SEED TENDER HYDRAULIC LOAD UNLOAD

摘要

A system and method for supporting a conveyor of a seed tender so that it can be more easily repositioned between unloading and loading positions. The conveyor may be supported by a coupling that includes a motor. The motor may engage a sprocket or gear to assist the conveyor in moving between the unloading and loading positions. Thus, an operator may move the conveyor to a desired position with less effort.

主权项

1. A seed tender including a hopper configured to store material and including a discharge opening and input opening, comprising:
a conveyor including a receiving end and a discharge end; a support member to support the conveyor; and a power coupling to couple the conveyor to the support arm, wherein the power coupling includes a motor, wherein the conveyor is moveable between a loading position in which the receiving end of the conveyor is positioned under the hopper discharge opening to receive material from the hopper and an unloading position in which the discharge end of the conveyor is positioned to discharge material in the input opening of the hopper, and wherein the motor of the power coupling moves the conveyor between the loading position and the unloading position.
