A material-conveying system comprises a main conveyor for conveying material, a swing conveyor for conveying the material to the main conveyor and a processor for controlling a speed of the swing conveyor based on a feedback signal. The feedback signal may be indicative of a speed of the swing conveyor and/or a speed of a main conveyor. The feedback signal may be indicative of material level, belt slippage, flow rate, belt angle and/or material rollback.

A powered wheel assembly for an auger assembly is provided. The wheel assembly comprises a power source support structure configured for attachment to the auger assembly and a power source for providing a rotational force to a weight-load supporting wheel of the auger assembly. Actuating the power source causes the weight-load supporting wheel of the auger assembly to rotate and displace the auger assembly when the power source support structure is attached to the auger assembly.

An agricultural implement for mounting on a U-shaped foundation frame supported on wheels for travel over a ground surface where the foundation frame includes first and second laterally spaced mounting beams fixed to and extending from a base. The implement is configured to perform an agricultural operation, to rest on the ground surface when in an idle position, and to attach to the foundation frame when in an operating position. The implement comprises a rigid implement portion configured to be attached to the first and second mounting beams at first and second beam locations remote from the base such that the first and second mounting beams are prevented from moving laterally with respect to each other.

A conveyor comprising a support frame, an inclined tube mounted to the support frame, a hopper at a lower end of the tube for receiving material, a spout at an upper end of the tube for discharging the material, a running plate extending inside the tube, and a cleated belt, supported by the running plate, that conveys the material from the hopper to the spout through the tube. The cleated belt comprises a plurality of spaced-apart cleats and wherein each cleat has a base extending transversely to a direction of travel of the belt and curved sides that curve upwardly and outwardly from the base.

A material transfer apparatus for transferring milled material for a ground milling machine, having a loading conveyor for discharging the milled material, a transfer conveyor for transporting the milled material onto the loading conveyor, and a transfer apparatus for transferring the milled material from the transfer conveyor into a receiving opening of a receiving apparatus of the loading conveyor, wherein the loading conveyor is swivel-mounted about a vertical swivel axis and about a horizontal swivel axis, and wherein the vertical swivel axis and the horizontal swivel axis intersect at an intersection point, wherein the horizontal swivel axis is arranged in vertical direction above the loading conveyor, in particular above the upper run of the loading conveyor. Moreover, a ground milling machine having such a material transfer apparatus.

A system for eliminating the need to reposition a tracked/wheeled radial stacker during stacking operations is provided, the stacker having a linear conveyor having front and rear portions, the front and rear portions being displaceable between raised and lowered positions, a bogie having a pair of continuous tracks that are selectively elevated off the ground, a pair of wheels mounted to the bogie that are displaced upwardly and downwardly, the wheels defining axes that may be shifted to position the wheels in either a substantially radial or substantially longitudinal direction, and a hydraulic cylinder system mounted to the wheels for displacing the wheels upwardly to lower the tracks to the ground or downwardly to elevate the tracks off the ground. A pair of hydraulically driven, telescoping frame members may extend rearwardly from the bogie to a mounting system that mounts the frame members to the conveyor, the mounting system defining a longitudinally extending slot with a trolley slidably mounted to the slot, the telescoping frame members being mounted to the trolley at spaced mounting points so that by extending and retracting the frame members, the rear portion of the conveyor can be raised and lowered, thereby changing inclination of the conveyor, wherein the trolley moving longitudinally in the slot takes up longitudinal movement of the conveyor as the inclination of the conveyor is changed.

A conveyor mold system for slip forming a concrete barrier has a concrete paving machine having a main frame having machine legs and machine tracks, an auger system for receiving concrete, a barrier paving mold having a hopper for receiving concrete from the auger system, a conveyor assembly main frame having a front roller and a rear roller, and a belt having a pattern with the belt positioned on the front roller and the rear roller.

A conveyor for transporting and elevating articles and a method and system for conveying articles up inclines is provided. The conveyor has a conveyor belt and a plurality of support elements extending outward from the article-conveying surface of the conveyor belt advancing upward along the incline. The support elements prevent conveyed articles from sliding down the conveyor belt on the incline. The article-conveying surface of the conveyor belt may provide a low-friction retention surface to articles leaning away from the conveyor belt on the incline.

A segmented articulating conveyor is provided that is articulable between a straight configuration and an articulated configuration. The segmented articulating conveyor has a plurality of conveyor segments forming a conveyor system. The conveyor segments are pivotally connected to one another to permit manual articulation of the conveyor system between straight and articulated configurations. A belt is operably engaged with the conveyor segments, the belt being configured to accommodate an arc of the conveyor system when in the articulated configuration. A motor is operatively engaged with the belt and configured to move the belt. An associated method is also provided.

A belt and a belt conveyor are provided for transporting particulate material and especially oilseeds up the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor can include an intake end having a hopper, a discharge end, a body extending between the intake end and the discharge end and a belt. The belt travels along a travel path in the belt conveyor; the belt traveling through the hopper, up an upper run in the body to the discharge end, down a return run in the body, and back through the hopper. The belt can have a top surface having pairs of adjacent ridges provided on the top surface, each ridge having a pair of arms extending from a point, in a travel direction of the belt, wherein each pair of adjacent ridges define a v-channel on the top surface of the belt.
