Grain transfer wagons: the advantages of an auger

During grain harvest, every minute the combine harvester stands idle counts. A transfer wagon with an auger noticeably cuts this downtime by taking on the harvest directly in the field.

Direct transfer on the move

A model like the UW 10000 takes in the harvested crop via its auger while the combine keeps moving – so-called on-the-move transfer. That means the combine doesn't need to stop to unload and can keep harvesting continuously.

Less soil compaction in the field

Since heavy trucks or trailers don't need to drive directly on the field being harvested – the transfer wagon covers the stretch between field and farm track – soil compaction from heavy vehicles on the actual cropland is reduced.

Higher harvesting capacity per hour

With less downtime for the combine, the area effectively harvested per hour increases – a noticeable economic advantage, especially on large fields with tight harvest windows.

Conclusion

A transfer wagon with an auger pays off especially for farms with large cropped areas, where combine downtime directly limits harvesting capacity. The UW 10000 offers enough volume and payload for the job.
