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 1325-20 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
axle setting.
