GRAIN WAGON HAVING AN UNLOADING CONVEYOR WITH A MOVEABLE DISCHARGE SPOUT CONTROLLED FROM A TOW VEHICLE

摘要

A grain wagon includes a wheel supported frame on which is mounted a hopper or container for receiving grain, and the wagon is pulled by a tow vehicle or tractor. An inclined discharge auger conveyor has an outer section which folds between a stored position and an operating position projecting upwardl y and forwardly and laterally outwardly from the container. The outer auger section has a pivotal discharge spout with a pivotal internal baffle, and th e spout is actuated by a double acting hydraulic cylinder controllable through hydraulic lines from the cab of the tractor so that the tractor operator may fully loa d and "top off the grain within an adjacent semi-trailer as the tractor operator pulls the wagon along the side of the semi-trailer. In one embodiment, the outer secti on of the auger conveyor has an outer telescopic housing extension which carrie s the discharge spout and extends and retracts automatically with folding of t he outer auger conveyor section.
