There are seven variations of the J&M 875 Grain Cart Scale system. The older variant of the J&M 875 requires welding of a sleeve within the hitch area, while the current and newer variant is completely bolt on. Special attention must be paid attention to regarding hitch identification as related to the variation of scale kit needed.
If a 5 POINT scale system is needed, SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST BE CONSIDERED regarding the hole measurement in the sleeves on the five POINT systems. See variation 4 and variation 5 for more detail.
