METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING FLOWABLE MATERIAL
A system for directing flowable material to one or more preselected locations. The system includes a loader bucket with a body having a chute located at a closed end of the body, extending between an inner chute opening at the internal surface and an outer chute opening at an external surface of the body. The system includes a bucket assembly including a screen positioned in the body to define a heel portion of the bucket volume. The bucket assembly includes an auger subassembly at least partially located in the heel portion, for moving the flowable material in the heel portion to the inner chute opening, and a chute cover. The chute cover is movable between a closed position, in which the chute cover prevents the flowable material from flowing through the chute, and an open position, in which movement of the flowable material is permitted.
