SCALE-TEC KIT vs. OEM
The primary difference in the scale kit design, between what Scale-Tec offers and what Brent offers is the load cell types provided on the rear axles of the grain cart. Below are some illustrations and detailed information to identify why you would want to consider one over the other....
Brent Manufacturer (CT) Scale Design on Model 782Scale-Tec does not provide this kit. This kit can only be acquired through the manufacturer.Compression Type (CT) load cell system above axle assembly-If wide metric floater tires this kit is a better option due to bending position on load cell-Does not provide the best accuracy on the system as these load cells require the grain cart to be perfectly levelto take an accurate measurement-Easier to install initially.-Commonly higher replacement item compared to spindle load cells due to the abuse on the rear spindle.
The only time Scale-Tec recommends the CT Load Cell system is if the grain cart has wide metric floater tires on your grain cart. If you do not have the wide flotation tires, it is best to utilize the spindle type.
Scale-Tec (Spindle) Scale Design on Model 782
Spindle type load cell system-Provides better accuracy for scale.-Provides better durability in field environment over CT type of Load Cells.-Hardened at higher capacity tolerance more than original spindles on grain cart.-The spindle kits are referenced above in the first step of identifying your hitch requirement.
