we have a fully hydraulic grain cart and it work very well. we have been running it on a 7800 and it has enought oil to run it well but lacks the power to pull 22t along in the paddock. our bin unload as quick as any pto bin we have been beside. works well for us anyway
 
ironseller we harvest wheat barley sorghum some corn we people plant it. but mostly wheat barley and sorghum. as for the bin it is not a factory bin we have put our own hyd drives on with the help of the local hydraulic blokes in Toowoomba. We also have a pto bin not as big but same size auger. i dont know about a factory made hydr bin but our bin works very well.
 
dwh039 yes you can change the motor to make the cart work as well as a pto. it didn't cost a lot about $3000 thats aussie but it is worth it no ptoshafts no chains. if you have a hydraulic specialist in your area talk to them. ours is on 2 remotes with a high flow dump line straight in to the transmission.
 
dwh039 taken a while to get back to you keep forgeting to look at the motor it is a char lynn 104 1033 006 hope this helps you to find something that works.
