Abstract
An agricultural row unit includes a hopper configured to store agricultural product, a mounting assembly configured to removably couple the hopper to a chassis of the agricultural row unit, and a flow control assembly coupled to the hopper and configured to selectively block flow of the agricultural product through a product passage of the hopper. The product passage is configured to convey the agricultural product from a product storage portion of the hopper to a product metering assembly of the agricultural row unit while the hopper is coupled to the chassis. The mounting assembly is configured to engage the hopper remote from an outlet of the product passage and from the flow control assembly, and the mounting assembly is configured to support a substantial portion of a load associated with the hopper and any agricultural product stored within the hopper.
