we are looking at getting a grain cart for this fall (if it ever gets dry enough to plant something besides cranberries) we have an ac 7020 and a jd 4430 both have duals and weights and were looking at a killbros 490 500 bu i think and a brent 472 ad says 450 bu but when i seen it in person looks as big as the 490 i was wondering if any used this similar combo out there are ground is fairly flat we use both tractors to pull killbros 385 wagons for now

We use a 7045 on a 450 bu. cart and no problems. We have a 7020 also but use the 45 cause its a PS. and the 20 is a PD. Either would handle it tho. We have 9 of the 60 lbs. front weights on to help with the tractors balance. Oh, and by the way, you're going to LOVE using the grain cart.

Dad has used a 7000 in the past on a 425 bu EZ-Trail. Does beter on the 7060. Used the cart last fall on a 100 horse Massey and it did fine as well. Just slide the drawbar short and stay off the roads loaded.

Our JD 4440 fills in when needed on our A and L 475 BU cart does fine on level ground, I don't try to press the limits tho Andy
