714 bushels total when combine is empty 3 minutes 36 seconds total unloading time Didn't double check my calculations but looks about right.

About 712 bu--that's under optimum conditions; we all know how it often goes. What a difference unloading on the go with a big combine.

The answer is 450 bushels if the bin empties completly.

If you are unloading on the go, the bin will never be empty.

This is a classical calculus problem. You are attempting to empty a hopper that is being filled at a constant rate. In theory the hopper is never emptied. However, at some point in time what is being discharged from the hopper exceeds what is actually in the hopper. To simplify the problem a twelve (12) row head on thirty (30) inch rows covers thirty feet. This is assuming from middle to middle measurements from each outside row. At 43560 sq ft per acre the machine must traverse 1452 linear feet to over one (1) acre. With this information and traveling at 6.0 miles per hour in 200 bushel per acre grain, the machine is filling it hopper at the rate of 1.21 bushels per second. In effect you are only emptying the hopper at a rate of 2.09 (3.3 minus 1.21) bushels per second. Now the problem gets easier. At this rate of discharge the machines takes 215.31 (450 divided by 2.09) additional seconds to empty. But during this time you have harvested an additional 260.53 (215.31 times 1.21) bushels of grain. Thus at the end or when what is in the hopper is less than what is being discharged you have emptied a total of 710.53 bushels on the wagon. The answer is 710 bushels.

...and such a combine would not be an STS! You will never get a 9860 to successfully achieve that level of consistent_prolonged operation, 450bu hopper or not. It just isn't big enough. let us know when you blow a final drive when trying to empty that 450bu's at 6mph and hit a wash-out.

good figures,trouble is at the instant you turn on the auger,the bin must be full to the max,and the unload rate is for what percent moistureIJWhile in theory your assumptions are correct,in practice they would not hold up,chances are the error factor could go as high fifty percent.In a perfect world the figures stated are maximum.

Don't you watch the ground in front of you. I slow down to near crawl, I do not bounce through at 6 mph!
