the 98-Series is standard with a 4-way directional downspout that is operated on the tractor’s SCV remotes. The all-welded construction, rubber cushioned tongue suspension and heavy-duty dual-belt drive system ensure years of dependable service. Capacities range from 3,150 to 1,100 bushels and with unloading speeds up to 1,000 bushels per minute depending on model, operators can get back to the combine quicker to keep harvest moving smoothly. Bigger, faster, better. The Avalanche 98-Series dual-auger grain carts feature dynamic performance that now pivots to new heights.
