A fertilizer distributor comprising a truck-mounted storage hopper and cantilevered distributing hoppers carried on the truck at the rear end and movable between storage positions alongside the truck and operational positions projecting laterally outward from the truck. An improved drive mechanism is disclosed for powering the metering shaft mechanism in the distributing hoppers. A selectively powered central drive unit is mounted at the rear of the truck, taking power by engagement with one truck wheel. Meshing chain flights at the inner ends of the distributing hoppers automatically engage the drive unit while the distributing hoppers are in their respective operational positions. One or both distributing hoppers may be selectively powered from the common drive unit to assure an even rate of application of fertilizer across one half or the entire width of the apparatus.
