Operation in Hilly Conditions and Addition of Ballast—1890 Single Rank

CAUTION:

A48819
A48819-UN-04JUN02

Avoid loss of control and stability when operating on steep slopes. Operation on steep slopes shifts the center of gravity of the seeding tool and can cause the tool to tip forward.

IMPORTANT: To maintain the necessary ground contact and stability, ballast the seeding tool as follows:

  • With Tow-Behind Cart

    Do not operate on slopes greater than 27% grade (15 degrees) under any conditions. Air cart capacity must not exceed 195 bushels and rear of seeding tool must be ballasted with at least 14 tractor suitcase weights that are 45.4 kg (100 lb.) each.

  • With Tow-Between Cart

    Do not operate on slopes greater than 40% grade (22 degrees) under any conditions. Do not operate on slopes greater than 32% grade (18 degrees) unless the rear of the seeding tool is ballasted with at least 14 tractor suitcase weights that are 45.4 kg (100 lb.) each.
