A seed cotton transport is provided to transport seed cotton from the cotton stripper or harvester to a module builder. The basket upon the trailer or transport is pivoted about a point which is elevated above the sides of the module builder which is approximately eleven feet above the surface of the ground. The pivot is outboard of the wheels of the trailer. In the dump position, the weight is primarily to one side and as indicated above is very high. To prevent the trailer from overturning, stabilizing struts are hydraulicly extended any time the tilt or dump cylinders are pressurized to elevate the basket. A restricted one-way valve is used to insure that the cylinders operate in proper sequence.

1. A seed cotton transport having a. a running gear, b. a stanchion side of the running gear, and c. a brace side of the running gear, d. a frame as a part of the running gear, e. a plurality of ground engaging wheels on the frame, f. a tongue on the running gear, g. two stanchions extending upward from the frame on the stanchion side, h. a pivot point at the top of each stanchion, i. an ear on the upper portion of each stanchion below the pivot point, j. a brace running from each ear to the brace side of the frame, k. a basket, l. a flat bottom on the basket which seats upon the frame when the basket is in the transport position, m. a brace side on the basket extending upward from the bottom, n. a front and back end to the basket extending upward from the bottom, o. a structural member extending along the top of each the front and back end of the basket, p. a cylinder pad on the lower side of each structural member, q. said cylinder pad being at about the mid-point of each structural member, r. a sloping side of the basket extending upward from the bottom, s. said sloping side on the stanchion side of the running gear, t. a top edge of the sloping side pivoted to the stanchions at the pivot point of the stanchions, u. said pivot point of the stanchions being outboard of the wheels on the stanchion side of the running gear, and v. a dump hydraulic cylinder extending from each ear on the stanchion to the pad on the structural member on the end of the basket, wherein the improvement comprises: w. a forward stabilizing strut pivoted to the stanchion side of the frame at the front thereof, and x. an after stabilizing strut pivoted to the stanchion side of the frame at the rear thereof, y. a forward stabilizing hydraulic cylinder having one end connected to about the midpoint of the forward stabilizing strut and the other end connected to about the midpoint of the forward stanchion, z. an after stabilizing hydraulic cylinder having one end connected to about the midpoint of the after stabilizing strut and the other end connected to about the midpoint of the after stanchion, aa. a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure, bb. a control valve connected to the source of hydraulic pressure, cc. an extension hydraulic line extending from the control valve to one side of the two dump cylinders and the two stabilizing cylinders, dd. a retraction hydraulic line extending from said control valve to the retraction side of the two dump hydraulic cylinders and the two stabilizing hydraulic cylinders, and ee. a restriction valve in said extension hydraulic line adjacent to said control valve, including (i) a valve seat, (ii) a valve member adapted to seat on said valve seat, (iii) said valve member having a restricted passageway there through, so that (iv) a full flow of hydraulic fluid will pass from the valve to the extension hydraulic line, and only a restricted flow of hydraulic fluid will pass from the extension hydraulic line to the control valve. 2. The invention as defined in claim 1 including limitations a through ee further comprising: ff. said ground engaging wheels mounted on self-leveling axles.
