Seed Cart Self-Lift
If only one hoist or fork lift is available (the one presently
supporting the seed cart structure), it will be needed for
hoisting casters. The lift-assist cylinders are capable of
supporting the entire weight of the seed structure if the
mainframe is hitched to a 3-point tractor, and the lift
hoses (blue) are connected to a tractor remote.
If you need to free the hoist/lift:
37. Lower the seed structure onto its shipping stands.
38. Hitch a 3-point tractor and connect the lift-assist
circuit.
39. Raise the seed structure until the parallel arms are
slightly above level at the rear.
40. Put blocks or jack stands under the rear shipping
strands of the seed structure.
Remove Cart Shipping Stands
41. Remove the four shipping stands from the seed
structure. These are not re-used.
Install Casters
Determine how to lift move and align the caster arms
with the available lifting equipment.
Note: Recommend securing caster arm by clamping to
fork of lift.
