Abstract: An improved mobile belt conveyor is provided which can be quickly and easily converted between use and transport positions. A conveyor frame is pivotally connected to a hopper frame, with hydraulic cylinders controlling the angular position of the hopper relative to the conveyor frame. When the hydraulic cylinders are retracted, the hopper is pivoted upwardly relative to the conveyor, thereby raising a hitch on the forward end of the hopper such that a vehicle can be positioned beneath the hitch. When the hydraulic cylinders are extended, the hopper is pivoted downwardly relative to the conveyor, such that the hitch is lowered onto a hitch receiver on the tractor or vehicle. Thus, a simple two-step process is provided for movement of the conveyor system between the use and transport positions.
