Load Cart Build
We decided to revamp our load cart this fall to change the hydraulic resistance to a progressive weight box over a front end skid. The local CNH Steiger plant donated a cab from a wheel loader so that was added to the rear of the cart as well. The box will be ground driven to provide more consistent pull distances pass-to-pass. The following pictures illustrate the build progress that occured over the fall semester.
