Abstract: A transparent shape retentive and flexibly resilient tubular member is supported from a farm tractor in an upstanding plane disposed transverse to the tractor and is vertically bowed. The interior of the tubular member includes gravity responsive indicator structure disposed therein and movable therealong to a longitudinal center position within said tubular member responsive to gravity forces when the vehicle is laterally horizontally disposed and movable, proportionally along the tubular member from a central position therein toward opposite ends of the tubular member responsive to lateral tilting of the tractor in opposite directions and structure is provided to adjustably vary the radius of curvature of the arcuate tubular member.

Abstract: A waste transfer packer having a horizontally reciprocable ram operating in a hollow spigot to deliver and compress waste material from a chute or hopper, has a spigot adapted to extend into a container through a pair of doors hinged about horizontal axes. Problems can arise on disconnection of the container from the packer due to re-expansion of the load within the container.The invention provides a spigot extending almost to the position of maximum penetration of the ram so as to continue to support the load while the ram is withdrawn and during disconnection of the container. The spigot shape can provide a sloping or stepped by a suitable profiling of the spigot front face.
