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.

3 Semis Down in the Field
I was sitting in a combine seat, I had three semis down, and my head mechanic was having a fit. I thought, “What are we doing?” I discovered the Walkabout website and within 24 hours Sara, their Sales Director, was sitting in the combine next to me, getting a look at the farm to see if a Walkabout Mother Bin would work for us, and it did. It’s changed our harvest. I’m super grateful.

Increased Our Operation
We upgraded all of our machinery but with the capacity of the combines we were always waiting on our trucks to turn around. Previously, we waited for trucks to turn around at outdated dryers, causing delays. With the Mother Bin, everything flows smoothly, with one central location for dumping. The turnaround time is quicker, and we can cut more loads per day, even before a hurricane hits. It's a no-brainer.
