OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN HOOKING UP TO TRACTOR OR CONNECTING
HYDRAULIC LINES TO TRACTOR.
Preparing the Grain Cart for Use (see tractor recommendation for grain cart model below):
Model 525-14W Grain Cart requires a 100 hp tractor or larger.
Model 620-14, 750-14, 750-16 or 750-18 Grain Cart requires a 130 hp tractor or larger.
Model 875-16 or 875-18 Grain Cart requires a 150 hp tractor or larger.
Model 1075-18R, 1075-22R, 1050-18 or 1050-22 Grain Cart requires a 4WD tractor.
Tow Loads Safely
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total
weight of the equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower:
Road Travel (grain cart empty) - Do not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow
loads more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing
loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT pull loaded grain cart on highway. For incidental highway travel,
observe the section below.
WARNING: For greater stability in uneven or steep terrain, position wheels at the furthest out
setting. (36” row spacing on models 1050-18D or 1050-22D equipped with dual wheels)
ADJUSTING ROW SPACING FOR WALKING TANDEM DUAL WHEELS
ON 1050-18D AND 1050-22D GRAIN STORM GRAIN CARTS
Securely position jacks under the frame of the grain cart as shown in
Figures A and C.
Loosen the rear of the Frame Weldment by removing the 1” x 7 1/2”
Gr 8 Bolts and Clamp Plate.
Remove the 1 3/4” x 13 1/2” Bolt and Jam Nut from the front of the
Frame Weldment.
Slide the Frame Weldment out to the bolt location for 36” row spacings
as shown in Figure A and secure using the 1 3/4” x 13 1/2” bolt and
jam nut. If the grain cart is equipped with an electronic scale system,
be sure not to damage the electronic cord when moving the Frame
Weldment.
Swing the Frame Weldment outward. Switch the tire location by
removing both tires and remounting each tire to the hub on the opposite
side of the weldment. The tire originally on the outside of the weldment
will now be located on the inside of the weldment and vice versa.
(The valve stems for 36” row spacing should be facing toward the
Frame Weldment, or toward each other.) Be sure to keep the tire
tread positioned in the same direction as before.
After the wheels have been tightened to the hubs, swing the Frame
Weldment until the new clamping location is 9” from the original 30”
row spacing stop.
Tighten the rear of the Frame Weldment to the grain cart frame using
the six 1” x 7 1/2” Gr 8 Bolts, Hex Nuts and Clamp Plate.
Torque all bolts to specifications and Repeat on Other Side.
