We've never had an issue with our Brent grain cart—until now! In today’s video, we start with essential farm equipment maintenance on the bean head and trailer in preparation for the upcoming soybean harvest. I then transition to working on the grain cart and hooking it up to the John Deere 8R that will be pulling it this fall.

Join us as we dive into tractor and implement preparations for harvest and tackle this unexpected challenge.
