Abstract
An agitator assembly mountable to the forward side of a circular bin unloading device in relation to pivoting of the device about a vertical central axis of the bin. Agitator bars of the present agitator are powered to rotate to engage and break up clumps of particulate material prior to engagement of the material with auger assemblies of the unloading device. Adjusting brackets mount the agitator assembly to the auger assembly to facilitate elevational adjustment of the agitator relative to the bin floor.
