ABSTRACT:
A self-dumping produce bin adapted to be transported on a pair of forks pivotally mounted on the free ends of a pair of tractor mounted front end loader arms movable between raised and lowered positions, the forks being arranged to permit a bin carried by them to be movable between a produce bin lifting position, a produce bin carrying position, and a produce bin dumping position. A door in the front of the bin is self closing when the bin is moved from its produce dumping position to its produce transporting position. A bin door opening mechanism is mounted on the bin and actuable automatically by a gravity operated door tripping mechanism mounted on one of said pair of forks, when said produce bin is moved by the arms from its produce carrying position to its produce dumping position.
