摘要:
A material spreading system (10,210,410) may include a tote (16,216,416) and a spreader (14,214,414) attachable to a loading machine. The spreader may include a frame (130), an inlet (150), a lift arm (170a,170b,370a,370b), and a discharge mechanism (16,260,460) configured to selectively discharge the material onto the ground. The tote may include a container (40,240,440) having a plurality of walls (44,46,48,50,52,54) enclosing an internal volume (42) for storing a material. An opening (76) may be formed in one of the plurality of walls and communicate with the internal volume. The tote may additionally include a lift arm engaging surface (62a,62b,66a,66b,69a,69b,74a,74b) configured to engage the lift arm and permit the lift arm to manipulate the tote. The tote may also include a closure member (78) at least partially covering the opening and configured to selectively permit transfer of the material from the container to the inlet of the spreader in response to the material exerting a force on the closure me
