Offloading Vacuum Tank
An offloading vacuum system. The system has a tank to capture debris from an excavation site. The debris is pulled into the tank due to a blower pulling air into an attached hose. An internal conveyor within the tank conveys material to an offloading hub. The offloading hub has a ground-facing door which opens to deposit debris into an external conveyor. The external conveyor, when deployed, can move debris from below the tank to a dump container with a wall greater than a height of the tank.

Feed distribution assembly
A feed distribution assembly for transporting and dispensing feed includes a trailer and a silo. The silo is coupled to a bed of the trailer and is configured to position feed. The trailer is configured to couple to a vehicle to transport the feed to a desired location. An auger is coupled to a bottom of the silo. The auger is configured to selectively convey the feed from the silo to dispense the feed at the desired location.
DIVIDER SYSTEM
A divider system for diverting objects from an infeed lane into one or more discharge lanes includes a dividing screw set, a discharge screw set, and a diverting mechanism. The dividing screw set conveys a sequence of objects to an output end of the screw set where the objects are divided by rotation of the dividing screw set and outputted alternately to first and second discharge screws of the discharge screw set to form a first series of objects conveyed by the first discharge screw and a second series of objects conveyed by the second discharge screw. The divider system includes a diverting mechanism which can be selectively actuated to divert objects from one discharge screw to the other discharge screw to form a diverted group.

Auger coupling assembly with a pivotable clutch
An auger assembly for a farm implement, in which the auger assembly includes a first auger section having a first auger shaft that rotates in a conveying direction about a longitudinal axis of the first auger section and a second auger section having a second auger shaft that rotates about a longitudinal axis of the second auger section. The auger assembly includes a first auger coupling portion that includes a drive hub and a lobe. The auger assembly includes a second auger coupling portion that includes a sleeve, which receives the drive hub such that the drive hub is rotatably engaged with the sleeve. The auger assembly includes a drive pin secured to the second auger coupling portion and a latch arm that pivots in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second auger section between an engaged position and a disengaged position.
