ABSTRACT:
For distributing feed to livestock, a vehicle frame is movable along the ground and upstanding therefrom is a bin into which the feed initially is received. An opening is defined in one wall of the bin. A conveyor effectively forms at least a portion of another wall of the bin and is movable to urge that feed outwardly from the bin through the opening. Upstanding from the frame is a carriage spaced outwardly of the bin from the opening and toward which the feed is urged by the conveyor. There is at least one and preferably are two lateral slots defined between the carriage and the bin and through which the feed is to be dispensed. A repetitively-reciprocating dispenser is mounted on the side of the carriage facing the opening for dispensing through the lateral slots incremental portions of the feed as urged toward the carriage by the conveyor. The specifics involve tining of a feed such as hay outwardly through the lateral slots as urged against tines by the conveyor.
