摘要

An apparatus for use with a planting assembly including a mounting member an d comprising a hopper including first and second wall members that form first and second hopper external surfaces wherein first and second forces applied perpendicul ar to the first and second surfaces include at least components along first and second opposing trajectories, respectively, a first elongated bearing member rigidly linked to the mounting member and forming a first bearing surface that applies a first applied forc e to the first hopper surface wherein the first applied force includes at least a first compressing component along the first trajectory, a second elongated bearing member forming a second bearing surface and having a first end and a retainer linked to the first end of the second bearing member and rigidly linking the second bearing member to the mounting member in any of several different positions relative to the first bearing member so that the second bearing surface applies a second applied force to the second hopp er surface wherein the second applied force includes at least a second compressing component along the second trajectory.
