Slope Grade Profiles

For slopes up to 18% Grade (10 degrees):

• Single or dual tires on the rear of the Tow-Behind cart are acceptable.
• Total weight of the Tow-Behind cart, plus material, should not exceed 2.5 times the seeding tool weight. If an implement is towed behind the Tow-Behind cart, total weight of the cart and material, plus the weight of the towed implement, should not exceed 1.5 times the seeding tool weight.
• Reducing fill level of all tanks improves side hill stability.

For slopes from 18% to 27% Grade (10—15 degrees):

• Equip cart with dual tires on the rear.
• Total weight of the Tow-Behind cart, plus material, should not exceed 2.0 times the seeding tool weight. If an implement is towed behind the Tow-Behind cart, total weight of the cart and material, plus the weight of the towed implement, should not exceed 1.5 times the seeding tool weight.
• Reducing fill level of all tanks improves side hill and transport stability.

NOTE: Refer to Preparing the Machine section for weight charts and further information on calculations.

For slopes above 27% Grade (15 degrees):

• Tow-Behind carts should not be used.
