Abstract: A windrow pickup attachment for asphalt pavement laying apparatus provided with a feed hopper for receiving soft asphalt aggregate laid in a windrow in front of the apparatus. The attachment comprises an upwardly inclined chute hinged to a low lying hopper front wall and a flight conveyor overlying both chute and hopper. The flight conveyor is hinged to a relatively elevated hopper back wall. Skids support the lower forward end of the chute on the pavement. A chute conveyor support supports the lower forward end of the chute conveyor on the chute. Drive mechanism pivotally attached to the forward portion of the chute reciprocates the same, and hence the chute conveyor resting thereon, between lowered working and raised transport positions.
