Güstrower GTU — harvest logistics, grain cart and combine

Güstrower GTU — grain cart for harvest, seeding and fertilising

A combine costs the most when it stands still.

The same combine, the same acreage — yet harvest can run three days longer. The difference is not in the machine. It is in the rhythm.

Where does that rhythm break?

Configurator Parts catalogue

We most often look at the combine, the seed drill and the spreader.

But the operation does not slow where the machine works — it slows where the machine waits.

Output is not a feature of a single machine.

It is a feature of the slowest link in the chain.

Güstrower GTU — combine transfers grain to the cart on the move
Rhythm 1 · Harvest

The combine's tank fills every dozen or so minutes. Without a cart, the combine stops or drives to the field edge.

On-the-go transfer — up to 15 m³/min — keeps the combine in continuous motion. Harvest does not stop for transferring.

Rhythm 2 · Distance

When the field lies far from the store, a combine waiting for lorries loses hours of the window.

GTU separates two rhythms: the combine harvests without pause, the cart buffers grain and carries it to the field edge, and the lorry hauls along the road.

Rhythm 3 · Soil

A heavy lorry on a wet stubble field compacts the soil for whole seasons.

GTU collects grain in the field, while the lorry stays on the hardened road. Less soil compaction, fewer heavy-transport passes into the cultivated land.

Heavy transport stays on the road — not in the field
Rhythm 4 · Seeding and fertilising

The rhythm breaks not only at harvest.

An empty seed drill or spreader that drives back to base for material also stands still.

Divided compartments with independent unloading allow seed and fertiliser to be brought to the field and machines refilled in sequence — without returns to base.

When transfer can't keep up — the combine waits, and the transport is too far away.
Rhythm 5 · Bottleneck

If transfer slows, the whole operation slows.

That is why this link must keep up and be manoeuvrable at the headlands:

The GTU does not carry grain. It protects the work rhythm of the whole operation.

Technical data

Two machines, two different roles

The GTU 25 and GTU 36 are not the same grain cart in two sizes. They differ in running gear, transfer capacity, payload and the list of available options. Below, each parameter is listed separately for both models.

Güstrower GTU 25

One combine that should not stand idle — and a wagon that carries seed and fertiliser after harvest.

GTU 25 is a tandem layout: two axles on parabolic springs, the second axle steering and hydraulically locked. The 25 m³ tank (28 m³ with extension) and unloading up to 12 m³/min are enough to keep one combine running on a medium-sized area. A road load of 14.5 t means the machine returns from the field to the farm without splitting the load. The tank can be ordered with compartments and separate unloading — then one trip serves two materials during sowing and fertilising.

The current factory range still includes the 650/65 R30.5 and 750/60 R30.5 sizes (from four brands — Alliance, BKT, Ceat, Michelin); the other rows are given for machines already in operation. Optional equipment increases the kerb weight and reduces payload. Payload on public roads depends on approvals and the tyre pressure of each machine. Data according to the manufacturer's documentation — the manufacturer reserves the right to make technical changes.

The range also includes the smaller GTU 21 — technical data available on request.

Before you decide

Conversation with an engineer.

The most frequent questions we hear from farms before buying a GTU.

We have collected the questions we most often hear from farms before purchase — and the answers from our engineers. Every answer is based on verified knowledge of the machine.

Based on
  • manufacturer's materials
  • dokumentacji technicznej
  • questions asked by farms

Answers based on the experience of thousands of farms in Europe.

An engineer answers

The GTU 25 and GTU 36 — these two are described in detail. The factory configurator also offers the smaller GTU 21; technical data available on request. (There is no GTU 32 in the range.)

An engineer answers

GTU 36 with extension up to 43 m³, GTU 25 up to 28 m³. The extension is a single step — the factory does not offer intermediate capacities.

An engineer answers

The horizontal auger feeds material to the vertical discharge auger, driven by the PTO, which folds hydraulically.

An engineer answers

Up to 15 m³/min.

An engineer answers

Do 4,7 m.

An engineer answers

Yes, on the GTU 25 and GTU 36.

An engineer answers

650/65-30.5.

An engineer answers

Yes, as an option.

An engineer answers

GTU 25: 22 t; GTU 36: 33 t (road load capacity depends on approvals and tyre pressure).

An engineer answers

A transfer cart that receives grain from the combine on the move and passes it on for transport, keeping the combine working and protecting the soil from lorries.

An engineer answers

Yes, compartments in the tank are an option on both models, the GTU 25 and GTU 36, and each compartment can be ordered with a separate unloading system. This allows two materials to be carried in one trip: two seed varieties, or seed and fertiliser.
