More Information
Summary:A grain trailer includes a container having an upper portion with vertical sides and a lower portion with sides which incline inwardly and downwardly to a collection area. A discharge conveyor comprises a first auger tube section mounted inside the container and extending form the collection area upwardly and toward the front wall at one corner with one side wall. A second auger tube is mounted on the front wall adjacent the side wall one a mounting plate parallel to the incline section of the front wall and defining a rotation axis at right angles to the mounting plate. The first auger tube discharges through a duct into a second auger tube which lies at right angles to the axis. The second auger tube can thus be rotated on the mounting plate from the stored position along side the front wall to approximately 140 degrees to a first discharge position extending upwardly and outwardly to one side and through a further 60 degrees to a second discharge position extending outwardly and downwardly.
