Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A seed carrier includes a main hopper coupled with a frame via leg members. The main hopper has a discharge. A base plate is coupled with the frame. A support arm is rotatably coupled with the base plate at a first end. A belt driven conveyor having a conveyor hopper at a first end and a discharge at a second end is rotatably coupled with a second end of said support arm at an approximate center of gravity thereof. A latch mechanism is provided for detachably coupling the first end of the conveyor with the first end of the support arm such that the conveyor hopper is position below the main hopper discharge. When the conveyor is uncoupled from the first end of the support arm, the conveyor can rotate to a loading position wherein the discharge thereof can be positioned over the main hopper.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A seed or grain tender comprising: a frame; a main hopper mounted on said frame and having a main hopper discharge; a base mounted below said main hopper discharge; a support arm having first and second ends; a first coupling connecting said first end of said support arm with said base, said first coupling being rotatable in relation to said base about a first vertical axis of rotation, and said first end of said support arm being rotatable in relation to said…
