What the 1175 Grain Cart is used for
The cart is run alongside a combine for field unloading, then pulled to a truck or grain handling point for discharge. Its PTO-driven auger transfers grain from the hopper through the raised corner auger. Tractor size and braking capacity should suit the cart's loaded weight and field conditions.
Why the Killbros 1175 Grain Cart stands out
The corner-auger layout gives the tractor operator a useful view of the discharge stream. The single-auger design is mechanically straightforward for moderate-capacity harvest support. Its size is practical where a larger cart would be harder to maneuver.
Buying a used Killbros 1175 Grain Cart
Inspect auger flighting, tubes, gearbox, PTO driveline, bearings, and hydraulic cylinders for wear or damage. Check hopper seams, the auger sump, and frame for rust, cracks, repairs, or grain leakage. Verify tire condition, wheel bearings, hitch wear, and smooth auger folding and operation.
