5.5. X-Tend Hopper Operation
1. Lower the X-Tend hopper swing from the transport position, tilt the end of the hopper up so that the weight
is on the powerswing tires and place it in the unloading position, roughly perpendicular to the auger.
Note
In regular configurations, it should not be possible to contact the tractor cab by retracting the X-
Tend hopper, however use caution as this can happen when using a right angle PTO drive to operate
your auger.
2. Lower the hopper fully to shift the weight from the powerswing tires onto the hopper tires.
3. Retract the X-Tend hopper all the way.
4. Position the grain truck roughly two feet from the end of the X-Tend hopper, with the X-Tend hopper
centered between the truck hoppers.
5. Extend the X-Tend hopper fully.
6. Tilt/raise the X-Tend hopper up to shift the weight onto the powerswing tires and position it under the
desired truck hopper.
7. Lower/tilt the X-Tend hopper to be flush with the ground when unloading.
