ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for turning a compost silo has a portal frame adapted to travel along the ground in a travel direction and a pair of side portions spaced sufficiently apart transverse to the direction to straddle the silo. A pair of oppositely handed augers extending transverse to the travel direction between the side portions are rotatable to turn the silo. At each end this double auger is connected to the output of a respective angle drive having an input directed forwardly and connectable via a rod to the power takeoff of a tractor in front of and to one side of the frame relative to the travel direction. A tow bar has a rear end pivoted on the frame midway between the side portions and a front end connectable to the hitch of the tractor. Thus, this apparatus may follow the tractor to either side of the tractor.
