Unloading is best observed from the tractor
seat. If you are at ground level, the front of
the box has a top section of expanded metal
for convenient observation.

idle and disengage the PTO drive. Pull the
dump box straight ahead to pull the door
away from the unloaded pile of forage. When
free gravity will allow the door to swing shut
and the door latches will engage the apron
chain links to secure it shut. Observe that this
happens properly. Set the brakes and turn
the tractor “OFF”. When all movement has
stopped, disconnect the PTO drive shaft
from the tractor and return it to its storage
bracket. Secure it with the rubber tie down
strap.
