750 Smart Cart offers ease and flexiblity in unloading
Bourgault's 750 Smart Cart brings grain cart utility to a higher level. Unloading the Smart Cart is both easy and flexible as the carts can be unloaded with the turret auger system or with the gravity chute. The turret auger uses an 45.7-centimeter (18-inch) diameter tube with a auger rotational speed of 680 revolutions per minute. The turret auger's nearly horizontal section rotates over top of the truck box or trailer. Because the auger rotates over top versus beside the truck, the potential for contact between the auger and the truck has been eliminated. The turret auger's position can be hydraulically controlled from the tractor allowing the flow of grain from the cart to be directed to the desired location in the truck box or trailer. A high-clearance frame design provides access to a gravity chute which allows the contents of the 750 Smart Cart to be drained into a pit or auger systems.
