9 of the Best FS22 Grain Cart Mods
There are several excellent grain cart mods for Farming Simulator 22 already. I’ve taken a closer look at most of them, and this is what I’ve come up with: The best FS22 Grain Cart mods.
1. Demco 22 Series Grain Carts
Another impressive mod from Custom Modding. Here are two grain carts from Demco:
- The Demco 1100 grain cart.
- And the Demco 1300 cart.
A significant difference between the two models is how much crop you can fill into them.
The models from Custom Modding make the Demco cart lineup in FS22 almost complete. It’s only the 1700 model that’s missing.
As usual, the level of detail of each model is almost insane.
Of the many things that impress me is the animation of the electric tarp. It’s not the standard on or off animation. Instead, you can see how the tarp is rolled over the hopper.
Other than that, there’s an almost overwhelming amount of customization options inside the shop.
For instance, you can choose between wheels or tracks. You can also buy mounted scales and capacity indicators.
- Base Price: 69,688 and 71,873.
- Capacity: 44,048 and 50,215 liters.
- Max weight: N/A.
- Modder: Custom Modding.
- Errors: No.
- Platforms: All.
2. Killbros 1600 by Bcbuhler Farms and Benny
If you want a reliable and versatile grain cart for your farm, check out the Killbros 1600 FS22 mod by Bcbuhler Farms. It’s based on the real-life Killbros 1600, an older model manufactured by Killbros Farm Equipment, which has been in business since the early 1940s.
In Delphos, Ohio, the real-world Killbros Farm Equipment was founded by brothers Luke and William Kill. The brothers started a small welding and radiator shop and expanded to making grain boxes for local farmers.
Since the beginning, the company has made hundreds of thousands of grain boxes and gravity wagons for American and Canadian farmers. Today, the company and Delphos facility are part of the sizeable Unverferth family.
The Killbros 1600 mod has many features that make it an excellent choice for your harvesting needs. Here are some of them:
- A large capacity of 27000-35300 liters, depending on your chosen extension. This means you can haul more grain in fewer trips, saving time and fuel.
- It has 10 different wheel configurations to suit the terrain and your preference.
- You can also choose between different colors for the body to customize your cart further.
- There is a warning triangle option and a work light option too.
The FS22 version of the 1600 grain cart is a brilliant tribute to the legacy and quality of Killbros Farm Equipment.
The mod has a realistic and detailed model. The textures, including authentic Killbros logos and decals, look fantastic. It’s smooth and easy to operate, with a hydraulic auger that can be controlled with a button press.
Killbros 1600 Quick Facts
- Base Price: 24,000 in-game currency.
- Capacity: 27–35.3 m³.
- Max weight: 29.1 tons.
- Power requirement: 200 hp.
- Platforms: All.
3. Parker 6500 Grain Cart by Rooster Mods and Benny
This is the Parker 6500 Grain Cart by Rooster Mods and Benny. It’s an FS22 replica of a model Parker Industries made in the 1980s.
The FS22 mod version is a fantastic grain unloader perfect for mid-sized farms in the game. It allows you to spend more time inside the harvester and less time unloading.
Here are some of the features:
- Customizable wheels: Diamond tread or bar tread tires from Lizard, Michelin, or Continental.
- Light options: Optional brake lights and auger pipe lights.
The real-world Parker Industries saw the day of light in 1960 and was bought by Unverferth Manufacturing in 2001.
Parker still builds grain carts in addition to gravity wagons and seed tenders.
It’s totally awesome to have Parker equipment in FS22. The modeling job is perfect, and the textures look amazing. Hopefully, Rooster Mods and Benny will also decide to bring newer Parker models to the game.
Parker 6500 Quick Facts
- Base Price: 20,000 in-game currency.
- Capacity: 21.1 m³.
- Max weight: 14.6 tons.
- Power requirement: 120 hp.
- Platforms: All.
4. Brent Avalanche 1596
The massive Brent Avalanche 1596 grain cart is back! The first time we saw it in the Farming Simulator games was in FS17. Back then, it was a significant part of the Big Bud DLC.
Thanks to the modder K4mil, it’s also possible to use it in FS22.
The model has received some facelifts to make a grand appearance in the game, like new textures and updated sound effects.
This is what you can configure in the shop:
- The wheels and the cover.
- Colors for the body and the rims.
The only thing I miss is an option for tracks. Real-world Avalanches can be equipped with tracks; the FS22 version can’t, unfortunately.
- Base Price: 118,000.
- Capacity: 53 m³.
- Max weight: 26 tons.
- Modder: K4mil.
- Errors: No.
- Platforms: All.
5. Coolamon Chaser Bins 45T-60T
Want to play around with one of the most enormous grain carts in the world? Then, you should download this fantastic pack of Coolamon chaser bins.
The pack has two models:
- Coolamon 45T (double axle.)
- And Coolamon 60T (triple axle.)
Why are they called chaser bins, you might ask?
Well, the Coolamon trailers are made in Australia. Down there, grain carts are often called chaser bins, which is really fitting when you think of it. You use the trailers to chase combines, right?
BTW, Coolamon is an Aboriginal word for a container made of wood or bark, used for holding goods or carrying a baby.
Note: The Coolamon trailers are called Lizard on consoles.
- Base Price: 77,400 and 92,300.
- Capacity: 54 m³ and 70 m³.
- Max weight: 45.8 and 59.7 tons.
- Modder: Hispano.
- Errors: No.
- Platforms: All.
6. Coolamon Mother Bins 150T
The gigantic Coolamon 150T mother bin isn’t really a grain cart in a traditional sense. You don’t want to chase combines with this bad boy, no matter how strong your tractor is.
Nor is it a bin for disposing of mothers or mothers-in-law, to be clear… It’s more like a mobile and temporary grain bin.
In Australia, where this type of equipment is used a lot, empty mother bins are placed in the fields ahead of the harvest.
- Tractors with chaser bins empty their load into the mother bin.
- Trucks with grain trailers unload the mother bin and transport the crops back to the farm.
The bins work as intermediary storage solutions. They make continuous fieldwork possible. No need to pause and wait for grain trucks that might be many miles away (Australia is huuuge…)
The FS22 replica of the Coolamon 150T is a remarkable piece of modding work. It might be too much on regular 2 km x 2 km maps. However, it has a mission on maps that is 4 km x 4 km or larger.
Note: The Coolamon mother bin is branded Lizard on consoles.
- Base Price: 135,000.
- Capacity: 185 m³.
- Max weight: 164.2 tons.
- Modder: Hispano.
- Errors: No.
- Platforms: All.
7. Kinze 851 and 1051 Grain Carts
Here’s a great twofer for you: The Kinze 851 and Kinze 1051 grain carts. They were featured as base game equipment in Farming Simulator 19 (FS19) but didn’t transform into FS22.
I really liked those smaller Kinze carts. Luckily, Giants Software made up for not including the carts in the first lineup. They are now offered as mods in the official modhub.
I don’t think you’ll go bonkers over the shop options because there are only two: Standard or wide wheels.
However, both Kinze carts look and operate magnificently. For example, they perfectly fit a tractor like the New Holland T8 Genesis.
There are also updated sounds for the folding animation of the auger. It’s also possible to hear the sound of the cover opening and closing.
- Manufacturer: Kinze
- Base Price: 59,000 and 74,000
- Capacity: 30m3 and 37 m3
- Max weight: –
- Modder: Giants Software
- Errors: No
8. Demco Posi Flow
Here you have the Demco Posi Flow grain cart for FS22. It comes in three colors:
- Red.
- Green.
- Blue.
Inside the shop, you get some wheel options to play around with, for example, duals. You can also add extensions to the cart. The extensions increase the overall capacity.
I particularly like how the trailer revs the tractor engine during unloading. And the visual capacity changes are a nice bonus.
The first version of the cart had some issues. These have now been ironed out. The mod is also updated with all the new FS22 sounds.
It’s now a great “little” cart, suitable for smaller tractors and tighter budgets.
- Manufacturer: Demco
- Base Price: 14,000
- Capacity: 19,400—26,400 liters
- Max weight: –
- Modder: Ross W. Modding
- Errors: No
9. J&M 680 Gravity Wagon
This is not a grain cart like the other ones on this list. It doesn’t have the characteristic foldable grain auger. Instead, the crops are offloaded through the grain chute at the bottom of the trailer.
In other words, you can’t use it for overloading crops to other trailers. Instead, you can empty the load directly into unloading triggers.
The J&M 680 has some exciting options in the shop. First, it’s possible to change the colors of the body, the cover, and the rims. There are several cover and logo options too. You can also decide whether you want a warning triangle and where it shall be placed.
The loading capacity is decent; 24,000 liters.
My favorite feature is that you can hook one trailer to another. You can pull a train of several J&Ms as long as your tractor is powerful enough.
- Manufacturer: J&M
- Base Price: 18,750
- Capacity: 24,000 liters
- Max weight: 15,2 Tons
- Modder: DinizFarms
- Errors: No
Grain Carts vs. Auger Wagons
You have most likely discovered that grain carts are called auger wagons in FS22. Why?
The same tool (basically) having different names has to do with geography.
- They are often referred to as grain carts in the USA and Canada.
- While in Europe, they’ll often say auger wagons.
That’s how I separate them as well. On this page, I write about trailers found in North American fields. If you’re looking for counterparts used in European farming, check this out: Recommended FS22 Auger Wagon mods.
