ABSTRACT:
An otherwise conventionally pivotal dumping primary hopper is disclosed having in addition to a discharge gate an entry door at the front and a receiving track within the bottom of the hopper. A traversing, nesting secondary hopper having a second discharge gate rides along a traversing rail ahead of the primary hopper. With the primary hopper emptied, a gear reduction drive is utilized to thrust the secondary hopper along the traversing rail, through the entry door, and into the primary hopper along the receiving track.
