ABSTRACT:
The portable, self-unloading fertilizer tender comprises a frame suitable for mounting on a truck or trailer for road and ground travel, a hopper mounted on the frame with a discharge opening at its bottom, a longitudinally extending auger tube in communication with the hopper, an auger mounted in the tube and support means for the tube. The discharge opening of the hopper is spaced longitudinally from at least one end of the frame, and the hopper end wall on that end of the frame slopes downwardly and inwardly toward the discharge opening. The entire auger tube is pivoted at its intake end about a transverse, horizontal axis adjacent the discharge opening of the hopper. The intake end has an opening in registration with the hopper discharge opening. The discharge end of the auger tube can be selectively adjusted in vertical elevation between a lowered, traveling position and at least one elevated, discharge position by support and retention means. The drive assembly for the auger includes a power shaft mounted for rotation on an axis extending longitudinally of the frame and a driving connection between the power shaft and the auger adapted to maintain a driving connection to the auger in its elevated position.
