Unverferth Manufacturing unveils the latest enhancements to its Brent Avalanche double auger grain cart series, designed to increase efficiency and convenience. 

The 98 Series boasts several improvements, Andy Unverferth, director of marketing at Unverferth Manufacturing, told Farms.com. He noted a longer vertical auger for quicker unloading and a new rear access door for easier cleaning between crops. 

Furthermore, you now have the option of adding a rear hitch, allowing you to tow a header transport simultaneously, making travel between fields much easier. 

Available in sizes ranging from 1,100 to 2,500 bushels, the Brent Avalanche delivers impressive unloading speeds of up to 1,000 bushels per minute. 

Its double auger design not only ensures stability in the field but also enables faster unloading thanks to the horizontal floor auger. 

A standout feature of the Brent Avalanche is its pivoting vertical auger, allowing you to adjust its position effortlessly during loading and unloading. 

The cart also features a standard four-way downspout for precise grain placement without the need for repositioning. 

Equipped with the Equalizer track system, the Brent Avalanche offers track widths of 42 or 50 inches, along with a side-to-side camber design for optimal performance on various terrains.

He also shares insights on lygus bug management, including timing of spray applications to minimize feeding damage and maintain seed size and quality.

With cool, damp summer conditions, George notes that while disease pressure is present, overall field health remains good. The crop is just beginning to show early seed colour change, signaling progress toward maturity.
