Elmer’s Manufacturing Announces All NEW Hive Motherbin

Harvest with Increased Volume and Efficiency

Elmer’s grain carts have been pushing the status quo for on-field grain transport efficiency and continue to develop and do so with the introduction of the NEW HIVE MOTHERBIN. The Hive Motherbin is a central hub during harvest; acting as a buffer, it collects and distributes grain in the field. Grain carts (honeybees) unload without waiting for trucks to arrive, or concern of overload. Likewise, the Hive has the capacity to fill multiple trucks, meaning the truck trailers can be filled in one stop and not wait on the grain cart to top it up.  These two scenarios reduce the logistical bottleneck of moving grain off the field.

• Industry-first fully independent dual tank design to blend different crop qualities.
• Massive 8250 & 5500- bushel capacity to keep your harvesters running longer.
• Simplified grain data management and operation with HIVE CONNECT & PRO

Limited units will be available for Harvest 2025, with orders opening to meet market demand for Harvest 2026. Please contact your nearest Elmer’s dealer for availability. Find Your Nearest Dealer!

The Motherbin Advantage

Boost Profits and Reduce Hassle: How the Motherbin Revolutionizes Harvest

Juggling schedules between combines, grain carts, and trucks creates downtime and inefficiency. While large truck fleets are expensive to buy, maintain, and staff.

The Hive Motherbin – your central storage hub that optimizes harvest and maximizes profits. How does it do it?

• Streamlined Operations: Eliminate waiting times between equipment. Grain carts can unload continuously, keeping combines running. Trucks are loaded on demand, maximizing capacity.
• Reduced Costs: Save on upfront trucking costs, ongoing labour expenses, and maintenance fees.
• Increased Efficiency: Optimize crew schedules. The main crew can harvest longer hours. Seasonal workers start with a full load, maximizing their productivity.
• Minimized Downtime: Grain carts stay ahead of combines, reducing travel distance, combine idle time and wear on equipment.
• Less stress, and more harvest time – a win-win for everyone.

Unlock More Potential: Go PRO

Beyond the core benefits, the Motherbin offers unique features that elevate your harvest.

• Dual Tank Design: Store and blend crops with different moisture and protein levels – all in one bin.
• Custom Blending Control (PRO Upgrade): Upgrade to the PRO for individual gate control, creating customized grain blends on demand.
• Simplified Technology: HIVE CONNECT, the optional scale and load management system, provides real-time data – live weights, GPS location, and detailed load tracking.
• Effortless Operation (PRO Upgrade): HIVE PRO takes things a step further with advanced features like automatic auger return and tablet/joystick control for both auger and gates. Even new operators or truck drivers can use the Motherbin with ease and precision.

Why Choose a Motherbin:

• Harvest More Grain per Day: Maximize your harvest window and output with the ability to:
  • Start earlier or go later due to blending of higher moisture grain with lower moisture during the day
  • Spread out the transportation window and move more tons of grain after harvest is done for the day.
• Reduce Operational Costs: Save money on trucks, labor, and maintenance.
• Boost Crew Efficiency: Get more done with a seamless workflow.
• Simplify Harvest Management: Less sensitive timing of transportation, more control.

Additional Features:

• 19” Drag and 22” Unload Auger for faster unloading into trucks.
• 28 degrees of vertical pivot to go over stacks and down into trailers.
• 4-way spout control (PRO option)
• PowerMaster Direct Drive Gearbox – eliminating belts and chains
• Drop Deck for on-field stability and eliminates stress on multiple axles & simplifies transport
• Dual electric tarp with remote or tablet operation for easy opening and closing.
• Ground entry doors on front and rear compartments for ease of cleanout.
• Move with ease even with 10 tons of grain in the front tank.
• Side and end windows for quick visibility of grain levels.
• Maintenance-free bushings for worry-free operation.
• Optional Cameras
