摘要

The ballast hopper (14) of a ballast plough (1) is connected at a rear end—with respect to a working direction (5)—to the machine frame (3) by means of a joint (22). A pivot drive (25) is provided for pivoting the hopper (14) about a joint axis (24), extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the machine, of the joint (22). Associated with a discharge end (18), spaced from the joint (22), of the bottom conveyor belt (16) is a transfer conveyor belt (28) for passing the stored ballast (12) on to a storage wagon adjoining the ballast plough (1).
