ABSTRACT:
Fill indicator apparatus (10) for use in a feed bin (B) to visually indicate the level to which the bin is filled witch feed (F). A first visual indicator (12) includes a first flag (18) positioned externally of the bin and movable linearly along the side of the bin. The flag is movable to a reference position prior to the bin being filled, and the flag subsequently moves from one position to another as feed is taken from the bin. The subsequent positions of the flag represent the level of feed remaining in the bin. A second and separate visual indicator (14) includes a second flag (22) also positioned externally of the bin. This second flag is movable in response to an increasing level of feed in the bin, as it is being filled, to provide a visual indication of the level to which the bin is filled. This helps prevent spillage.
