Abstract
A material dispensing vehicle broadly includes a material hopper supported by the vehicle and a swing auger with inlet and outlet ends. The swing auger is coupled to the vehicle for shifting into and out of an extended operating position where the inlet end is disposed to receive material from a discharge opening of the hopper and the outlet end can be outboard of the vehicle. From the operating position, the swing auger is shiftable into a compact storage position where the inlet end is spaced from the discharge opening and the outlet end is inboard of its outboard position.
