It's ice melt or salt. I buy it in 2000# totes, similar to seed beans or many other products. I put 30 tons in my hopper bottom yesterday (used for corn and beans during harvest). I was having a hard time filling up our salt spreader trucks fast enough so I came up with this. A couple of the trucks are so tall that a forklift can't lift the tote high enough to dump straight in the spreader body. We load the trailer with this conveyor with a honda engine on it, then turn it around and put the other end under the semi to fill the trucks. This product is a lot higher quality than regular road salt. As of right now I can't buy the good product in bulk easily around here. Plus the backhoes are tied up pushing larger snow pushers and don't have time to stop and load trucks out of a bulk pile anyway. Luckily we've had lots of snow and cold temp's around here! I'm sure lots of people are getting a chuckle out of my hopper bottom, ice melt loader setup! About forgot, on the spout, they don't want these bags returned for some reason so I cut the first string to drop the spout. Then I just cut a "T" in it until I get the right amount of flow. Will load a ton in 90 seconds, closer to a minute if you really push it.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
