ABSTRACT:
Present conveyors such as portable grain augers are most commonly positioned, raised and lowered manually and may be powered by a small air-cooled engine or the power take-off of a farm tractor. The disclosed undercarriage assembly for such conveyors utilizes a tractor for all modes of transport, positioning, raising and lowering, and powering of the conveyor. This undercarriage configuration allows a tractor to be coupled beside and in parallel with the conveyor. The undercarriage moves as a unit with the tractor but is freestanding when uncoupled. The tractor power take-off is utilized to drive the conveyor through the use of an additional right angle gear box mounted on the undercarriage. The tractor hydraulic and electrical systems may be utilized to power winch and cylinder controls which act to raise and lower the conveyor.
