Disclosed is a novel transfer conveyor for transporting material from a feed point to an input section of a main conveyor. The transfer conveyor comprises a feed end, a discharge end, and a means for conveying material from the feed end to the discharge end. A connector is provided for detachably and rotatably connecting the transfer conveyor to the main conveyor such that the feed end of the transfer conveyor may be moved about the input section of the main conveyor while maintaining the flow of material from the discharge end of the transfer conveyor into an input section of the main conveyor. The connector is also adapted to permit rotation of the transfer conveyor about the input section of the main conveyor for a range of operation angles of the main conveyor. The transfer conveyor may be provided with a nozzle portion on the discharge end thereof to which the connector is attached. The transfer conveyor may also be provided with an undercarriage that is moveable between a compact storage position and a support position wherein the discharge end of the transfer conveyor is positioned at an elevated position relative to the feed end such that the transfer conveyor is operable as a stand alone conveyor. In addition, transfer conveyor may also include means for mounting the transfer conveyor on the main conveyor in a transport position wherein the transfer conveyor is suspended under the main conveyor.
