Patent

CA 2151872

The invention relates to a propulsion and steering arrangement for fluent material handling apparatus for example, a grain auger. A small endless tracked propulsion unit hydraulically driven and independently controlled is releasably coupled to the main axle of the auger, between the wheels. A steering mechanism including a rotating platform attached directly to the propulsion unit is provided, a steering cylinder causes rotation of the platform and hence a change in direction of the propulsion unit. The hydraulic circuit includes a 3-spool control valve equipped with a joystick-on-valve mechanism whereby the propulsion unit can be steered while in motion.
