Tighe Ag have taken ownership of a second 36T Tandem Haulmaster Chaser Bin for the upcoming harvest season!
Located in Croppa Creek in Northern NSW, Tighe Ag is operated by husband-and-wife duo Rowen and Meg Tighe, and the Tighe family has been farming in the district for over 17 years. Tighe Ag is a broadacre cropping enterprise farming malt barley, cereals, and pulses, on approximately 12,700 acres. Their broadacre cropping operations have recently expanded which led to the addition of a second Haulmaster into the mix.
Rowen said the combination of the Haulmaster’s four-wheel tandem steering, quick unloading capabilities and ease of use, ticked all the boxes for their farming enterprise.

12,700 Acres of malt barley, cereals, pulses & summer cropping
The auger and pivot function allows for quicker and more efficient unloading with minimal spillage no matter the operator’s experience. It’s very important we have the ability to keep up with headers in the paddock and remain productive given the long runs in our operation.

Tighe Ag, thinking outside the box, also utilise their two Haulmasters to fill up their air cart quickly and easily during seeding. The Haulmaster has an adjustable auger with a 30-degree pivot range and a 4-way pivoting spout for accuracy.
At planting we use the chaser bins with seed and fertiliser for a quick fill up. The ability to lower down to our cart makes for a quicker shift change, increasing our productivity.
The chaser bin also includes Elmer’s latest Haulmaster Pro joystick controls and Haulmaster Connect tablet in-cab technology. Utilising 5-point loadcells, the advanced Haulmaster Pro system gives the operator maximum control over the auger along with an auto-unload function for accurate load tracking. The Haulmaster Connect system, offers detailed load tracking based on crop type, paddock, truck, and bin, with a direct scale connection, and enables the operator to make changes to load data and settings as needed.
With the Pro option, the joystick makes it extremely user-friendly. The scales have been very accurate and reliable for our farming operation.
Rowen said he would most definitely recommend the Haulmaster Chaser Bin as it is reliable and efficient, extremely user friendly and easy to service. “New operators have always commented that it’s the best chaser bin they have ever operated! The staff and aftersales support from Elmer’s and Waringa have been second to none.”

The highly sought-after Elmer’s Haulmaster Chaser Bin takes unloading efficiency, capacity, and simplicity to the next level.
“For our expanding operation the capacity is a big plus. Also, the tandem sprung axles with rear steering axle is great in rougher paddocks and does not chew up the paddock on tight corners. It is a well built and finished machine.”
