Abstract: In a dump truck of the type having a frame mounted on ground wheels, a dump box having a floor, two side walls, a front wall at a front end and an open rear end with a tail gate where the dump box is supported on the frame for movement between a lowered position for storing and transporting materials and a raised position where the front end is elevated for dumping the materials out of the open rear of the dump box under gravity, the side walls are tapered so that a spacing at the front end is less than a spacing at the rear end so that the materials as they slide forwardly come away from the side walls to reduce pressure on the side walls and aid the sliding.

Abstract: A feeding apparatus comprises a frame being arranged to be supported to a suitable support structure, a stationary bowl member having an open bottom end being arranged to hold feed and a rotatable plate at the open bottom end of the bowl member. An adjustment mechanism being arranged for spacing the plate from the bottom end of the bowl member such that rotation of the plate releases the feed onto the plate for feeding.
