ABSTRACT:
A material storage hopper tiltably supported on the bed of a hopper support frame is disclosed, which frame is liftable either by a fork lift or a three point hitch such as used on farm and garden tractors. The frame is ground mountable such that the hopper can be used to store and dump materials while in a stationary, stand alone condition, separate and apart from the three point hitch of a tractor. The frame includes a bracket containing elongated slots in which a pin at the end of the third or central arm of a three point hitch is slidably inserted to permit the frame to level itself when elevated by the hitch above its ground mounted position. The slotted bracket also permits the frame to be self leveling when returned from an elevated to a ground mounted position.
