Hillside Operation

Tow-Between carts are recommended for hillside use over Tow-Behind carts because:

• Material in the Tow-Between cart transfers weight to the tractor for increased traction.
• Downhill drift of tool and Tow-Between cart is reduced due to the draft load of the seeding tool openers keeping tractor, cart and tool in line while seeding.
• Added stability against overturn of Tow-Between cart on slopes results from transfer of seeding tool load onto rear of cart.
• The side draft of a Tow-Behind cart adds to the tool's side draft on steep hills, causing uneven row spacing and potential reduction in yield.
