Don't Take Our Word For It
Here’s what the farmers have to say…
The Mother Bin allowed us to reduce the number of trucks we own and combine more grain faster because because the combines never stop. We farm with less equipment and finish earlier than before and it’s because of the Mother Bin. We run like clockwork.
Peyton Potter, Greenville, MSMother Bin Owner Since 2016
It was like adding another combine. It really picked up the slack because of the extra surge capacity. We were able to finish fields in the evening after the semis were done loading. If the semis had issues or breakdowns we still didn’t have to shut down the combine because we had extra capacity for storage
Keegan Jones, Pendleton, ORMother Bin Owner Since 2020
It’s great, it did everything you said it would do. Our elevator receives an average of seventy loads a day and forty of them are ours. The elevator asked how we are doing it and I said it was because of the Mother Bin.

The Semis Were Full
So where the Mother Bin came into play at was when the semis were full and gone we had at least an hour or two hour wait before more trucks came back; we could fill the Mother Bin. Before the Mother Bin we’d have both combines full, all three grain carts full and have to stop and wait for at least an hour, an hour and a half. With the Mother Bin on the edge of the field the grain carts would come up, dump and then go right back out and unload that combine again.

Efficiency & Logistics
Today’s PTI agronomy tip of the day is: it’s all about efficiency and logistics. We just don’t want the combine sitting in the field. We know we’ve got precious time when we have good weather here at harvest time; we want to keep the combine rolling and this Walkabout Mother Bin has allowed us to have that extra storage so we just don’t get slowed down in the field.

A Small Local Operation
I'm relatively small in the area, so I'm probably one of the least likely people to buy a Mother Bin, but I see it as one of the best decisions I could have made because I run older equipment and I try to do it mostly by myself without any full-time hired help. A lot of times I'm just a one-man operation with a small 30-year-old combine. The field capacity and the ability to keep my combine running is the most important thing.
