There are several advantages. First, like you said some fields you can't get a semi into. My uncle has a whole farm he can't get a semi into and an auger wagon is cheaper than the bridge he would have to build to get across the creek. Second is time. In the time it takes to drive a big combine half way across a field, unload, and get back to doing something the combine could have covered alot of ground. A buddy of mine's family coveres around 15,000 acres with two 9770s. They try really hard to keep them rolling as much as they can. Third it can cut out the need for another truck. Even on a two man operation where there is no one to "run" the wagon a combine can more than fill one hopper bottom in the time it takes the other guy to get to the bins and unload or go to town. With out the wagon they would have to have a second truck setting in the field or the combine would be setting around alot.
Last year we had a really wet fall here. Some folks wagoned crops out several miles because any time a truck got off packed gravel it had to be pulled out.
