Abstract
A seed treating and conveying apparatus includes an elongated auger unit on which a chemical applicator tank is mounted for treating the seeds as they are conveyed through the auger tube. The auger includes a central shaft having brush flighting thereon for gentle handling of the seeds as well as for picking up treatment and thoroughly and uniformly applying it to the seeds. The auger unit is pivotally supported for adjusting the position of the discharge end without moving the vehicle on which it is mounted. In one embodiment, the auger unit is mounted on a slide track so as to be both longitudinally and pivotally movable. In another embodiment, the auger unit is removable from the associated large seed hopper for use in filling the hopper.
