The Walkabout Mother Bin 6000+ Big Red has been selected as a 2025 AE50 Award winner along with other notable ag companies. According to the profile in Farm Equipment “A WMB is the difference between harvesting crops at near 100% efficiency vs. the accepted efficiency of just 60-70%.”

How? The Walkabout Mother Bin bridges the gap between a grain cart and a truck by storing up to 4000+ or 6000+ bushels of grain. It enables combines and grain carts to continue harvesting without having to wait for trucks.

To be eligible for the AE50 Award, each development — which could be a component, machine, structure, system, end product or procedure — must embody the application of new technology or the innovative application of an older technology. The technology must be new to the entire industry, not to an individual company. Then an international panel of industry experts in technology, design and product development gather to evaluate the entries and select up to 50 products for recognition.

“I am so proud of the Walkabout Mother Bin team,” said Dave Hedt, CEO/Founder of Walkabout Mother Bins. “This is a huge accomplishment with massive amounts of work done. We are excited to receive the AE50 award and continue to help make farmers lives better by making their operations efficient.”

Headquartered in Faulkton, South Dakota, Walkabout Mother Bins focuses on quality constructed bins; providing an efficient, easy, and affordable harvest system that limits overhead and downtime for farmers. All Mother Bins are made in the USA. Farmers can purchase a Mother Bin directly from Walkabout Mother Bins or from a Mother Bin dealer – https://motherbin.com/find-a-dealer/.
