Chebanse, IL.....

Robt, that's the way ours have all worked. We have WeighTronix also on Brent carts. For doing yield checks, plot work, or calibration for yield monitor, we let the cart sit still. Note the e.w., then dump into cart & note g.w. Then we move cart afterwards. I believe it has to do w/load shifting from one bar to another.

If we have to run cart from one end to another & have accurate loads, we stop when we get to the other end & either "zero" or note the wt. It will almost always be different than it was previously. But-again, we don't use an e.w. from one point, then move to another & use the g.w. Never do that (here anyway).

When it's time for serious combining, cart barely stops to unload. We don't do much weighing then, except to try & keep trucks/wagons legal. That's a must in NE IL. Costs a lot if you're heavy.
