An hour in September saves a day in November. The 12-point pre-season checklist, in the order the work should be done.

Respect the auger, the weight and the hitch. The complete safety guide for harvest crews, drawn from the operator's manual and built for inductions.

The job most often handed to the newest person in the crew, explained properly: setup, positioning, filling, the auger sequence and the safety non-negotiables.

A chaser bin keeps your header cutting instead of stopping to unload. Here's what it is, how it works, and an honest look at whether you actually need one.

Load cells turn every unload into a number. How chaser bin weighing works, why it matters at the truck, and what to check on any brand's setup.

Three bins, three different bottlenecks. How chaser bins, mother bins and field bins stack together, and how to name your constraint before buying steel.

The 45T is here. 45 tonnes, standard rear steering, optional brakes. Learn what's new, how it fits alongside the rest of the range, and the practical details worth knowing before you spec one.

Less weight and cost, or more capacity and flotation? Choosing the right axle configuration depends on your soils, your header and how hard the bin will work. Here's how the two undercarriages actually differ and how to make sure you are comparing apples with apples.

Tyre ratings on chaser bins aren't a single number: load index, speed symbol and cyclic loading all interact. Understand how to read the codes, why width, tread and total axle load each affect your soil differently, whether tracks or tyres suit your conditions, and what to check before fitting third-party tracks.

Correctly sizing a chaser bin means matching header class, truck loads, crop density and carting distance. A '30T' from one brand doesn't hold the same grain as another. This guide works through the maths so you buy the size your harvest system actually uses, not the biggest number on the brochure.

When connecting the PTO from the tractor to the chaser bin, the PTO shaft may need to be cut to ensure it is the correct length. If the shaft is too long, it can bottom out causing damage telescopic sections and connecting components. If it is too short, it may disengage when the tractor moves through peaks and troughs.

7% of harvesters start a fire each year, and one in ten of these fires cause significant damage to the machine or surrounding crop. Firefighting equipment on your chaser bin can help avoid a harvest disaster.
