Abstract:
A system includes an agricultural conveyor system including an inner arm having a first end. The first end is configured to rotatably couple to an agricultural storage system. The agricultural conveyor system also includes an outer arm having a first end, a second end, and a pivot positioned between the first end and the second end. In certain embodiments, the first end of the outer arm is coupled to a mounting element, a second end of the inner arm is rotatably coupled to the outer arm at the pivot, and an agricultural conveyor is configured to rotatably couple to the second end of the outer arm. The agricultural conveyor system includes a rotation control assembly. The rotation control assembly is configured to couple to the agricultural storage system. The agricultural conveyor system also includes an intermediate link having a first end engaged with the rotation control assembly and a second end. In some embodiments, the agricultural conveyor system includes a latching mechanism coupled to the second end of the intermediate link. A latch of the latching mechanism is configured to transition between a latched position and an unlatched position. In some embodiments, the latch captures the mounting element in the latched position and the latch releases the mounting element in the unlatched position.
