ABSTRACT:
A hopper and lid system for an implement includes a hopper having a bottom and a plurality of walls forming an internal volume with a first opening through which the internal volume is filled and a second opening through which the internal volume is emptied, a lid configured to cover the opening, a first hook coupled to the lid and configured to engage one of the plurality of walls to support the lid relative to the hopper with the opening uncovered and a second hook coupled to the lid and configured to engage one of the plurality of walls to support the lid relative to the hopper with the opening uncovered. The second hook extends obliquely to the first hook. Preferably, the second hook extends perpendicular to the first hook to enable the lid to be coupled to perpendicular walls of the hopper. The hopper and lid system further includes a flexible tether having a first end coupled to the hopper and a second end coupled to the lid.
