The "Mule Boy" Cotton Cart was tested at
the factory to assure proper operation of the controls and all functional
components.
To ready the "Mule Boy" for field use, the
floating tandem axles should be inverted by following these instructions:
- Using two hydraulic jacks, one on either side of tandem axle,
raise the "Mule Boy" evenly until axle assembly can be
removed. Invert the axle assembly, continue to raise the "Mule
Boy" evenly until inverted axle can be reinstalled at the higher
position.
- The side of "Mule Boy" with the conveyer chains must
be raised first. After axle assembly on this side has been secured
with ring collar and bolt, move to receiving side of "Mule
Boy" and repeat procedure.
The Mule Boy is NOW READY for operation
CAUTION: If Cotton Cart is to be transported
on roads or under overhead objects, basket must be lowered to transportation
position. Turn on tractor flashing lights when transporting unit on
highway unless prohibited by law.
- Select a tractor with 80 or more horsepower with dual remote valves.
- Plug Hydraulic cylinder and Hydraulic motor hoses in separate
remote valves.
- With tractor running at fast idle, activate remote valve to raise
basket to become familiar with unit and then activate Hydraulic
motor valve for metering chains.
- Practice pulling along side of module builder or trailer to familiarize
operator with the proper Module-Cotton Cart dumping distance.
- Basket does not have to be completely raised to unload the "Mule
Boy", this is especially good for topping off the module builder
or trailer.
- Metering chains will allow the exact amount of cotton to be unloaded
at any given time making better for topping off the module builder
or trailer.
- For more efficient harvesting, allow the "Mule Boy"
to go to the picker, thus saving dead heading of the picker to the
module builder or trailer.
