Well we finally bought a bigger cart. Killbros 1800 1000 bushel grain cart. We bought it from a guy down by Bowling Green MO. Dad pulled it back with the 3/4 ton Dodge lol Took him a good hour lol As you can see its in "Like New" condition. Now, anybody want a Killbros 475 cart? lmao We hope to pull it with the 4650. That way the MT665B is free for fall tillage. Next on the list of stuff to get is a bigger/newer grain truck. I just wanted to ask is there anything we should know about these carts before it goes to the field? Thanks for looking!      |

Looks like a nice cart, top priority on the list; check for oil in the gearbox... learned that the hard way... I would do some research and see how much tounge weight is on that cart and then compare it to the old one, that will tell you soon wether or not you will be able to pull it with the 4650. If you are worried about the tounge weight (drawbar weight) get ready to build a support bar that uses the 3-pt lift arms and a chain to support the tractors drawbar, takes some weight off the tractor drawbar to keep it from bending, learned that the hard way also... hitch pin hole it now an oval  Other than that it looks good, I have to ask, What is the cylinder on the back for? I take it that this is a twin auger cart but I cant tell what the cylinder back there would be for... |

hey, Thanks guys. yes oil is in the gearbox lmoa The auger on the back is for the unloading gate I do have a pic of the 475.  The tonge weight isnt really a problem as long as we fill the middle or rear first lmoa |

You will have to get some pictures of how the gate for the bottom auger works how that hydraulic ram is located. I still dont get how that is supposed to work being at the back of the cart If you have to sit and wait on trucks with a full cart you will have problems with toungue weight, if you have rolling fields, ditches, washouts, etc... you will have issues with tounge weight. Also if you have to sit and wait on a truck I would suggest keeping the old cart... I will explain later if interested. |

My friend's dad just bought an 1800 and it works good but he pulls it with a bigger tractor than you are using, it throws it on the 8640 Deere
