  • Proof of yield for crop insurance. Field and load records make Average Production History paperwork simple.
  • Compare hybrids side by side with field-by-field totals, not guesses.
  • Calibrate your yield monitor against real weights for yield maps you can trust.
  • Settle up with the elevator and the trucks with a load-by-load record.

Questions

Before you order

Can I install it myself?

Yes. The kit is sized to your cart and calibrated before it ships, and our install guides walk through the bars, hitch and junction box. Call if you get stuck.

My model number is on the list. Is that enough?

Not always. The same model can ship on a single axle, a walking tandem or tracks, and each takes a different kit. The kit builder asks for your running gear, and we confirm sizes before anything ships.

What if my cart is not listed?

We have fitted bars to carts for over fifty years, including older carts never built for a scale. Send us the make, model, year and a photo of the axle and hitch, and we will size it.

Can I keep the indicator I already have?

Often, yes. Choose weigh bars only and tell us what indicator you run.

What does freight cost?

It depends on where you are. We quote it to your address on the quote, before you commit to anything.
