Abstract: A snow blocker attachment for a device used to move snow including a snow blocker having a wall member with a hole through central portion and near a bottom edge thereof, a frame to strengthen the wall, and at least one brace member formed about the hole. The snow blocker is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis and upon a hub member which is securely attached to a bracket member which is securely attached to the snow moving device. A stop member is also securely attached to the bracket member and is used to limit the rotation of the snow blocker. In a second embodiment, the snow blocker attachment includes three plate-like members, two of which are securely attached along one side of the snow moving device and the other of which is attached across the top of the snow moving device. Instead of snow spilling over both sides of the snow moving device, the snow blocker attachment limits the snow spilling to just one side.

Abstract: A grain storage unloading system (10) with a series of augers for unloading grain (42) from a storage bin (11) is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for unloading grain (42) from a storage bin (11). The system includes a horizontal discharge auger conveyer (20) disposed above the bin's floor, the outlet end (25) of the horizontal auger conveyer (20) communicating with a point outside the grain bin (11). The inlet end (24) of the horizontal auger conveyer is interconnected to a vertical auger conveyer (13). The present invention also includes a sweep auger (32), the length of the sweep auger (32) extending the radius of the grain bin, which transports grain (42) radially toward a central part of the bin (11).
