Brent’s Largest Grain Cart Hits the Market

As yields get larger and harvesting time narrows, the new Brent Avalanche model 3298 — with 3,150-bushel capacity — is the largest-yet Brent Avalanche grain cart.

The cart is capable of filling up to three semi loads of grain, minimizing harvest bottlenecks. It also features a pivoting auger design, which Avalanche grain carts have included since 1998. 

Unloading Features

With an unloading speed of up to 1,000 bushels per minute, the cart can also be configured with optional right- or left-hand unloading to meet farmer preferences. 

The low-profile, dual-auger design offers easy filling and the steep-sloped hopper handles high-moisture grain for complete cleanout.  

The dual augers are powered by an exclusive drivetrain with a belt-driven 20-inch-diameter horizontal auger working in conjunction with a heavy-duty, direct-drive 90° gearbox for the 24-inch vertical auger. The soft-start auger connection and synchronized upper and lower vertical auger flighting keep grain flowing smoothly and evenly for faster unloading. 

The computer-balanced ⅜-inch-thick max-edge flighting with ¼-inch abrasive resistant steel wear strips in high-volume areas provides longevity. For easier hopper entry, a rear access door with ladder is standard. 

All unloading operations are powered by five SCV hydraulic ports, providing the ability to fold/unfold the auger, pivot the auger up/down, open/close the 16-inch wide flow gates, and operate the left/right and in/out operation of the downspout.

Track System

The Brent Avalanche model 3298 grain cart is equipped with the Equalizer SP track system featuring a 50-inch-wide belt and 128-inch footprint with more than 88 square feet of total footprint. The tracks feature rubber-cushioned suspension with front/rear and patented side-to-side cambering for closely following ground contours.  Tracks also minimize compaction yet provide greater stability.  The rubber-cushioned tongue provides added operator comfort while going through the field. 

Other Features

Additional features of the new model 3298 include:

• Large observation windows for easy viewing of hopper contents

• Side-mounted ladder that extends away from the cart for easier climbing

• Single-point lubrication of auger components for simplified routine maintenance

• A roll tarp with vented end caps

• Anodized hydraulic hose grips

• Hydraulic-operated jack

Options include:

• Five-function pistol-grip remote control for auger and downspout operations

• Water delivery system featuring a 275-gallon tank with 100 feet of hose

• Electric tarp operation with wireless key fob control

In addition to the cart’s standard 520 scale package, it can be upgraded to the UHarvest Pro Isobus operated weighing system. The carts are available in a baked-on gloss finish of red, green, or metallic black, with silicone-sealed seams for durability.
