SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION
1. On the right side, as you are facing forward looking at the tractor, loosen the four 7/16 bolts that hold
the seed bin to the frame.
2. On the left side, remove the 7/16 bolts that hold the seed bin to the frame.
3. On the inner frame on the left side (that runs under the seed bin) place a jack between the frame and
seed bin. Lift the seed bin up about 2-1/2” on the left side.
It is recommended the hopper be supported by two methods when attaching the load cells and
brackets. In addition to lifting the hopper with a chain or nylon strap, the hopper should be supported in
the middle with a hydraulic jack or stands.
Important: The lifting chains, bucket attachments, loader/skid steer or winch must be capable of lifting
and controlling 1000 lbs.
The hopper can be lifted
by wrapping a nylon strap
or chain around the
hopper end. (Left side of
hopper shown.)
Location of secondary hopper support
using the middle frame and a hydraulic
jack. The jack must support the hopper
body not the fluted wheel drive shaft.
