00:00 Got a Demco 1300 dual auger cart here. You know, a lot of carts, grain carts, some's nicer than others we've seen. 00:07 But this one here, we've never ran one on our farm of tracks. Demco wanted us to try it, see how it works. 00:13 Another thing that's really different about this, we've never had one. This is a right hand unload auger. 00:17 So you can sit on, see it from the right hand side of the cab. It's supposed to unload a lot easier, 00:22 more visibility of the operator. This right here is something that I'm hoping that this addition, this is a fire suppression kit 00:30 that Demco puts on and it's got, we've got a re here, a hydraulic pump at the combine, catches on fire. Bunch of water right here ready to put on. I 00:39 Believe it's about how much is that? 300 gallon. So that's a bunch of Water and it's something we hope we never use. 00:43 Well I, I hope you never ever use it, but you know, how many times during the year is something going 00:48 to catch fire in a wheat field? You know, it's just, it's uh, well I'm Thinking on an angle going to my insurance company, 00:55 I'm wanting to go to Farm Bureau and say, Hey, you see my record on keeping my equipment up, you know, what kind of premium discount can I get 01:02 to add this on? That way we can prevent a fire and reduce the damage if we do Have a fire. And they got these where 01:07 you can bolt 'em about any style cart. Yep. And that's something that they was more of a specialty in, you know, sprayers or something. 01:13 Them code done for years and this is one of their spray tanks. They just added it on the side. 01:17 The pump and the hose reels a nice, nice addition. Yep. You got that. It's easy to grab and go. Um, the hydraulic pump runs and uh, 01:26 Yeah, I think you really gonna like this cart with this low profile, with this track system and a low profile cart deal. 01:31 You know, the older cart, the longer. Yeah. So, you know, it's gonna be really nice when you get, you know, over running over to Rain 01:37 and Hills with a low sidewall on it. Yeah. It's not near as tall. It's not near as wide going down the road. 01:43 So you transport lifts narrower than our dual wheel cart that we're running right now. Especially When you're talking about 1300 01:49 bushel in the low center of gravity. Yeah. Yeah. And these eels too. But uh, it's gonna be interesting to see how this thing, 01:56 this right hand cart that's got a four way spout on it, which they've not made that and commercialized yet. It'll go out later this year. 02:04 We're supposed to try it and see how this works. And we will run this cart, this fall harvest season, Chad. And then we will, you know, Demco will sell it to somebody. 02:13 Or if we chose we wanted to buy it or something, we would've that option as well. But, um, I don't know. It's gonna be, I'm 02:19 Really hoping you'll buy it and you know, that way I can go run it or look at it. You might just ship it 02:23 down here. Let me and Jackson give a text. I need to send it to y'all. Let y'all run. Let me buy this and send it to you. Yeah, 02:29 Yeah. No, I don't know about buying, but uh, I tell you these commodity prices, I don't know how much buying I'm gonna be doing, but, uh, 02:35 but it is interesting to test these tracks. This is a saucy track. It's um, it's made, we got a lot of roading here. Mm-Hmm. 02:41 That we do like y'all have to do. That's what they're wanting to see is how it holds up. You know? Is this a market for 'em? Yeah. 02:48 So we're looking forward to putting this thing to the test, but this fire suppression kit, 02:52 this is something we really need to be checking on because if it can get you a discount on your premium, on your insurance, it's something 02:58 that you may wanna look into adding to your existing cards. Think it's gonna be a good card tryout at 22 each auger. 03:04 Y'all gonna fill a truck in a hurry. I promise you. I just hope he gets it in the truck. Don't overload it. 'cause I can't sell it if it's on the 03:11 ground with the shovel. Yeah, we've done it. We've done it. Take the front end loader, fill the bug it up, run it back 03:17 through the combine, put it back on the truck. It's clean, ready to go. Hope you didn't get no gravel. That's right. Thank y'all.
