Dual side bulk material tender

1. A bulk material tender comprising:

a hopper having a left side and a right side; and

a discharge system configured to discharge particulate matter from the hopper toward a target location, the discharge system including—

a discharge auger being moveable between a stowed orientation and a deployed orientation, and

a positioning actuator configured to selectively emplace the discharge auger along the left side and the right side of the hopper,

the discharge auger including a dual chute assembly, the dual chute assembly including a left-side chute and a right-side chute and configured to discharge the particulate matter toward the left side via the left-side chute and toward the right side via the right side chute based at least in part on a position of the positioning actuator.

2. The bulk material tender of claim 1 , wherein the hopper is disposed on a wheeled trailer configured to be pulled.

wherein when the discharge auger is in the stowed orientation, the discharge auger is substantially parallel to the traversing auger.

4. The bulk material tender of claim 1 ,

wherein the discharge auger includes an auger body and a tube,

wherein the auger body is disposed within the tube, and

wherein the auger body is configured to rotate relative to the tube so as to transfer the particulate matter from a proximal end toward a distal end of the discharge auger.

5. The bulk material tender of claim 1 , wherein the left-side chute includes—

an annular protrusion extending laterally;

a chute faceplate secured to a distal end of the annular protrusion; and

a chute cover configured to selectively close the left-side chute.

6. The bulk material tender of claim 1 ,

wherein the positioning actuator is a hydraulic rotary actuator, and

wherein the positioning actuator includes a worm drive powered by a hydraulic motor.

7. The bulk material tender of claim 1 ,

wherein the positioning actuator is a chain-sprocket rotator,

wherein the chain-sprocket rotator includes a chain drive powered by a hydraulic motor.

8. The bulk material tender of claim 1 , further comprising:

a traversing auger configured to transfer the particulate matter from the hopper to the discharge auger.

9. The bulk material tender of claim 8 ,

further including a deploying actuator configured to selectively emplace the discharge auger in the stowed orientation and the deployed orientation,

wherein the deploying actuator is hydraulic linear actuator associated with a central pivot,

wherein the deploying actuator is secured to a proximal mount that is secured to a rotating tube segment of the traversing auger,

wherein the deploying actuator is secured to a distal mount that is secured to the discharge auger.

10. The bulk material tender of claim 1 , further comprising:

a lighting system secured to a distal end of the discharge auger,

wherein the lighting system is configured to illuminate the target location.

11. A discharge system configured to discharge particulate matter from a hopper toward a target location, the discharge system comprising:

a discharge auger; and

a positioning actuator configured to selectively emplace the discharge auger along a left side and a right side of the hopper,

the discharge auger further comprising a dual chute assembly, the dual chute assembly including a left-side chute and a right-side chute and configured to discharge the particulate matter toward the left side via the left-side chute and toward the right side via the right side chute based at least in part on a position of the positioning actuator.

12. The discharge system of claim 11 , wherein the hopper is disposed on a wheeled trailer configured to be pulled.

13. The discharge system of claim 11 ,

wherein when the discharge auger is in the deployed orientation, the discharge auger is substantially perpendicular to a traversing auger, and

wherein when the discharge auger is in the stowed orientation, the discharge auger is substantially parallel to the traversing auger.

14. The discharge system of claim 11 ,

wherein the discharge auger includes an auger body and a tube,

wherein the auger body is disposed within the tube, and

wherein the auger body is configured to rotate relative to the tube so as to transfer particulate matter from a proximal end toward a distal end of the discharge auger.

15. The discharge system of claim 11 , wherein the left-side chute includes—

an annular protrusion extending laterally;

a chute faceplate secured to a distal end of the annular protrusion; and

a chute cover configured to selectively close the left-side chute.

16. The discharge system of claim 11 ,

wherein the positioning actuator is a hydraulic rotary actuator, and

wherein the positioning actuator includes a worm drive powered by a hydraulic motor.

17. The discharge system of claim 11 ,

wherein the positioning actuator is a chain-sprocket rotator,

wherein the chain-sprocket rotator includes a chain drive powered by a hydraulic motor.

18. The discharge system of claim 11 , further comprising:

a traversing auger configured to transfer particulate matter from the hopper to the discharge auger.

19. The discharge system of claim 18 ,

further including a deploying actuator configured to selectively emplace the discharge auger in the stowed orientation and the deployed orientation,

wherein the deploying actuator is hydraulic linear actuator associated with a central pivot,

wherein the deploying actuator is secured to a proximal mount that is secured to a rotating tube segment of the traversing auger,

wherein the deploying actuator is secured to a distal mount that is secured to the discharge auger.
