The discharge opening of the hopper is spaced longitudinally from at least one end of the frame, and the hopper end wall on that end of the frame slopes downwardly and inwardly toward the discharge opening. The entire auger tube is pivoted at its intake end about a transverse, horizontal axis adjacent the discharge opening of the hopper.

The discharge end of the auger tube can be selectively adjusted in vertical elevation between a lowered, traveling position and at least one elevated, discharge position by support and retention means.
