INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Meyer Rear Unload Forage Box. Undoubtedly you have given much consideration to your purchase and we’re proud that you have selected Meyer. Pride in craftsmanship, engineer- ing and customer service have made Meyer products the finest in the farm equipment industry today.
The Model 8100 is available as a truck mounted unit or mounted to a wagon running gear pulled and powered by a farm tractor. When the PTO is referred to, it means power takeoff from the truck or from the tractor, which- ever applies. If you have a wagon model, the PTO drive is by a rotating drive shaft connecting the tractor PTO to the forage box drive line. This is referred to as the PTO drive shaft. The PTO drive shaft is connected to the trac- tor for unloading, and disconnected and placed in a stor- age bracket when traveling and filling the forage box.
The Model 8100 may be referred to as rear unload box, forage box, box or rear unload forage box in this manual.
