ABSTRACT:
A grain cart is equipped with a lower and an upper discharge chute. Within each chute, a discharge auger is positioned to move grain or other particulate agricultural products up the chute. The cart includes a bin with four sides, each of which slopes toward the bottom center of the bin. An intake opening for the lower chute is positioned in the bottom center of the bin. The lower discharge chute extends from the bottom center of the bin and upward at an angle to a first discharge opening where grain is discharged from the lower chute into a sleeve which extends downward at an angle and which connects with an intake opening of the upper chute. The upper chute is rotatable about the sleeve and extends outward therefrom to a second discharge opening. A hydraulic actuator selectively rotates the upper discharge chute through an arc between a lowered transport position and a raised discharge position and separate, independently operable hydraulic motors are affixed to the lower end of the upper chute and the upper end of the lower chute to independently drive the respective augers therein.
