No reduction of cart fill is typically necessary for field operation
of tow-behind carts on slopes up to 9% grade (5 degrees). Avoid holes,
ditches, or other obstructions that affect stability.
See Operation or Transport on Hillsides in the Transporting
section for more information.
Do not exceed the rear hitch capacity on the air
cart.

To determine maximum bushels of each commodity for field operation
on the desired slope, use Maximum Commodity Fill (field), tank size
information, and product density in Implement and Commodity Weight
Charts.
In this example, the total weight in the tanks is more than
the Maximum Commodity Fill (field) for a 27% grade (15 degrees). Operation
on a 27% grade (15 degrees) is not recommended. However, the total
weight is less than the limit for an 18% (10 degree) slope.

1 Values
based on the seeding tool weights in Implement and Commodity Weight
Charts.
2 Maximum Combined Cart and Rear Implement Weight
is a multiple of the seeding tool weight and may exceed the value
attainable with the heaviest product in all tanks.
3 Maximum Rear Implement Weight is based on half
of the seeding tool weight. Do not exceed the rear hitch capacity
on the air cart.
4 Weight is from the Hillside Slope Chart. Example
is based on a 13.1 m (43 ft) 1895.
5 Weight
is from the Implement and Commodity Weight Charts. Example is based
on a 550 bushel 1910 cart with a single blower.
6 4536 kg (10 000 lb) rear implement used as an
example on a 13.1 m (43 ft) 1895. Do not exceed the maximum weight
in the Hillside Slope Chart.
7 Record this number for future
use.
8 Refer
to the Implement and Commodity Weight Charts. Example based on a 550
bushel 1910 cart with a single blower.
9 Refer
to the Implement and Commodity Weight Charts.
