ABSTRACT:
A seed hopper for a seeding machine is provided with a plastic bin having a substantially horizontal open top that is enclosed by a plastic lid. The bin has two sidewalls having a track extending the length of the bin. The lid is provided with two inwardly extending pins that engage the track. The lid has forward closed position and a rear fully opened position. In moving the lid from a forward closed position to a rear fully opened position the pins slide along the track. At the rear fully opened position the lid can be pivoted on the pins so that it assumes a opened vertical holding position. The lid and bin are provided with cooperating latching structures for latching the lid in its forward closed position.
