Abstract

See full text

An apparatus adapted to be rotatably mounted proximate a discharge opening of a grain bin can include a guard. The guard can have a plurality of knife units having a plurality of spaced apart blades having grain engaging cutting edges for cutting and breaking up compacted grain. A sweep portion can include an auger rotatably driven about an auger axis by a motor. The sweep portion can be arranged substantially parallel and proximate to a floor of the grain bin. Rotation of the auger can urge grain to move toward the discharge opening. A mounting assembly can be adapted to operably couple the guard and the sweep portion such that the guard and the sweep portion rotate concurrently about the floor of the grain bin.
