ABSTRACT:
Two spreading mechanisms disposed across a rear outlet of a container-hopper having a movable deck, the spreader comprising a pair of two-part distribution members which rotate about vertical shafts, the upper part having four sets of resilient tines extending from angle irons spaced outwardly from the rotary shaft, the tines being bent at their ends and connected to the angle irons via coils whereby they are resiliently forced backward in their rotation through the fertilizer, usually manure, and when released resiliently spring forward whereby material engaged by the tines is flung outwardly. On the same shaft the lower part is a disc type ejector extending partly under the moving deck to receive fertilizer which the tines miss. A guide member surrounds the shaft between the ejector and the tined portion to preclude material from winding around the shaft. A plate closure for the hopper outlet is raised vertically by two pairs of arms, one pair pivotally connected on each side of the hopper whereby the closure is lifted first vertically and then pivoted at its upper part somewhat forwardly whereby its lower edge which penetrates the fertilizer moves in a substantially vertical motion just ahead of the distribution members. The spreaders are rotated and the underlying deck moved by a tractor power take-off. The closure is frictionally connected to piston and cylinder assembly on each side of the hopper and can be adjusted to various opened or closed positions.
