Zusammenfassung:A conveyor support system is disclosed. The conveyor support system comprising: a first support arm (138) having a first end coupled to a frame (122) of an agricultural vehicle (100) and having a second end that removably engages a first portion of a conveyor assembly (130) that conveys material relative to a tank (102) on the agricultural vehicle (100); a first actuator (153) that moves the second end of the first support arm (138) between a raised, transport position and a lowered position; a second support arm (140) having a first end coupled to the frame (122) of the agricultural vehicle (100) and a second end pivotally coupled to a second portion of the conveyor assembly (130), the conveyor assembly (130) being pivotal relative to the second support arm (140), in a first direction, about a first pivot axis (146) and in a second direction, about a second pivot axis (149); a second actuator (156) that moves the second end of the second support arm (140) between a retracted, transport position, in which the second end of the second support arm (140) is closely proximate the agricultural vehicle (100), and a deployed position in which the second end of the second support arm (140) is further spaced from the agricultural vehicle (100) than when in the retracted, transport position; a ground engaging element (152) coupled to the first portion of the conveyor assembly (130) and, when the first actuator (153) moves the second end of the first support arm (138) to the lowered position, the ground engaging element (152) engages a support surface; and a motor (154) coupled to drive the ground engaging element (152) in a drive direction, when the ground engaging element (152) is in contact with the support surface, so the first portion of the conveyor assembly (130) disengages from second end of the first support arm (138). Further, an agricultural vehicle (100) with such a conveyor support system is disclosed.
