The video is fun to watch - thanks for sharing. A good grain cart operator is a very pivotal role. Exceptional Communication skills & knowing machine capabilities & limitations are a must. If cart operator takes grain from a loaded combine while driving thru an adjacent irregular field topography(depression/ditch/contour), it could spell disastrous for the combine’s unloading auger becoming damaged by contacting the cart. They must have a thorough knowledge of how to legally / safely load a truck. His cart scales allow him an indication of total pounds. And most times, the carts total pounds records provide initial field yield data.
