Abstract: An automatic net feeding system may contain: a hopper adapted to contain food; an inner hopper adapted to gravitationally receive food from the hopper; a movable screw adapted to rotate at a predetermined time, and extrude food therethrough, the screw containing a periphery, an inlet, and an outlet; a screw housing containing the movable screw whereby the movable screw is adapted to slidably engage an inner wall of the screw housing; and a dish for receipt of the food, whereby the food is provided at a predetermined weight depending on the rotation of the movable screw.

Abstract: A stabilizing system for installation on existing dirt buckets which is used by engaging the ground surface being leveled with shock absorbing sleds affixed to the underside of the dirt bucket. The load characteristics of each shock absorber may be independently adjusted by hydraulic valving connected to each shock absorber. The minimum shock absorber pressure is set by inputting an inert gas into a connected fluid reservoir until the desired minimum pressure is reached. The maximum pressure is adjusted by the relief setting of a connected pressure control valve.
