ABSTRACT:
A generally central discharge apparatus is provided for the bottom of a silo, providing for ease of access to a bottom discharge chute, from the bottom thereof, whereby the chute is ordinarily connected for delivery of silage into a hopper, and the hopper is connected to the bottom of the chute for ease of detachment and displacement therefrom. The displacement is generally laterally, by moving the hopper on tracks, and preferably occurs after a slight vertical or clearance displacement of the hopper relative to the chute. A lower conveyor may be provided, directly connected to the hopper movement therewith. An alternative form includes a two-part hopper, one of which is connected to the lower conveyor, and the other of which is a reducing hopper.
